NTUC lowers house brand prices
-
SINGAPORE: NTUC FairPrice is giving a flat five per cent discount for 500 house brand items for the next three months, in a move to ease the pressure of rising food prices.
Customers who hold the Plus!Visa or NTUC Plus! Card would receive a further 10 per cent discount on house brand items.
These are expected to cost FairPrice S$2.3 million over this period.
Its CEO Seah Kian Peng said FairPrice would monitor inflation before deciding if the scheme would be extended.
The initiative comes under the supermarket cooperative Stretch-Your-dollar programme which was introduced between 2007 and 2009 amid the economic downturn.

Actually I think NTUC forgot their role
Their role is to regulate the price, so that people don't profiteer but not as the so-called cheapest priced supermarket that they go around putting the squeeze on the suppliers
