Lala81 Hypersonic May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 I seldom go into JB, but I happen to go to AEON and Ikea recently. I find their prices similar with SG prices. Are they really cheaper? Why do so many Sporeans go in to buy groceries when prices is quite similar even after the exchange rate? Even the restaurant food or fast food prices are quite similar. And I am thinking that if the grocery prices are quite similar to SG prices, how on earth can the Msians afford it since their pay is way lower than Sporeans? (and this is why many Msians come to SG to work) Or am I missing something? Or is there some food or grocery that is really cheaper? I don't consciously hunt for any item that is cheaper. Neither do i buy the actual groceries. haha takes too much effort to know what items r cheaper. But i usually buy stuff like toothpaste especially children's and things like nivea sunscreen for the kids. Those r usually cheaper than sg. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phluvcat 6th Gear May 22, 2019 Share May 22, 2019 rather small compared to TebrauActually I dun quite fancy shopping mall food. I aim for shop house food which I feel much nicer and traditional feel... something which is vanishing at rapid rate in Singapore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion Turbocharged June 9, 2019 Share June 9, 2019 i think it's a global trend too many malls built, stiff competition from online and delivery... end up many malls become ghost towns it's not only happening in Singapore and Malaysia, but US and China too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old-driver 5th Gear August 21, 2019 Share August 21, 2019 It's pure madness. Every mall is chasing for footfall. Clearly more square ft of mall space than people. Those malls that are stand-alone, with no infrastructure or amenities nearby will not be able to sustain. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
