As we all know,every chinese new year,prices go up due to the extra cost of goods.Some stalls absorb the price increase only for their regular customers,the instant outsiders order it's a different story altogether.
This year,everyone expected prices to revert to the original after the festive period.

Do check your bill carefully.
Ron 97 is $2.50,Ron 95 is raring to join the Up,up and away stable.
So much for "no GST" when almost every service sector gets arm twisted to contribute to the next political coffer for that ONE freako with rosy cheeks,garupa lips,triple chin and wife with the towering hair.
In Georgetown,our traders have the added stress of having to contend with arson,$500 or "don't step out of your premises"threats by a triad uprising and developer tactics.

I'll start with a few first and keep you updated when I come across more.
