SINGAPORE: Netizens are questioning a recent advertisement of the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), after it seemed to imply that consumers can choose how much they spend on particular items.

CASE, a non-profit, non-governmental organisation with a commitment to the well-being of consumers, published an ad with the slogan: “The choice is yours.” The advertisement featured two different kinds of fish and chips platters, one costing $5 and the other costing $15.
