3 reasons.................
1) PAP chasing them out......pressurize landlords not to rent to Giant (like at Parkway and Vivo City)
2) Sinkies are dumb.....if Giant is out = NTUC and Sheng Siong will raise prices
3) Giant management is useless...............with Giant and Cold Storage under same company plus operating in M'sia.............should be able to outdo Sheng Siong

That day I went cold storage and saw their Driscoll black berry selling for $8.25 whereas at NTUC it's selling for $9.95. usually cold storage should be more expensive but now NTUC is so much more expensive.
