Yah Lah But #631 - Shanmugam’s MPS Stand-Off with Activists & Can Unit Pricing Combat Shrinkflation?
A video of Minister K. Shanmugam verbally clashing with activists at a Meet-the-People Session last week has gone viral, with the activists in question drawing widespread condemnation for their provocative actions. The activists revealed their side of the story over the weekend, and alleged that they were unfairly portrayed by the Minister’s team and mainstream media. Who’s winning this war of words? Meanwhile, supermarkets in Singapore are finally rolling out unit pricing, making grocery shopping more transparent for consumers. But will it actually help?
