Singapore destroyed just to save a handful of old farts who are close to death anyway

So, to let these restaurant owners make money, we should let the virus run loose, spread to vulnerables and drag more and more innocent human lives along ?

What about the huge profits they made in the golden days? All spent on Lamborghinis?

This is a good time to weed out the wheat from the chaff. We have way too many F&B outlets anyway
Yep, exactly my thoughts. These crooks in disguise will always cry father cry mother.

You sound just like @cloudy it isn't the restaurant owners who will suffer. It is those that they employ who will have nothing.

The owners will lay off staff and cut overheads and come back another day. Those that work for them will end up with zero income for months.

Then the wage subsidy program is a failure and the money should have been directed at employees instead of employers.

Should have stopped those Scoot flights from Wuhan in late January.

And don't forget the follow-up Chingay Parade photo op, pretending everything was alright.

The greed to pursue tourism dollars has ironically, made the island lose even more money.

Most of the smaller sole proprietor restaurants and cafes are not going to make it. Cut your losses and pursue another business. :cool:

If F&B goes kaput, almost all of the malls will be affected. The REIT bloodsuckers will feel quite a bit of pain.

I still maintain that there are too many malls in Sinkieland, even if you factor in the increased population. Back in the day, a mall outing was something you planned for the weekend in the downtown area, not a place where you stop over during your daily commute.

These FnB outlets proliferate because they are allowed to hire tons of cheap labour from Malaysia and other ASEAN countries, thereby artificially keeping costs low.

In a normal recession many of these outlets would be folding anyway. The govt already has placed them as first priority ... Meaning that the wage credit scheme over the next few months they will get a higher percentage than other industries.

If they still can't survive, they should be left to die

Cheap labour has been the bane in attempts to transform our economy.

That was what I have been telling all my friends. Those businesses, especiallly F & B in the CBD, have been milking high profit margin, with cheap labour, for decades. Now they are crying no money, and wanted governement and landlord to provide handout, speaks volume of greed and entitlement mentality. Fuck these business, they ought to close down for good and send home all the cheap foreign forces. Singapore needs good business, not cheapskate bosses, with unstainable business, who think of nothing but themselves in time of crisis.
