Your Neighbour Shop

My sister has an old Levi's t-shirt that reads "Support your local merchant. He is your neighbour."

Not an easy sentiment to follow these days when hypermarkets are all over and they sell products at lower price in a more comfortable air conditioned place. All the local grocer can hope for are people coming to them because they are near, and because the customers only have a few items to buy.

A local magazine shop which I visit regularly for my magazines.

Still, there are many small business owner we can choose to support. The food hawker in your favourite kopitiam, the local bookstore (newspaper's and magazine's price are fixed anyway) and maybe even those old electrical shop that does repair too.
