Kopitiam increases the rental of their stalls,what the...

It was reported in the papers last week, that tenants in dempsey road had their rentals hiked by 150%.
These tenants actually tendered 210K for the entire lot, but some corporation tendered $375K and outbidded them.
The corporation then offered the very same plot to them at twice the current rentals. 9 of the tenants quit. I felt all of them should quit then to be subjected to such blackmail.
The corporation had added no value to the properties there and all they had was money to outbid the tenants collectively and make money from being a "sub-landlord" by leasing them to existing tenants.
The losers will be consumers who have to pay higher for their wants due to the rental increases.
You guys so funny. What power of the internet? Boycott kopitiam?
If you go to Raffles City Food court during lunch time, you will see the crowd and how much is the kopi? $1.60 per cup? Pple will still buy lah. You see Food Republic so farking crowded despite the ridiculous prices.

While I only know that while Republicans have accused Democrats of increasing taxes on small businesses when they have no proof to state so in the Obama budget, I think the PAP is actually guilty of saying one thing and doing the exact opposite.
If especially Kopitiam is owned by a government corporation. Even if its a private/publicly-listed company, any tax cut granted to the company, should by law, be reflected in any cost-cutting measures so as to keep more self-employed people in employment.
I'd rather have hawkers still doing business, than closing shop and being unemployed and unable to find one for more than a year. That's when the State has to pay even more- costly also- in Workfare, if people are unemployed and cannot get enough money from the recent Budget.
Higher business costs due to taxes and other sources, and more unemployment as a result of business closures only make the economical recession worse, because of the rise in unemployment, and hence drop in productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and morale. This is not what an environment that the government, its civil servants and its corporations should foster. It should be doing the opposite and stem the tide of retrenchment, droppage in wage levels, and on unproductivity. But these hypocritical actions will only make the recession deeper and delay and make any eventual recovery even tougher.
There are few hawkers in Kopitiam, mostly employed foreigners on work permit.
I sometimes wonder who and where the original cooks are.
KOPITIAM....had a recent bad encounter with the food court @......, while eating with a friend. The nasi padang stall my friend, S$7.00 for a plate of nasi bryani rice, one very skinny chicken drumstick, some smattering of squid; and one piece of tomato sauce fried chicken sausage. I took that plate for him, and complained to the stall, for over-charging.
At another KOPITIAM @....somewhere else, I ordered a plate of duck meat rice, the rice was old tasting ( recycled from the day before), few silvers of duck, cost me $4.00, and I ordered a bowl of sumpling soup; the dumplings were half-cooked.
Swear I will try at my very best, not to eat at KOPITIAM.
We are really over-charged for our meals these days, and the quality of the cooking & the food is really bad. Especially, they employ PRC's to cook, local dishes; the taste is not the same.
Why, when they are 4,500 people in the line for 3,000 job vacancies ( believe them), we have People's Republic of China workers, all over Singapore?
Go to wet market, and cook it yourself.
Don't eat at those stall that increase the price.
boycott those that rude and expensive.
boycott those that not hiring Singaporean.
If some of you, or most of you can do that.
Then Singapore got HOPE !
else don't even NATO (No Action, Talk Only) attitude here

I'm sure there will be a number of unemployed S'poreans who are willing to cook fishball noodles for money. In the end I think, however, these bosses don't have a choice because of high business costs. If the rental and supplies cost a lot already, then wages will be the ones they will target to lower costs.
And as such, many will hire foreigners, not locals.
An NS buddy of mine used to helm a noodle stall in a foodcourt..... he was paid 2.2K to run the stall with 2 ah beng helpers...... then the boss replaced the 2 helpers with ah tiongs....... after learning from my buddy the boss promoted one ah tiong to be the supervisor of the stall and ask my buddy to take pay cut to 1.8K and assist the ah tiong supervisor....... after a few months the ah tiong supervisor complain to boss how come my buddy getting 1.8K while he only get 1K as the supervisor....... the boss then asked my buddy to take the same pay as the ah tiong supervisor....... my buddy quit and the stall is now entirely staffed by PRCs...... and the food there now tastes like yuck !
No need to name the foodcourt as I believe readers here smart enough to know which foodcourt I referring to....... I have never patronised them again since my buddy left and I still see ALL the stalls there are staffed by PRCs whenever I pass by
