Singapore retail sales collapse: 9.6% year-on-year contraction




A recent publication of Singstat shows Singapore retail declined at among one of the worst rate in history, at a drop of 9.6% year to year.

In particular, there is a 34.7% drop in food and beverages sales.

Going forward, PAP policy of low wage and milking people dry has run her course. People has no monies, business cannot make monies. Even if we further open the FT flood gate, so long wages sucks, retail is not going to get anywhere better.

Nevertheless, to bail out retailer, there is one more silver bullet. PAP can increase scandalous public service pay ever stratopherically, bankrupting Singapore, as we are already running operational deficit, which is salvage by transfer from our investment returns.

The low wage FT earns little and sends his money home. The high wage FT goes overseas to shop as he knows where to buy good value items - Paris and Milan for high fashion, Bangkok and Bali for short getaways. The Singaporeans has most of his money spend on mortgahe, education and CPF. No one spends much on retail in Singapore
