Actually paradise also has major labour issues. F&b margins for medium to big guys ( read 20m to 300m) turnover is from 3 to 10% max. Check out all the listco players numbers. Maybe Japan food a bit better...
The hidden culprit in sg is rental and leasing cost. Right now we are happy to talk about business owners and the need to up pay and productivity to justify wages. Who is watching commercial and retail rental rates???
Whose is the biggest landlord in SG?
Who is the biggest commercial landlord in SG?

I believe they are willing to pay more than other workers. My friend applied before, they actually said J cube restaurant fully staffed. Suggested she go Lot 1. That in itself is an achievement. The staff at City Square told me, the chef's overall laundry is taken care of by the company.
That is why I believe his margin is very thin. Comparison is Din Tai Feng.

That is true. I choose to eat at market or hawker centre. I believe if many boycott the malls, the traffic drop, the outlets will suffer and landlord will blink.
For those who prefer nice food at value prices, try JU BAO at
UNITED SQUARE Basement 1 (Novena MRT). The HK Cantonese food is excellent and offers 5 star quality at 3 star prices. Try their Buddha Jump Over The Wall (min. 2 pax, u can eat 3 or 4 pax). The shark bone soup $12 a bowl is very rich.

The answer is indeed factual and also a often repeated quote by property agents to entice foreign investors.
Doesn't matter. Political risk, once unthinkable in Singapore is now viewed differently. It will affect businesses here and likewise properties.
How we handle as a nation to mature politically, is also good for building a sustainable strong economy with compassion towards lower social class level.
The results of past elections n the turnout at Hong Lim Park shows winds of change, despite the showers during rally.
We have a choice of choosing our way of lives, our government peacefully through votes, or the unthinkable if let to simmer too long, ie 2030.
I am for peaceful means bcos the other alternative will only destroy our home and economy.

I believe they are riding on the wave of asset buying during the low interest rate era, to influence voting behaviour through vested interests. Some home owners who have a lot of physical assets based here, will vote based on the value of their hard assets, rather than based on which party they believe serve their interest best for the long term. That is why I see many condos sprouting up in different estates... And is one reason Potong Pasir was won back by Sitoh YiPin (the other reason was Chiam See Tong nominating his wife for election...
4000+ turn up at Hong Lim Park in protest of 6.9mil population. So can anybody enlighten me what has changed or what you think will change?
While some believe in practicality, through votes during the coming General Election, others believe in showing support through presence at the rally.
Remember we are what we believe in. How our country future turns out depends on what we can do so now, even feebly like attending the rally.

Now i know there are enough Singaporeans who care.
Enough of Singaporeans who are not KIASI, KIASU KIABO & KIACHENGFU. Which we are famous for.
iF PAPYS REALLY BEH KIASI THEN ALLOW THE POPULATION A REFEREMDUM ON THE WHITE PAPER. NOT JUST RUBBER STAMPING THROUGH PARLIAMENT.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
RUBBER STAMPING FOR > 50 YEARS ALREADY!
I THINK SINKAPOREANS HAVE REALLY BECOME SINGAPOREANS AT HONG LIM PARK TODAY.
MAY THE REST OF SINGAPOREANS FOLLOW SUIT
i THINK THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR SINGAPORE TO BECOME A NATION FOR TRUE BLUE SINGAPOREANS.
AND NOT FOR THE PAPYS & ASSOCIATED ELITES ONLY.
