Facebook user Oh Junkai shared how his friend went to a shop at Sim Lim Square to buy a sim card with a value of $10 inside.
However, he was charged $48 for the $10 sim card, with the shop saying that the extra $38 was for a “service charge”.
Oh then went down with his friend to confront the shop owner for overcharging his friend, to which the man allegedly raised his voice and told him:
“Chicken rice here expensive and rent expensive I charge $38 lah!” adding that “not I force you to buy hor!”
Here is what he said on Facebook
So my Malaysian friend(who came to SG recently) got charged 48 SGD for a Sim Card that has 10 dollars in it
It means my friend was charged additionally 38 dollars for “services”
So me and my friend went down and decided to ask why was he charging 38
And he instantly raised his voice and start saying the chicken rice here expensive and rent expensive I charge 38 la. He kept saying about not I force you buy hor and kept saying I charge 38 without giving any other reason
Basically saying chicken rice expensive that’s why charge 38 extra for SIM? Bro please want do business also not like that la chicken rice more expensive at least +2 dollar la knn
So I post here to let people here know the chicken rice else where cheaper and nicer than this price hiker
Netizens comments
- That’s why best to ask around a few shops before buying as some sellers r dishonest.
- Thought SIM card got fixed price one? Unless buying those registered under other ppl names to do illegal things…
- He had the whole singapore to buy a sim card but choose to go to sim lim that have a bad reputation?
- Can make a police report on the spot ? And file a case against them in small claim court ?
