If you think $5 is cheap for durians, think again.
Some Singaporeans were enraged after paying $5 for 2 durians at an event endorsed by Teo Ser Luck at Sengkang Community Club. Besides having to queue for a long time, they had to put up with an "unexpected" shortage of durians and even rotten durians.
Halfway through the event, the organisers realised that they did not have enough durians to distribute. Worst still, the durians were as small as our palms: "We were given tiny/sourish durians and not allowed to exchange. With ill-treatment from a gang of volunteers who threw things onto the ground and made us pick up durians without stem w bare hands. What's the compensation for such humiliation for supporting community events?"
After the event, netizens flocked online to complain about the dismal durians and bad management. Until now, Teo Ser Luck has not responded.
Sengkang Community Club has stepped up to refund the cost of the tickets so people can claim free durians from the same vendor. But do you think this a good solution? Who's to blame for the bad planning and management? Will people be appeased with more palm-sized rotten durians? Why organise an event for the sake of it if they can't even do it properly?
