It just so happens that the holiday season coincides with Singapore Great Sales, in the middle and end of the year. It is these times of the year when Singapore celebrates retail therapy, and guess who are there to celebrate? Proudly and unmistakably, the Indonesians!
Yes, the tremendous prestige of shopping in Singapore has managed to uphold its celebrated image. There is a certain pride attached to the statement “I bought it in Singapore,” even though it is an established fact that the prices are considerably less offensive. Singapore independently has successfully established itself as a destination in Southeast Asia, not only for Indonesians but also for Malaysians, Thais and people from Brunei, among others. There are of course other reasons why Singapore is such a popular destination such as business, medical treatment and education, and more recently, gaming.
