GMS is concerned that the CNY Bazaar ended early.
This barren field was the location of a big Bazaar just outside Tampines Century Square, near Tampines MRT station.
I guess it's supposed meant to be a CNY Bazaar in Tampines Central. However, it didn't last that long!
The Bazaar end on 28 Jan 2024. This is two weeks before CNY. It's very strange that the supposedly CNY Bazaar has just ended so early.
I came to know about this CNY Bazaar in Tampines Central on 29 Dec 2023 when I did a recce at Century Square. There were many empty stalls not taken up.
There wasn't much crowd, even the F&B section was pretty quiet. I guess the rental wasn't that cheap and most tenants would have lost money in this bazaar.
I believe more Singaporeans have decided to do their CNY shopping across the causeway instead.
If it wasn't for my ardent supporters who came down to my Good Tea Alliance booth at Tampines Century Square, I guess I would have lost quite a large sum of money as well!
High rental, high cost of doing business, high inflationary pressure with a weakened economy with great uncertainties are affecting small businesses drastically.
We will most probably see more retrenchment coming right after CNY.
