I feel that a commercial establishment can sometimes be more effective than the opposition party in conveying ground sentiments to the ruling party. When folks like Ikea offers help, it doesn't first check whether you're staying in a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 room, executive HDB, or private property. That's why I like to go Ikea jalan jalan.  😁

'We know that customers in Singapore are feeling the pinch': IKEA slashes prices for over 140 product

IKEA Singapore in September reduced the prices of 144 products, with price cuts planned for more than 60 other products by Apr 1, 2024. This comes after IKEA announced last week that it would be cutting the prices of some of its products globally. 

“I think 2023 was the year where we turned the corner on prices and started lowering them again,” chief executive of Inter-IKEA Group Jon Abrahamsson Ring told Bloomberg, referring to the wholesale prices that are charged to retailers such as IKEA Singapore.

“We are delighted that wholesale prices will finally come down on IKEA products in the future and we always pass on savings where we can,” said Mr Jansen. 

He added that IKEA’s 2022 Life at Home report revealed that 74 per cent of Singaporean respondents - over 1,000 were surveyed - expressed worries about their household finances.

“That’s why we work hard to keep prices as low as possible on essential and best-selling items so these savings really matter and count for the many Singaporeans looking to get the most for their home,” said Mr Jansen.

I wonder why would people want to eat there .  But the problem is this is like a mini coe system, they raise their price and there are still wiling buyers, so there is nothing for us to complain about

If all wives can quit the job, stay home and cook healthy meals for the family, within a month or two, all these expensive cafe and hawker will go bankrupt. 

But won't happen lah. Majority of ppl in SG depend on eat-out for daily main meals, even weekends for some. They have no choice.
