yup, it is co-op. the publicity tool thing, i will need your help to enlighten me what that means.
Dissolving the structure ah... also can, but i am sure sheng shiong will be happy to take over, issue with the convenience store closing down will persist.

Below standard product? it's all the same branded item goods. Just to remind you, SS started as a provision shop at AMK
SS service is really outstanding
So good that the manager in charge

I posted just now, from our PM"Buy housebrand. Rice is rice, bread is bread"
Where did he made that remark? At NTUC Fairprice's launch of bigger housebrand good range SKUs.
No. I'm not talking abt only SS take over. Anyone interested can take
-
hmmmm since the PM says it, it should be political somehow... from that message, i think it promotes.... buying cheaper stuff, if the quality about the same?
So the solution for this will be... don't invite politicians to NTUC functions.
-
ironically, NTUC's housebrand goods are in fact more costly than branded items you find at provision shop.
yet CASE never go harp on it. only go harp on private biz goods
-
Actually our government quite smart.
A government owned union starting a co-operative and now doing a profitable supermarket chain business.
Its the only government that owns the union and supermarkets! LOL...
Lets take a look at companies that are government linked.
Temasek Holdings, GIC, Fair Price Supermarket, Cheers, SMRT, DBS Bank, Mediacorp and many more? Can you name it? -

CASE reacts to complains... so if someone find the price of NTUC stuff unreasonable or unfair, and complains to CASE, than investigation starts...and CASE will start to build a case against NTUC.
well, if the price is unfair, calling itself fairprice is very ironic.

in e first place, would they go turn NTUC Fairprice's pricing?Actually NTUC FP is in a sense killing themselves also. Now I rmbr nearby Joo Chiat Complex has 1 big outlet also

who turn NTUC Fairprice's pricing? what you mean? if you are talking about complains against NTUC, there are alot of people visiting there, so i think there shouldn't be a shortage of people who will complain if they think there is a problem with it. If you are saying that CASE won't go after NTUC, i will have to say that in singapore, the culture against corruption is very strong... even got police man go after each other if suspected case of corruption... not sure how ntuc is killing themselves, so ok....

wat I mean is would CASE honestly go kachow NTUC?no doubt we're anti-corruption. but there's no opposition to keep price of goods on real checks and balance. honestly there's no compeition here, only CASE

capitalism is voting with your dollars. Go do business with the company you support. unfair priced shops will never last long.

over here, rental is killing. So much for higher property price is good.anyway over here lots of domestic retail is controlled by them
notice NTUC Fairprice has lots of PRC workers these days as well.

rental is high. noted. NTUC hire PRC, noted.
Not very sure what your point is.
The CASE issue you brought up got me thinking. should CASE go after seven eleven? the stuff they sell is much more expensive. what are the criteria to initiate a CASE case?

7-11 is doing 24 hrs business. Furthermore they're providing services ppl aren't providing like Big gulp these and tat. Surely marking up items more ex somewat is reasonableBut to say NTUC housebrand items are ex than branded items and yet CASE recently kpkb abt branded items price increase or sort, something isn't right. Why only checking branded item prices? something is bias

If NTUC provide services ppl aren't providing like more variety of food, air-conditioning, will it justify their price?
so which pricing should be the standard? is NTUC charging too high, or the other stores like sheng siong charging too low? how should CASE approach this issue, like force NTUC to follow the pricing of other stores?
Personally, i think CASE goes after over price branded goods for two reasons. Obvious overpricing, and imitation branded goods. This kind is like bao jiat cases, can go in direct. NTUC case, hard to justify lei...

never mind, since you are so easily confuse, i will ask again.
How should govt ask NTUC to operate. REMEMBER if you can't answer, you don't need to. Not answering doesn't mean you are stupid. There is no penalty for ignoring me
If you answer correctly, you will earn my respect as a knowledgeable person. You won't win any grand price.
If you choose to call me ANTI-PEOPLE or what ever because i ask question, well, i will let others judge your character.
Let me answer your question. In the first place, Why should the government tell NTUC how to operate? Is there a need for them to do so? Does NTUC not has its own operational policy ? Is the purpose of a Cooperative not clear enough?

Fair Price shouldnt be hiring PRC workers.
It is owned by NTUC, which is a union federation, which should be protecting Singaporean workers.
If they hire PRC workers, it reflects badly on the government and unions in Singapore.
I hope they don't! =X -

come onlots of supermarket and chap huey tiam are also airconditioned. So why ppl's goods same brand can still be selling cheaper? it's all to do w/ margins.
As for pricing, in the first place let competition balance everyone's margin. In e first place, CASE's report scope is very limited.
As for NTUC Fairprice, you'll be surprised of their esp housebrand item's margin. Other ppl can forget abt thinking of 20% profit margin. wa liao eh, afaik branded cooking oil other than palm oil margin is like 5 - 9% only

thanks, so basically NTUC should operate to maximise profits, like a normal corporation, without instructions from govt.
