[greedy and cunning]

don't insult your own intelligence lah. go into the gutters and it's a shame you resort to such vulgarities and obscenities. well....your mother will be ashame of you indeed....anyway thanks for responding with such low down sluttty remarks. good day!

YoU should expect this if you post things like what you posted,

THE PRETENDER leongsam created this forum solely for the purpose of bashing the Pee A Pi.

The real problem is manpower. They hire too many locals n therefore can't compete.

You are spot on. An employer could have hired 2 foreigners for the price of one local.

You are really stupid.The traffic and parking will change if fairprice takes over??? Or maybe fairprice shoppers go there using bicycles???

 

[soikee]

I should list out all your clones from 2008 and show everyone how u enjoyed flipping pratas. Anyone here interested to know? I can confidently say that my accuracy is 100%

This arsehole has got no shame at all!

Not long ago he got caught for lying that he has two mothers.

Maybe he's a product of 2 mothers and 5 fathers.

Don't know exactly, but visually can tell they don't hire prc n pinoys. That's a formula for failure in retail business

More likely they are a victim of the PAP's high rental policies

Saw that Best Denki at Plaza Singapura giving up their large store & now there are many smaller shops there, including a smaller Best Denki.
When enough people loose their job they will eventually get around to blaming the PAP So by the next GE we'll probably see the PAP lose more.

Carrefour to close Singapore outlets by year-end
By TODAY | Posted: 28 August 2012 1225 hrs

SINGAPORE: Hypermarket chain Carrefour has announced that it plans to close both its local outlets -- at Suntec City Mall and Plaza Singapura -- by the end of this year.

In a press release dated Tuesday morning, the company said: "Carrefour Singapore announces the decision to close its Suntec and Plaza Singapura stores before end of 2012, since expansion and growth perspectives do not allow reaching a leadership position in the medium and long term."

The French company, which opened its first store in Singapore in 1997, had previously said in 2010 that it would leave Malaysian, Singaporean and Thai markets.

In November 2010, it sold its operations in Thailand -- where it had 42 stores including 34 hypermarkets -- to Thai chain Big C, for an enterprise value of 868 million euros (S$1.36 billion).

But in the same month, it put off plans of selling its stores in Singapore and Malaysia, saying it was confident of creating more value single-handedly in Malaysia and Singapore in the medium and long term, rather than by disposing of those properties.

Then-chief executive of the Carrefour group, Lars Olofsson, said at that point that the two countries would become more significant contributors to the company's overall business.

However, other reports claimed that Carrefour had cancelled plans to sell its Malaysian and Singaporean assets after the designed sale did not attract expected bids.

In 2009, Asia accounted for 7.9 per cent of Carrefour's sales of 85.9 billion euros. Carrefour's two outlets in Singapore contributed 85 million euros in revenue that year, according to its annual report.

Separately, Dairy Farm Singapore says it has signed a lease to open a new Giant hypermarket chain at Suntec City. It is also exploring the possibility of taking over the space at Plaza Singapura after Carrefour ends its lease.

€85m out of €85.9bn is peanuts for its Singapore operations. Carrefour's Malaysian outlets will be next to close. They are fighting both Giant and Tescos for market share in Malaysia.

I googled...kena makaned by tesco liao.
I thought the other time thai big C wanted to muscle in on local supermarket scene? No news liao.

The closure of two flagship stores by the world's 2nd largest supermarket chain and the loss of at least 380+ jobs (plus some down the supply chain) is something that looks bad whichever way you look at it.

Never mind about the 380 lost jobs for 70% of them are cheap foreign trash!

 

[soikee]

Agree here. Kopiuncle giving other uncles very bad name.

What do expect from an arsehole who blatantly lied that he has two mothers and one of them had just passed away.

 

[soikee]

FAIRPRICE NTUC IS THE THE BEST!!!!The cheapest and the bestest! Bravo to local enterprises!!! Good-bye Carrfloor!

One of your two mothers died oredi. So how the 2nd wan got die or not?

Uncle, my experience is that products from NTUC are not cheap. Giant plus Shop N Save offers better price. For biscuit, usually Econ minimart is cheaper.
NTUC short changed many of the elderly (who were pioneer shareholders of the business) by taking away their link points for purchases? Rather cruel isn’t?
