From social enterprise starting with taxpayers seed money, NTUC has become a money making vehicle.

Lately seems quiet especially treating customers like criminals

Not forgetting there was short change in the weight of fish an amdk highlighted.

Even not rushing for time also mybfd have to buy from ntuc finest for those residents. Afaik new estates not many other choices

Even if you drive also have to spend money on fuel and parking to buy from elsewhere. Also not that convenient.

Quoted in the independent

"Government mandated that larger supermarket operators with annual turnover of more than $100 million must charge at least five cents for each disposable carrier bag provided at their supermarkets."

Supermarket sho lich at $100, 000,000 turnover so gian Png but charge$0.05/plastic bag supported by govt. Let's go sarpork small mom & pop or online amazon, shopee....instead
