Like was mention earlier by someone, even the rental is reduced, will the tenants willing to share the benefit with the consumers but one thing for sure is, when the rental goes up, the cost will pass it to the consumers, likewise we always see the price of the food goes up but never see it comes down.
One thing I'm puzzled with, can FW consider as cheap labour, if it is, why is there inflation, labour cost is cheap leh. I came across a stall, within 1 year, adjust the price twice. Isn't this is man-made inflation? If it is caused by weather that causes the shortage of food, then is acceptable but currently it doesn't seem to be the case. But looks like from Jan'14 this year, I come across, lots of the food stalls have adjusted the prices, why? Last year adjust, this year adjust again.
