Is Sheng Siong's upcoming Orchard Road outlet at The Cathay a shift from its 'core identity' of serving heartland communities?
SINGAPORE: Sheng Siong's first outlet in the Orchard Road area is slated to open by the end of August; however, while many netizens said the move was a 'good strategy' from the supermarket chain, others questioned if it's a shift away from its 'core identity' of serving heartland communities. Sheng Siong operates in 82 locations across Singapore and has built a reputation as a popular heartland supermarket chain. Its new 6,500 sq ft outlet will be located at The Cathay mall's basement 1 in Dhoby Ghaut, which reopened in March after major renovations began in August 2023. Mothership reported—citing a spokesperson who spoke to Shin Min Daily News —that the supermarket chain previously had a store at the former Tekka Mall, now Tekka Place. After its closure, many long-time customers called for the brand to return to the downtown area. 'This time, we are opening at The Cathay, as there is a vacant shop space available at a reasonable rental price,' the spokesperson said. He added that the mall is surrounded by residential blocks, which presents an opportunity to serve nearby residents with their daily grocery needs. Currently, the area's nearest supermarket is a CS Fresh outlet at Plaza Singapura. See also Sheng Siong donates S$200,000 to Gaza for humanitarian aid However, the move drew mixed reactions from the supermarket chain's patrons, with one stating, 'Not going to knock Sheng Siong for wanting to try something new, but imo [in my opinion] this is a departure from their core identity.' 'I've always known them as the ulu supermarket, the one that actually goes very deep into the heartlands to serve residents,' he said, sharing that while walking through a residential area in Woodlands, with almost nothing around except a funeral home, 'lo and behold, there was a Sheng Siong.' 'Their decision to set up at Orchard appears to be to serve the residential properties nearby, but frankly, I think that bunch are more of a FairPrice Finest crowd rather than a Sheng Siong one,' he added. Others were more supportive and praised the supermarket's 'good strategy.' One commenter pointed out that many migrant workers gather around Selegie Road and Dhoby Ghaut on Sundays, and if Sheng Siong offers lower prices than shops in Little India, business would be strong. 'A lot of the residents staying at Sophia Road, Adis Road, and Mount Sophia are 'shiok.' They just need to go down from level 6 to the basement at The Cathay, instead of previously having to go to Cathay level 1 and then walk to either Plaza Sing or Parklane Mall. Most residents staying in this area are PRC students studying at Kaplan nearby, and they'll likely be too lazy to walk to Parklane Mall due to work being done at One Sophia,' he added. Another noted it would also 'pull in the low-budget tourist crowd.' Meanwhile, another remarked, 'Why can't people have access to both? Supermarket shopping is such a commonplace activity that many people visit multiple supermarkets, often for access to different things.' /TISG Read also: Sheng Siong CEO Lim Hock Chee's FY2024 pay rises 20.6% to S$7.06M on bigger bonus

New Zealand plans to scrap card payment surcharges
Find out what's new on ST website and app. The proposed ban will not include online payments or transactions made using foreign-issued cards, prepaid, travel and gift cards. WELLINGTON - The New Zealand government on July 28 proposed to ban surcharges on most payments in stores made using debit and credit cards from May next year, a move which it said could save roughly NZ$150 million (S$115 million) for Kiwi consumers. The plan follows the decision in 2024 by New Zealand's Commerce Commission to lower fees that local businesses pay to accept Visa and Mastercard payments. 'We are scrapping surcharges at the till. New Zealanders are paying up to NZ$150 million in surcharges every year. That's money that could be saved or spent elsewhere,' Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said. 'You no longer will be penalised for your choice of payment method, whether that's tapping, swiping, or using your phone's digital wallet,' he told reporters. Visa and Mastercard did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment. The proposed ban will not include online payments or transactions made using foreign-issued cards, prepaid, travel and gift cards. New Zealand's Commerce Commission estimates that consumers pay about NZ$150 million in surcharges annually, including up to NZ$65 million in excessive surcharges. Top stories Swipe. Select.

In some cases, the retailer doesn't even make it clear what the percentage is,' Commerce Minister Scott Simpson said in a statement. The government plans to introduce the Bill to ban most card surcharges by the end of 2025. Shops in New Zealand typically charge consumers around 0.7 per cent for debit card payments and up to 2 per cent for credit card payments, according to New Zealand's Commerce Commission. Australia's central bank in July proposed to scrap surcharges on most debit and credit card payments for consumers, saying it no longer achieved the intended purpose of steering consumers to make more efficient payment choices.

New Zealand filled jobs decline adds to signs of soft GDP growth
[WELLINGTON] New Zealand filled jobs are down to levels last seen in early 2023 as global uncertainty makes employers cautious about hiring. The number of filled jobs rose 0.1 per cent to 2.35 million in May from a revised 2.34 million in April, which was the lowest reading since January 2023, Statistics New Zealand said on Monday (Jun 30) in Wellington. The May result was the second-lowest over that 28-month period. The data follows indicators of a manufacturing contraction and declining consumer spending that have led economists to project sluggish economic growth in the three months to June. Economists expect the jobless rate to move higher in the second and third quarters as US President Donald Trump's unpredictable trade policies erode business confidence. 'We expect hiring to remain anaemic over much of 2025, with firms likely to remain gun shy on expansion plans,' said Mark Smith, senior economist at ASB Bank in Auckland. 'The global environment remains extremely uncertain and fickle.' Hiring tends to lag the economic cycle, so some of the downtrend in filled jobs will reflect New Zealand's sharp recession last year. But the failure of employers to respond even as the economy grew 0.8 per cent in the three months to March suggests weaker momentum in the labour market, said Smith. Most economists expect slower growth in gross domestic product in the second quarter, with ASB tipping a 0.3 per cent expansion. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) Kiwi-GDP nowcast currently projects just 0.1 per cent growth.

Sign Up Sign Up Finance Minister Nicola Willis last week said there has been evidence that tariff uncertainty and Middle East turmoil have knocked domestic business confidence and investment, 'and these global events mean it will be very challenging to sustain the previous level of growth'. Weaker demand and less pressure on wages adds to signs of further interest-rate cuts, although several economists expect the RBNZ will leave the Official Cash Rate unchanged at 3.25 per cent at its next decision on Jul 9. Investors are betting on a 25 basis-point cut in August, but there is a less than 40 per cent chance of any further reductions this year, swaps data show. Business confidence lifted in June after dropping to a 10-month low in May but there is underlying caution across industries, ANZ Bank said on Monday. 'Dark clouds globally are impeding risk-taking, though we did see the rebound in many forward-looking activity indicators,' chief New Zealand economist Sharon Zollner said. 'But in terms of what firms are actually experiencing, there's been a bit of a slump recently in both activity and employment.' BLOOMBERG
