Their book collection is increasing, and so does their live plants, and so does their other stuff.
Not sure if they still do, but, sometime ago, Mustafa was also selling Motor Cars, like in those with 4 wheels and engine and able to carry passengers ..

Reminds me of the old saying about "The rich eat hamburgers, the wannabes eat steak. That's why the rich are rich and the wannabe's are still wannabes"

SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TURN BACK THEIR ODOMETERS. NOT ME. I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHY I LOOK THIS WAY. I'VE TRAVELED A LONG WAY, AND SOME OF THE ROADS WEREN'T PAVED. ~ Will Rogers

Carrefour has left Singapore since 2012.

Dredging up this 4 year old post with absolute nonsense - must be desperate to increase the post count.
To update this topic, one can take the red line up to Dhoby Ghaut and go to the NTUC Fairprice that took over the Carrefour location at Singapura Plaza, or now that the Downtown line is running, one could walk from Raffles Place to the Downtown station and go 2 stops up to Chinatown, where there's another NTUC Fairprice.

Any other options besides NTUC and redmart? These 2 are a real flop without delivery slots and out of stock items.
