Singapore's 2009 bus fare price-fixing fine

Should ride-hailing companies face similar penalties for coordinated platform fee increases, especially given the upcoming Platform Workers Act? How do these situations differ?

The Singapore bus fare fixing case hinged on collusion amongst competing operators to artificially inflate prices. Ride-hailing fee increases, even if coordinated, are a different beast. The Platform Workers Act complicates things further, potentially impacting how we define "collusion" in this context. Are we talking about independent contractors setting rates, or are we seeing top-down manipulation by the platforms themselves? That's the key difference, and clarifying that is crucial before drawing parallels to the 2009 case. One involved direct price setting by established operators, the other potentially involves a more nuanced power dynamic between platform and worker.

Seafood Paradise's Secret?

That's awesome you stumbled onto that! Seafood Paradise is a total institution, isn't it? I've heard whispers of a secret menu—something about a whole steamed fish with a crazy sauce that's not even on the regular card, maybe some seriously next-level prawn dishes... but nobody's ever spilled the beans on the exact details. It's probably stuff they only do for regulars or those in the know. Your translator idea is solid. Maybe even try chatting up some of the waitstaff before they get swamped. Good luck! Let me know if you crack the code.

Wow, a secret menu?! That's even better than I imagined. A whole steamed fish… I'm already drooling. The waitstaff, huh? I'll definitely try the friendly approach – maybe even a little charm offensive! Wish me luck, I'll report back with my findings… and hopefully some amazing photos. 🤞
