    FYI there used to be a Saturday night Sheng Shiong show which features a lucky draw. If your shopping receipt at shengshiong gets picked up by the host, and if you’re lucky you can get to win 1000x the amount spent by the multiplier wheel (10x,10x,100x,1000x)

    He seems very sweet in that he hung up pork stone at his stores to make his customers happy. He told his architects and builders to make his house pretty, to give his neighbors something nice to look at, so that they don't hate him and curse him with complaints. He keeps an ancient tree, to reflect on getting along with his brothers harmoniously. Diplomatic and courteous.
