The news on Changi Airport giving rental discounts to airline companies using their space & facilities speaks a lot.

 

Not much tourists are coming here any sooner. Many big names already down sized their shop front and manpower cut. They have to. As for the landlords I doubt they will let up and give their tenants rental discounts. Those big names linked to TH no need to say will just sit back and continue collecting rent.

this is the problem with them, sitting in their oligopoly chairs, increase rentals to boost profits and meet KPI and earning millions easily, frankly I also can do this job man.

Won't help except if it is enough to encourage more people to spend their money here. Our retail industry is losing competitiveness. Recently, saw this interview of some retail association chairman who said that they cannot compete on prices, they will try to compete on services. But our services since when improve ?

 

What services? Hahahhaha..

 

I go japan shopping also cheaper den sg

 

Strange but true!

 

Last time go JB, everything cheap, I was happy. Now go Japan and other supposedly more expensive countries and still find those places cheap, I'm sad. It just goes to show how immune to the price increases we've been already. (Japan, only their transport / train prices I see and [smash] .. But it's so much better, and on time, and not as much breakdowns, so, still [thumbsup] )

One of worse is Marina Square, many empty retail space.

Marina Square after the revamp will need to reinvent themselves to attract the shoppers.

Orchard still has the tourist heartbeat and Pinoys playground on weekends.

 

I won't go to either places nor MBS.

the most basic things in japan are cheaper than here.

 

1) house

2) food

3) internet+phone

4) car

Part of the reason is the more expensive ERP to go Marina/Suntec area compared to Orchard. Even the parking at Marina Square on a sat evening compared to places like ION/Wisma/Paragon is a lot more expensive. Nowadays if I go town to shop, mainly is Orchard or Vivo. No point to go Marina Square or Suntec unless specifically looking for something there which is not available in Orchard/Vivo.
