There must be a clear price for non- food items that Hawkers are selling. It leaves too much confusion where some stalls charge 20 cents for take away and additional 10 cents for plastic bags while others don’t!

Next year these plastic bags will cost $0.20 a pc...5 years down the road it will cost more than $0.20 ..it is like a commodity..who wants to keep stock now and sell it at a higher price later?

Don't buy from her stall lah!

Singapore likely to implement breathing tax. Everyone will be taxed on the amount of air you breath. Foreigners must pay also, no exceptions unless you don't need to breath.

[wendychan]

getting riduculous.


bought something from Marche somerset today and saw that they charge now for bags, except that they use paper bags.

but they wrap their sandwiches etc in a paper bag with plastic on one side


im all for going green but dont jump on the band wagon just for the sake of profiteering

[Goldmine]

Who causes all these animosity and unhappiness. Plastic bags is a necessity product in our daily life. Imposing charges won't reduced the usage. It only add to the cost of consumers. Soon these stall holders and fruit sellers will start to charge for their plastic bags. Silly MPs come out with such silly ideas  Before that was the call for 20cts deposit for tray return. What was the result? No implementation. Instead we see the start of rising food price in foodcourts. Stall holders prefer to raise prices of their food instead to pay for the cost of hiring cleaners. Still we have to clear tray. All these suggestions by these MPs only add to higher cost to consumers.
What's next?

I went to ABC store over the weekend

they also charge 5cents per bag

[hansamu]

All these 5 cents seem small,  but they add up and can result in cost push inflation. 

The authorities better monitor and stop it from galloping upwards unknowingly.

[jus4lucky]

dont buy from stall that charge 20 cent for take away . made a law that take away is a crime. this should not be a profiteer way to earn money

[Lukongsimi]

Went to diy shop they only charge for small plastic bag not big ones

[hansamu]

All these freaking take away charges I believe, originated from Hongkies doing biz here.

[Alice Alicia]

This is what happen when ministers are out to achieve their KPI and claim huge annual bonus at the expense of the peasants.

Singkies got scammed by their own ministers.

[Blasterlord2]

Farking retarded minister who came out with this policy.
