SGD strengthened but why NTUC supermarkets & Hawker food prices did not come down?

Everything should be cheaper today than yesteryears 

Why are they not passing the benefits to consumers: Someone Profiteering
"CCCS enforces the Competition Act 2004, and has broad legal powers to investigate and penalize infringing parties. It also enforces the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, which protects consumers against unfair trade practices in Singapore."

You wait long long, 讲一套,做另一套。
They have addicted to inflation just like they addicted to massive import.

Inflation and deflation is neither good nor bad.
When they say good inflation, must be a joke lah.
Using currency to make more profits from us

PAP works like Commodity Trading Company

to amass their wealth for their Party every year
They create inflation to help you spend your hard earned $$$ away. This is why your $$$ always not enough lah!

What wrong with collecting MORE MONEY?

With a growing strong SGD keeps appreciating against other currencies, 

Singapore continuously importing cheaply from other countries but why NTUC Fair price, coffee shops and hawkers are not passing those benefits to the  customers?

Instead, px keeps on going up
In April 2022, The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) transferred S$75 billion of its foreign reserves to the Government of Singapore (GIC). This was done to manage the strong appreciation pressure on the Singapore Dollar Net Effective Exchange Rate (S$NEER).

Note
Today, NTUC fair price transferred nothing to customers.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is investigating Coles and Woolworths, the two largest supermarket chains in Australia, for alleged misleading pricing practices and potential market dominance. The ACCC has launched legal proceedings against the companies for claims that they misled consumers through promotional pricing, including "Prices Dropped" and "Down Down" claims. Additionally, the ACCC is conducting a broader inquiry into the supermarket sector, including potential issues like market dominance, land banking, and supplier relations.

Singapore copied price increase from Australia?
Where does NTUC profit goes to ? By default each NTUC member pays $9 every month. Assuming 1 million members, NTUC net $9 million. This is on top of profit reaped from supermart, taxi etc..

Yet their pricing cannot be lower than Sheng Shiong or ABC store?
