</cite>SINGAPORE: The economic crisis might not mean lower business for everyone. <script language="javascript">if(window.yzq_d==null)window.yzq_d=new Object(); window.yzq_d['jM4FSHxseNI-']='&U=13f6og3b9%2fN%3djM4FSHxseNI-%2fC%3d725392.13307947.13434816.2013436%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d5643734%2fV%3d1'; </script><noscript>

</noscript>For the past two months, a stall at Toa Payoh had seen its business increase by more than 50 per cent. It is one of the many stalls enjoying good business at Toa Payoh Lorong 7. The stall sold a plate of rice with meat, fish and vegetables for S$2.20. But its stall owner said this price was the lowest it could go. Many of its customers were from the low income group. And thanks to the cooked food stall, the drinks stall nearby is also enjoying better business.
