Geo-tagging on Price Kaki allows consumers to make better purchasing decisions.\"\nMinister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling, who was also at the facility, said that as at Thursday, the Committee Against Profiteering (CAP) had received about 100 feedback submissions.\n\n\n\n\nAround 70 per cent of them were about food and beverage establishments, 15 per cent about non-cooked food items and 15 per cent on miscellaneous issues. Only five cases were specific allegations about GST misrepresentation.\n\n\"Especially for this handful of cases, we followed up very swiftly... working with People's Association partners, Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) and Case,\" she said.\n\"The businesses shared that they had adjusted prices due to an increase in raw materials. They commit that, moving forward, they will be transparent with regard to pricing and be clear with the customer.\"\nMs Low added that all complaints were one-off cases and the Ministry of Trade and Industry works closely with CCCS to ensure no anti-competitive behaviour.\n\n\n\n\"What we want is to make sure there really is free market competition and consumers are given choices,\" she added.\nSheng Siong also announced that from July 5 to Dec 31 this year, it will give a 4 per cent discount at its outlets to Merdeka Generation seniors on Tuesdays and to Singapore residents aged 60 and above on Wednesdays. The discount is an increase from the 3 per cent in effect currently.\nThe discount is capped at $8 and within a spending limit of $200 per receipt. It does not apply to infant milk powder, cigarettes, alcohol, phone cards and Sheng Siong shopping vouchers.\nFamily members of the senior citizens will also enjoy the discount if they present their seniors' proof of identity, including NRIC, Pioneer Generation or Merdeka Generation cards.\nSheng Siong expects the discount to help seniors save more than $4 million this year. It says it has helped this group save more than $12 million since the discount schemes began in 2015.\nChief executive officer Lim Hock Chee explained how the supermarket chain has managed to maintain prices despite rising inflation.\n\"We use digitalisation, such as automatic procurement and electronic invoicing, to reduce labour costs,\" he said in Mandarin, adding that self-checkout kiosks, recently installed in two outlets, will also reduce manpower.\nThe chain sources goods from different places to ensure reasonable prices, he said.\nWith Indonesia now allowed to supply chicken to Singapore, Sheng Siong will consider its cost advantage against that of current sources Brazil and Denmark, said Mr Lim.\n\"The prices of chicken imported from Europe are competitive because they have high-tech farming methods, so importing chicken from Indonesia might not be cheaper,\" he explained.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9905939341,"gmtCreate":1659791993985,"gmtModify":1703766568409,"author":{"id":"4112410321254552","authorId":"4112410321254552","name":"blessed_1","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/71622697830d9517eb67a61917d8a95f","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9905939341","repostId":2248816964,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2248816964"}
