If i'm not wrong 1 botak burger costs the same as 3 macdonalds double cheeseburgers. No doubt the botak burger has a fatty patty but the price is ridiculous. Worse still they still have the gall to charge an extra $1 to add a slice of cheese.

Nobody cares about your asinine theories.

It is speculated this report may be a smear job since the guy has been out of touch with SG for 10 years but know all about STOMP. Back in S'pore after 10 years, cheated three times in one day When STOMPer Christian came to Singapore 10 years ago as a tourist...

I'm sure the ice cream man would. ;)

And how so?

Who cares? Maybe you can ask yourself if talking theory can put money in the ice cream seller's pockets. :p

No offence but that is copy and pasted directly from textbook theory. I can only say you don't have a businessman's mindset. Nothing wrong with that. Different people approach things from different angles.

Do you know some Singkees use their maids to queue for them? Another world class behaviour in the making

Not really. Let's say the food court is really crowded and it takes 10 mins to buy lunch. In 10 mins, a well trained NS slave can easily finish his food so turnover is actually -1.

If I read correctly, the main reason cited for poor business is the recession. A lot of businesses get affected by the economy. It is up to the owner to think of new ways to make money. If they can only survive due to "protectionism", there is no hope already. As for how many vendors Orchard...

You have given a good explanation on why licenses are needed and I agree with you. However, if you read the 1st post, the vendors who got chased out already have a license to sell ice cream. What they don't have is a license to sell at Orchard. Therefore, the problem is bureaucratic rather than...

Wahahaha .... a German named Kraut. Luckily she doesn't live in UK or she'll never hear the end of it.

The question here is not legal or illegal because bureaucracy is preventing people from even getting a license. If PRCs want to sell street food so be it. I am a person who is very pro-free enterprise, especially at the individual level. As long as there is no safety hazard or nuisance to...

Once again our govt is killing the spirit of enterprise, just like what the did to those breakfast vans. Considering the one time licensing happened 35 years ago and only a handful of people have the license, why not issue a few more? The pasar malam argument is full of shit too. Remember the...

Ahem... since a certain party like to follow the US style of paying top dollars for talent, will they also follow the latest US style of returning undeserved bonuses? http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/23/news/companies/aig_bonuses/index.htm?cnn=yes

If I'm not wrong, POSB will deduct an admin fee from people's account if their balance is less than a certain amount. So not only will this granny be unable to withdraw her last $10, it will slowly be nibbled away by the bank. This is what happened to my POSB account last time.

My HK friend told me that LKY's memoirs are sold in the bargain bins of HK bookstores. :o

I think his book cost about $30? Quite expensive since it is soft cover not very thick and the fonts are large.

Nowadays, climbling Everest has become very commercialized and touristy. If climbers join a commercial expedition, they have a personal Sherpa guide to lead them up and down the mountain. These Sherpas are also the unsung heros who recce up Everest before the climb officially starts to lay and...
