Nothing wonderful about those shopping malls in Orchard as everyone seems to be selling similar stuffs.
With such a high rental locals sinkies seldom patronize those shops and tourist are getting smarter these days.

In Spore I only pay for essentials: food, electricty & water, public transport. When I need anything else I order them online or get them when I travel. Haven't even had gotten a haircut locally for decades
The most recent big ticket item item I purchased was a Dyson vacuum cleaner. In Spore it would cost me $999. I decided to get it from eBay for $600. Why pay pay $999
The local warranty doesn't even cover the lithium ion battery. In the USA the battery is covered by a 6 month warranty.
I wear sports clothing not because I am sporty but because these clothes are comfortable & technical e.g. quick drying, long lasting, made of material which provides sun protection,...
All my health supplements are imported. Also get many grocery items like cashews, oats, honey, spices, organic ketchup, snack bars,.... are imported directly from the USA.

Online shopping is the way to go!
S$ so strong against so many currencies (A$, NZ$, RM, C$ etc), how many tourists would be going to Orchard Road to shop? Going to HK, China, Malaysia, Thailand etc to shop would be so much cheaper!!!!!
With carpark, ERP charges for Orchard Rd so expensive, how many locals: SINKIES would be driving and parking there to shop in Orchard Road????
Those retailers who opt to do business paying exhorbitant rentals in Orchard Road must have an unfulfilled deathwish or really need to book an appointment with IMH doctors for assessment!

Fewer FL on the street with all the online mm...problem is there's a high chance you don't get what you see as too much photoshopped...
Not only Orchard Road. Even HFJs kpkb. Economy not doing as well as reported. Many can-do singers packed up after 2-3 months.
Buy everything you need from JB, you save an average of 30%.
Hush now, you're going to hurt the feelings of patriotic Sinkies. Strong SGD = a source of Sinkie patriotic pride. Just like clean drinking water, high-speed Internet, the red Sinkie passport.

GDP is down for the quarter.
MAS will devalue the currency.
only a bad government will do that,
a good government will not devalue its currency.
instead, if PAP are good, they will cut their pay when gdp is down and use their pay cut to give it back to the society
What's wrong with men wearing lingerie?
I bet a lot do, either in private or in changing rooms.
More than a few sods here do just this.
A strong sgd only benefits businesses and retailers.they can import cheap goods from other countries and sell to sinkies at sky high prices.for example a curry puff in johor only cost 50 sen ringgit.I can take $50 sgd and buy 300 curry puffs from johor,smuggle it across causeway and sell it for 90cent sgd each and make a whopping 400% profit.and daft and stupid sinkies thanks to a very strong sgd are paying four times as much as they should for a kali pok.
I bought curry puff for Sgd 0.50 only in Singapore. Who will go try eating curry puff at 1.40 ?
China econ is going down hill. Too many poor and not enough middle class to support the economy. These HFJ come here to look for long term meal ticket. BTW, all these are considered 3rd Class. Top class ones are still in China plying their trade.
