The man wrote that the stall charges different prices for the same order of two vegetables plus one meat on different days, “Sometimes at $3.50 or $3.70 as they like,” he said.

SINGAPORE: A man took to social media to share a recent negative experience at a cai png stall, as well as to express concern over the elderly poor who eat there. The stall in question is Rice Garden, which is under NTUC Foodfare, and offers subsidized meals for members.

In his post, Mr Tan wrote that he had already heard that the stall charges different prices for the same order of two vegetables plus one meat on different days, “Sometimes at $3.50 or $3.70 as they like… According to their sign board, 2 veg + 1 meat are $2.50 for senior with PG/MG card,” he added, writing that he decided to try it for himself.

After he chose his vegetables and meat, he showed the staff his Merdeka card, and he wrote that the exchange went this way:Me: Your sign board showed 2 veg + 1 meat=$2.50 for senior.Staff: No $3.70 unless you choose this meat. Staff: They give $3.00 then you go there to eat la. “They just want to eat a simple meal. They maybe poor but they paid for their meals. Don’t show arrogant attitude to the elderly as if they are begging for foods.”1.

2. The sign board is misleading and the elderly are con into the situation. Is the Government Advertising watchdog allows or approved misleading sign board? He noted that with higher prices of food everywhere, it’s the poor and elderly who suffer the most and that stalls should not skimp with subsidized meals, and neither should stall staff have a poor attitude toward those who avail of them.Mostly elderly are not working and they just want to eat a simple meal. They maybe poor but they paid for their meals. Don’t show arrogant attitude to the elderly as if they are begging for foods,”All hawker foods are getting more expensive.
