Yes basically correct. But there will be a very very small percentage , probably less than 1% who are rich and still live in hdb.  
such as some older folks who had well and continued to live in hdb.  

Who is truly rich and living in HDB?  Just use MCF as a sample.  
 

Also , Income ceiling is upon purchase of hdb. Doesnt mean that you cant get rich thereafter. But usually if you get truly rich thereafter you wont stay hdb anymore. 
 

anyway, off topic liao.

this is retrenchment, lay off thread. Lets stick to topic

Hard to say. There are rich people who don't like fancy and ostentatious things to show off, and prefer to live humble life.

But yes, off topic liao. Let's move on.

Yeah I didnt say there wasnt.  but they are outliers as mentioned minutes ago

Like @Ginyu and me , very humble life.   but we still dont live in HDB.   yes lets stay on topic.

Retail business is very tough in this era of online shopping

retail pricing so much more expensive, for budget people like me will always buy online. Things like under Armour t-shirt only cost me less than $20 online and the same thing will easily cost $40 at store. My Adidas running shoes all purchased online at only $30-$40 only.

I cannot get my head into buying shoes without trying them first.

Okay, so I get quick-dry sport t-shirts from China for like $4, delivered, but I want to try shoes first.

Ironically it's because people are rich or think they are rich. You see running groups nowadays, all outfitted with brand name gear and trends. These people will not be buying shoes from RSH, but from more specialty stores like running lab, for example. RSH seems more like something from yesteryears auntie-uncle shop for shoes, back in the day when running had yet to become as trendy as today.

Years ago we were looking for a set of swimming flipper for my son. Instead of shopping at those big sport house, we went straight to TYR distributor.
