@thefactsnow0: Everyone talks about how great Singapore is. The headlines celebrate growth, luxury, and success. But on the ground, many businesses are struggling, Boat Quay is quiet, Clarke Quay is quiet, and living costs continue to rise. Singapore is an amazing place if you’re in the top 5% of earners. For many ordinary people and small business owners, however, the reality feels very different. The gap between the success story and daily life is becoming harder to ignore.

What r u talking about? Boat Quay has long been losing business to other locations. With financial center moving to Marina Bay, the high spenders move too! 🤣

Nothing wrong. in business, some grow and some close. What's the big deal. It's normal. If you are a business person, you will understand this. Unless you are not, then, this to you was strange.

Cost of living lah and taxi is not able to get and even get also 50$ min what to do who will go there then. Also people changed their mind set instead of wasting money and time better save and travel near by countries and spend decent and enjoy haha. Everyone knows can’t blame its trending also travel to SG is really useful and what manner they have to think from travelers perspective and high cost and less enjoyment so how lah
