bros who have small children. i need your opinion. My children drinking Similac. recently they jack up their price abt 20%. Coincidently I found this shop import lots things from SEA countries. Their diapers super duper cheap. normal price cheaper than NTUC on sale. Anyway back to similac, made by Abbott. Made in Ireland, distributed in Singapore abt $68 selling in NTUC Made in Ireland, distributed in Malaysia sold in that shop $55. The factory in Ireland making both is even the same. I think the malaysia one confirm safe but may be similar or at worse slightly inferior in quality. I mean sell in malaysia so what? Abbott no need to protect their reputation meh? Sell in malaysia anyhow put ingredient meh? cannot be rite? But wife say no. not safe! malaysia not safe! hahaha.. my argument is this... Imagine the Malaysia's king's or prime Minister's grandchildren drink milk powder go where buy? probably their maid buy from Jusco or Carrefor in Malaysia right? cannot be they import direct from Abbott Similac USA tio bo? How to convince my wife huh? We can afford the $68 per tin lah.. but I feel very kam lan to buy from NTUC when there is a $55 tin waiting for us to buy.....

keke... i know this is very off topic in a car forum... but I dun join other forums... anyway, I am always in charge of buying milk and diapers for my 1+ and 3+ kids... I feel so helpless against the giants like abbott! wife insist kids muz drink Gain from abbott... they have been increasing prices steadily over the years... this one nvm.... recently, they change their number 2 and number 3 from "immunify" range to "intellipro" range. "immunify" is being phased out... for those whose kids are on this milk, you will notice the bear image also change from 2D to a bit more 3D... and with this change, every tin increase by more than 15%!!! really feel kana blackmail man.. they know parents seldom or never change milk brands because of price. and spot on, wife refuse to consider other brands... oh ya... stephanie sun recently joined as their ambassador! maybe need to claw back endorsement fees.
