Man charged with stealing tins of baby milk powder
- Thread starter Microsoft
- Start date
Shop N Save is intended for people, like myself, who are of very humble means. I go and shop there for groceries because the prices are cheaper than Cold Storage. I am therefore disappointed that someone will go and shoplift in one of the outlets. This kind of behaviour will inevitably compel Shop N Save to raise its prices so as to offset losses from shoplifting and thus severely impacting people of humble means like myself.:(
Time is so bad nowadays...:*:
INGAPORE: A 31-year-old man has been charged with stealing five tins of baby milk powder worth about S$300.
Melvin Teo Tze Min allegedly stole the milk powder at about 6.30pm on October 8 at a Shop N Save outlet in Sembawang Drive.
If convicted, he can be jailed up to seven years and fined.

Why didn't Melvin go see his MP, the famous $8 'cow' or Melvin is stealing them to make money?
Sir, thank you for your empathy. Not only feel sorry for him. Also feel sorry for his baby.
Does it help jailing him for 7 years? I wish some kind soul could help them.
Giving to the President Charity?? Whatever for?
How much per dollar went to deserving folks. How much per dollar went to administration overheads like those highly paid staff, rental, utilities, auditors, legal advice etc? How much per dollar ended to the needy?!?
Sir, so nice to see your posting once again.
Thought you really retired from posting in SBF. Yes, when he resort to stealing he must be really down and out.
How is your NZ application? Hope all is well.
Oh yes, BTW, got a new chap called Ralders in the chatroom. Any relation to you?
Moi think ah sam doing market "testing" again...
Sir, that boss sam hor, he said things very hurtful one.
Do market "testing" also not like that mah. Have some empathy if no sympathy hor.
If I am not mistaken, Shop N Save is not part of Cold Storage but part of Dairy Farm Group which owns both. Shop N Save is intended to be the downmarket alternative to Cold Storage. If the prices are the same then Dairy Farm would not need the store differentiation.
Kindly see this review

They wanted the store differentiation, but never backed it up with the pricing. ShopNSave pricing is comparable with the lower ends of Cold Storage pricing, which is still about 10% higher than NTUC
Doesn't matter. The purpose of charity is never about helping the poor anyway. It's all got to do with assuaging the conscience of guilt-ridden middle-class Sinkies. Moral posturing helps them to sleep at night and tolerate the sight of themselves in the mirror, knowing that despite their debt-fuelled splurging on Hermes bags and iPhones, they too have "empathy" for the plight of the poor. Singaporeans are very well-rounded ok?

Unfortunately...once we respond...we naturally becum de test subject...
:p
Faulty logic. Pricing is way much more than this. Business factor this in, and address it if disproportionate or out of hand.
This unfortunate episode is not going to get people back to breast feeding
Desperation moi guess...anyway de news article is too brief for any solid conclusion...usually those who really want to steal...go for small and expensive item...not milk powder...
nope, but we can blame the government for lousy economic planning
