dork3d SG Me would want to hold a strike against the government should there's be any compromise... For your information, these people are in the government because of their capabilities in work, not because they are in NTUC... These people have dual roles, one is to look after its union members and prevent them from been exploited from employers, while ensuring the government is doing enough to address these issues to take care of these people...
mhcampboy SG i never say abt what they working as or wad... im just saying... gov will do wad it takes to make ntuc number 1 and not fall behind its competitors... pls... at the end of the day... ntuc works as a corporationn... its not a welfare agency.
dork3d SG NTUC doesn't work as a corporation... It has different entities to work as co-operatives like NTUC Income, NTUC Fairprice, NTUC Club, NTUC Childcare, NTUC Eldercare, NTUC Thift...
mhcampboy SG yaa... and all of that means... they are under one name still..NTUC. dun tell me ntuc income owns by ah seng company.... NTUC childcare owns by fatimah fashion house.... etc etc...
sbst275 SG NTUC belongs to the govt You see like the AMK Hub, w/o any tender they gave the land to them HDB, the location for supermarket all given to them as far as town ctr is concerned
dork3d SG In your opinion only, but do you really know what goes behind the scene when the bid was tendered?
sbst275 SG If that's the case, why is it every shopping ctr NTUC fails to get anything??? Back then when they were building Vivo, they approached NTUC 1st... But was talk by some was that DFI was willing to bid higher for it
ahhui90 SG just my opinion in terms of environment, ntuc is better in variety, sheng siong is better in prices, sheng siong is better in freshness, ntuc better in customer service, both is trained to service well
dork3d SG You mean shopping centres in the town or in the suburbans? If any business-minded businessman knows that the yield would be greater and more impactful than having a high cost in a shopping centre as rental, the businessman would open in a non-prime location and let the money work hard for him, rather than he work hard for the money...
sbst275 SG Does not make sense Town Ctr the turnover is higher, anyone interested would try to bid to get it... But why of all, NTUC gets everything and other ppl gets the neighbourhoods? There's more, but I'm not at the position to say abt them
dork3d SG Hmm... Then why Cold Storage Group (Cold Storage, Jason's, Shop & Save, Giant, Guardian) gets all the prime locations in shopping centres while Fairprice gets neighbourhood malls?
joker105 SG wah... the things at jason r slightly more ex than cold storage... but then again... jason is under cold storage...
stooki SG SS sells many hawker products, for hawkers to use in their cooked food ... coz i see they sell like those fishcake fishballs in bulk, big packets of kway teow n yellow noodles, de-shelled hum, ketupat... fairprice dun think can get such good deals...
stooki SG ntuc fairprice sometime got young girl, some quite chio. most work as trainee aka part time... otherwise those cashiers all auntie ah soh one
