It seems that Singaporeans just can’t resist a bargain — even if the money is going to a good cause.
A recent pay-as-you-wish promotion by local shop Durian Kaki ended up netting less donations than expected thanks to lowballing customers, according to local media reports.
The fundraising drive on Dec 14 was held in benefit of Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home and managed to raise a total of $7,850 from the sale of 800kg of Grade A Mao Shan Wang durians.
Customers were allowed to purchase durians at any price they deemed fit.
But amidst generous customers who shelled out $600 for two durians in the spirit of charity were those who took full advantage of the deal — one even walked away with six durians for $4, Lianhe Wanbao reported.
