LOL.<br />After all, the TRUE Spa is apparently managed by a son of ex chief justice. So probably know the legal system better than the man in the street.<br />Well, if you read all the advice given by the "experts" now is do not buy pre paid packages. They say pay more if you have to.<br />Monkeys see and monkeys do.<br />We will see such packages proliferate and best advice is to open our eyes wide if the government cannot do anything for such loopholes.<br />Cannot imagine this is happening in Singapore.financialraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588369716841784334.post-53122040980730110992011-09-15T10:27:02.017+08:002011-09-15T10:27:02.017+08:00I agree fr.

Having insurance for packages is just adding a new problem to an existing problem while not really solving the root at all.<br /><br />Next will be the insurer to lose money compensating all these failing companies. Then they charge higher premiums and the package price shoots up. Even higher than simple pay per use price without insurance.Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157935468710678247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5588369716841784334.post-78932842208357050602011-09-14T10:13:29.180+08:002011-09-14T10:13:29.180+08:00I think they should just ban these pre paid packag...I think they should just ban these pre paid packages. <br />Asking spas to buy insurance will just pass the cost to consumers.<br />Anyway, the authorities may perhaps believe if consumers can afford spa services, they probably can afford to pay more.<br />However, other service lines are learning to roll out serviced packages too. Many hair salons are now doing the same. If I remember correctly, a hairdresser who claimed to do hair for Nicole Kidman used the same service packages and now has defaulted on rentals. <br />Pre paid packages is one easy way to swindle customers. The authorities should not wait till some minister's wife get conned in a similar fashion before they take action. Otherwise, my barber shop will also soon offer pre paid packages. <br />I applaud CASE for standing up by writing in to forum. Let's hope it has more bite. The Chinese has a saying, kill the chicken and warn the monkey not to play tricks. If this chicken gets to run away, I am sure many monkeys are watching.financialraynoreply@blogger.com
