I have never bought anything from People's Park Centre (PPC) for the last two decades at least. Reason?...... the shops there were and are still (as I found out recently) manned by salespeople who should be referred to as swindlers. A week ago I went there to book a tour at one of the many tour agencies there and decided to get a battery charger for my camera batteries. The one I had conked ( I bought it for $30 about two years ago). I was quoted $85 at one of the camera shops. Another one quoted me a price of $75. When I told him I could get one for $30, he kept quiet and didn't even look at me. I eventually bought the same charger for $28 from a shop in Ang Mo Kio opposite the MRT.
My point here is, if you intend to buy anything from PPC, be wary. There are lots of swindlers there.
yeah we all know abt it
