I was checking out the listings / directory websites.
STrangely, it seems that Singapore Expat and a couple of them needs to pay to get on the listings.
Someone's got to pay for these services but surely, it cannot just be the people selling things?
That simply means that the list of available shops to buy things from, restaurants to eat at -- is limited to those who have budget to 'list' (more like advertisting).
IT should be clear that the list contains people who pay to be listed. Therefore not based on quality of what they are selling.
I am an die-hard for "information should be free". So these listing people should really not make people pay for listings and find another revenue model.
