don't support local just because they are local, support them because they are innovative, good quality and reasonably priced. I am an ex pat and never consciously went out of my way to buy local but as I type this comment I realise I am sitting on a royale ergonomics chair, looking at 2 prism monitors, powered by an aftershock PC, razer wireless mouse all on top of an ergoedge desk.
Agreed! Super big fan of their tea! It seems very expensive on the shelf. but i always use one sachet to brew a big pot heehee ^•^ liddat cheaper than buying teh c beng bwahaha
The Buy American Act passed in 1933 by Congress and signed by President Hoover, required the United States government to prefer U.S.-made products in its purchases.
Oh other than razer, i always thought aftershock is just a PC assembly company. I mean none of their products are locally made except some of their casings?
Depends, I would normally do some research/consultation with friends before deciding to go for local products so as to find out if that company practice discriminatory hiring/promotion against local citizens, because as a young nation there are just too many pro-foreigner businesses in Singapore that bully local employees, I heard even that reputable Shensiong favour hiring Mmasians over locals
does NTUC and kopitiam counts haha? for me personally im more of a merch guy, didnt care about any brand, u give me any merchs (namely t shirts with good design) from my favourite shows/games i gladly buy it.
I know jimmy choo brand from KUWTK... mostly heels??? Yes and it is luxurious.. haha and that girl says local...and i thought its frm america but frm MALAYSIA....!!???? OMG
things make in spore should have a "Make in SG" icon.. something like those things that are make in US, where there is a icon on the package. that would bring out make in spore more.. just a small text print is not enough.
Mothership asked stupid question to trick Singaporeans. Local brands are not made in Singapore, why you must support them just because the owners nationality are Singaporean? Secret Lab and Razer so called local brand but all made from overseas. Do you consider Haidilao and Shopee as local brand because their founders are neutralized?
Made in Singapore items, apart from food are too higher due to labour costs. It makes it hard for Singaporeans to buy it if it costs too much e.g. certain SG fashion brands which not up to quality and overpriced
Your narrow minded show that if more people like you the country is gone. Local brand means is created by local. Apple also have factory in China so they are not us company?
@@limlisa your narrow brain cannot digest what i said so i have to speak to you like i speak to a chihuahua, my point is what is the PURPOSE of supporting local brands if their products just made from overseas? And Apple dont have factories, they engaged third party to make their products only.
Cheap and good. If average quality, at least must cheap. So local is impossible even if u want to. I get my clothes from shopee/tb. 10 or less for top(with prints i like) and 15 or less for bottom. Tell me where in sg can get this price anymore? But the gahmen just have to fk the poor by charging gst for online shopping.

If the price is reasonable, quality is acceptable, yes can support. If price is too ex, paste what sticker say what support is also useless.

well thats a correct mindset to grow the countries gdp
love local
whatever you just said is contradictory. Prism is trash, aftershock is trash, royale is trash, razer is trash other than their mice.

Definitely support local. Even more so after living overseas. I definitely tend to buy made in sg than others made elsewhere
Thank you for sharing... I love tiger balm, tiger soya sauce and bee cheng hiang bak Kwa...
Singapore Gryphon Tea is dope! Tea lovers can support them!
Agreed! Super big fan of their tea! It seems very expensive on the shelf. but i always use one sachet to brew a big pot heehee ^•^ liddat cheaper than buying teh c beng bwahaha
Another good local tea brand would be An-TEa Social tea!
@@Gehslol HAHA THAT IS SMART!! I agree 1 packet is pretty ex but the quality is amazing ^•^
Everyone's fav reporter
The Buy American Act passed in 1933 by Congress and signed by President Hoover, required the United States government to prefer U.S.-made products in its purchases.
If there is the logo I would definitely be more inclined and actually take a look at the product !
The blue gay guy knows his local brands well 💙
Razer and aftershock are local computer makers
Oh other than razer, i always thought aftershock is just a PC assembly company. I mean none of their products are locally made except some of their casings?
local brand = outsourced overseas and slapped with lion logo with huge profit margin markup. Support all brands, not just local.
Rather support the smaller brands that aren't exporting production, if not its as good as supporting an international one.
Depends, I would normally do some research/consultation with friends before deciding to go for local products so as to find out if that company practice discriminatory hiring/promotion against local citizens, because as a young nation there are just too many pro-foreigner businesses in Singapore that bully local employees, I heard even that reputable Shensiong favour hiring Mmasians over locals
the part where whose jimmy choo LOL.
1:50. It kinda of make sense, since they kinda support local brand (0:29)
Yes!!!! When I buy online, I choose Singapore!
someone give the the @ of the cute blue top xmm 😍
if your product is shit, but local, no one should be entitled to buy it. if it is good and local, people will buy it.
does NTUC and kopitiam counts haha? for me personally im more of a merch guy, didnt care about any brand, u give me any merchs (namely t shirts with good design) from my favourite shows/games i gladly buy it.
oh he recovered from covid
why asking the filipino in the blue top to support local. LMAO
aftershock local?
Yes. But also not cheap. Think Armageddon also local. But cheaper.
No. Pricy and the items are not even half as good as those overseas ones with one third of the price.
I know jimmy choo brand from KUWTK... mostly heels??? Yes and it is luxurious.. haha and that girl says local...and i thought its frm america but frm MALAYSIA....!!???? OMG
Jimmy Choo is founded by Dato Jimmy Choo who was born in Penang.
The founder Jimmy Choo may be Malaysian but I don't think it's considered a Malaysian brand. HQ is in UK.
support local =/= support brands that purchase OEM and slap their logo on them
No I support foreign companies
