you cannot mix politics with business.. it's gonna fall especially those PAP clowns have no idea how to do business in the first place. Better get out or boycott living in Singapore as soon as you can for your safety and well-being. Year after year, i boycotted many things that are being screwed up by PAP. Changi airport, Scoot , SQ, now also those newly acquired buildings by Tiongs like Clementi mall, and soon CenterPoint.

i also boycott eateries that show 3rd world hygiene standard like many of those in neighbourhood malls. Those that use hand gloves but touch everywhere like the gloves are some god given cover that is always clean. They even use glove to grab bee hoon and put on your plate and the same bee-hoon-picking glove also holding that plate that serve you. That is how bad it is now.
