Just came back from Tokyo
In fact, we are 20% to 50% more expensive
PAP should be pushing and proud to be #1
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Very costly here. To buy a van with high COE is unreachable for small businesses.

And you buy more expensive here due to the costs of doing business are higher
Yes of course Singapore is expensive jn business costs things triple in price.
It is a reflection of how expensive singapore is vs else where.

If factory has to spend about 1 million or $1,000,000 SGD for 10 pieces of paper call 'entitlement ' just to get the bread delivered to us ultimately we consumers have to pay and absorb the business costs what!

But bread prices js hard to fathom as the same Gardenia factory makes the bread for both Malaysia and Singapore.
Is it transport costs? That also does mot make sense as the bread travels from Johor factory to KL is much further than jn Singapore.
Once it hits the Sneg Siong or NTUC shelves the price more than triples.

In Malaysia........just RM$3

Gardenia not nice for a long time liao...................all their breads not nice liao.................texture weird and hard...........
now i only buy wholemeal bread from Fairprice............the big one is softer than the small loaf............$2.25 i think.........
