Is Great Singapore Sale a Dead event?

[AhMeng]

Just wondering ... Went to the mall to have a look... Nothing special at all. I wonder is Singapore Tourism Board spending tax dollars wisely. If it's crap, please axe this rubbish event from the calendar.

Looks like this thread is as dead as Great Singapore Sale...Lol

The sale is happening online, they can't match the offers.

40000 to 50000 Singaporeans lost their money in the biggest corporate collapse - Noble & Hyflux in Singapore history. Our government managed to suppress the outburst but it will be reflected on the retail scene.

For branded goods, I recommend Amazon.

The government is the biggest owner of the retail malls in Singapore. Fat bonuses for those para-dropped into the subsidiaries.

Capitaland and NTUC (Nex, Thomson Plaza, AMK Hub, etc)

Those local idiots have no idea how it works, they think e-commerce is putting up the items online, same price as retail.

Waiting for shopping to be taken over by blockchain - Avoid GST for good.

US and many countries increases GST threshold for online shopping and Singapore wanna reduce the threshold (Now, we don't need to pay GST for up to S$400 of goods, including shipping).
