This is double the price at most places in Singapore. Why do attractions like the zoo and Jurong BirdPark resort to such exploitative pricing, including charging $2 for bottled water and $3 for a can of soft drink? Is it not enough to earn from admission fees, corporate sponsorships and selling souvenirs at sky-high prices? Such pricing policies do nothing to make visitors feel welcomed.'</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
