Discounts at local attractions

SINGAPORE attractions like The Flyer, the Zoo, museums and the Science Centre should offer more discounts and lower ticket prices to help boost consumer spending, said MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC Baey Yam Keng on Tuesday.

He also urged hawkers to cut their prices and retailers to hold sales to move their inventory more quickly.

Speaking during the debate on the Budget Statement, Mr Baey said it was important to stimulate the domestic economy.
