Newton stall "teow" licence for 3 mths. This is karma....

I go Newton for my familiar duck rice/noodle stall only. $3.50. Newton seafood stalls are somewhere between expensive jokes and extortional pirates, especially if you're foreigners eating there at night. Order in Singlish and ask for the price first to get a fairer deal.
Maybe the stallholder can seek help from his MP at Meet-the-resident session 
i think almost all locals won't go the Newton Circus lah..the food is bloody expensive and no standard compared to others. Only FTs and tourists go there to be fleeced.
Serve them right.

Actually not every foreigners will check their bill and complain to STB.
Which means for the past many donkey years, the stall might have overcharge the customers.
We might not know how rich this stall owner are right now.
Perhaps they can withstand payment of rental (shop closed) without any issue at all.

Geylang better & cheaper place to makan, after food still can have a nice leisure stroll down the streets and enjoy the nice sceneries there!
I have to respectfully disagree with this. GL is also getting overrated and expensive. The hawkers there are also slowly jacking up their price because they know most of the time their customers are guys buying their "female companions" a meal after whatever they have done or before whatever they are going to do.
Food standard has dropped as well, the so call famous stores don't serve the quality of food like they use to.

That depends on where you are eating from, wrong lane and you will only see aunties.
No big deal to the stall-owner as he has another stall at No46.
Is overcharging so serious? What about those Chi Liao Bee Minister / MM/ SM/ President who overcharged us for years?
If Sinkies complain, I wonder if Justice is so swift and hard.
....so STB would also have to act on the Ministers?
Dirty Harry is GOd like and above the law.
Who dare to act against him?
We just have to wait for the Grim Reaper to do his job.
I share your sentiments. Most Singaporeans are really small-minded, they raise a big hoohaa over such small matters but they are willing to vote for people who overcharge them massively election after election. The common excuse is that they can't do anything about it. If only they will go after the big cons with the same gusto as the small cons...
That is why.. stay away from sinkies. It will do you good.
My few years of experience with Thai foodstalls has been quite nice. No overcharging, no bargaining needed. However, Thailand also got Thaikies, just like Singapore got Sinkies. Hail a taxi, tuk-tuk or motorbike taxi, be prepared to be able to bargain properly or to be overcharged. I was lucky to learn this "stock-in-transport" as I started out in Thailand with local Thai friends. Thai newbies and tourists, be prepared to overpay, but also be prepared to laugh it off, don't take it to heart. Either keep coming back to Thailand and learn more or stay away if you're unhappy.
Oi dun give those clueless civil servants ideas.
Wait PAPpy running dog see your post, LEEport back his masters, and they make Newton into a new upgraded REIT with $100,000 rent per stall.
