Your kopi will cost $5 in June

Some coffee shop owners in Geylang are thinking twice about paying for the 2010 World Cup broadcast.

That's because airing the matches will cost them more than $14,000 each.

Two coffee shops along Geylang Lorong 15, Tai Say Eating House and Ming Li's Seafood Eating House, are popular with patrons as they regularly screen football matches all year around.

Both coffee shop owners pay about $1,500 a month to both SingTel and StarHub sports packages. These enable them to screen EPL and Champions League matches.

But both establishments would have to pay $14,216 if they want to show World Cup matches on all their televisions. Both coffee shops have seven televisions each.

For television sets with screen sizes under 50 inches, it costs $2,888 for the first TV set and $1,888 for each subsequent set.

It would cost $4,888 and $2,888 respectively for television sets above 50 inches in screen size. In contrast, these owners paid about $600 per TV set for the 2006 World Cup.

Other coffee shops are considering passing on the cost of airing World Cup matches to their customers by increasing the price of their drinks.

FOR RM$0.70 (S$0.30), the cost of a teh tarik in a Johor Baru coffeeshop, Jason Nah will catch the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Parking is free and the shop has massive 42-inch flat-screen television sets.

That is what you call a good deal, not the offer announced by SingTel's chief of content and media services Edward Ying, added the personal trainer, who has watched the World Cup since the 1986 Finals in Mexico.

On Friday, Ying announced that home viewers would have to pay $66 (price before GST) for the early-bird package for live telecasts of the 64 World Cup football matches.

This works out to slightly over $1 per game, or as Ying said at the press conference then - about the price of a cup of coffee.

Nah plans to watch all the matches featuring his favourite teams Spain and Ghana, as well as any big clash starting from the knock-out rounds.

The Liverpool fan has been making such trips to watch the English Premier League in Johor at least once a month for the past four years.

Geylang cofee shop owner should install own private TV antenna on the roof top. Just like any private property. Why they never think of that. Sure can get Indon signal because very near to Batam.

First world country, third world's thieves.

So much for kiasu, kiasi, kiam siap, kia chut lui.

Wow, what admirable traits to emulate.
