Why they keep doing that?

Losing memories...because of high rental, businesses have to fold.
The place where I first met my wife....
Sigh...making new memories here in Portland now...

From Monday, Hai Bin Bishan Prawn Fishing will shut its operations after six years, following a rent dispute with its landlord.
Their landlord, Nature Park, which runs Asian Golf Academy at the same location, recently notified them of the new rental figures - $65,000 monthly, up from $26,000 they were previously paying.
Hai Bin, which has two other outlets, said they could not afford the new rent and decided to shut its operations at the Bishan branch.
Hai Bin's group manager David Ng claimed that they were then asked to clear out of the premises in three days. They asked for more time and claim they were charged almost $35,000 for the 15-day extension.
Mr Ng said Hai Bin Prawning will commemorate its last day in Bishan tomorrow (Sunday, Sept 8) by inviting customers for a three-hour prawning session free of charge. From 7am to 11.59pm, each customer will get one rod to fish for prawns for a three-hour slot. They have imported 500kg of live prawns from Thailand for the occasion.
