面对消费市场的转变，加之冠病疫情加剧经济挑战，有162年历史的本地老牌百货公司罗敏申（Robinsons）在今日宣布，将关闭本地最后两家店面。 人力部长杨莉明，在受询及罗敏申清盘一事时表达惋惜，但她也指此事对于本地企业来说是”强烈信息“，若要生存就得不断转型迎合消费者需求，应跟上时代的步伐。 他提及现金许多年轻人都已习惯网购，市场不会一成不变。尽管罗敏申也是国人成长时期的一部分，也占有新加坡面貌的一席之地，但她相信国人也会感觉这是“一个时代的结束。” 他指出，市场环境不会一成不变，例如冠病疫情就加速了这转型。 罗敏申高级总经理林宝明在文告中坦言，“我们对今日的决定感遗憾。但尽管整体行业面临挑战，罗敏申团队仍持续追求品牌成功。”然而，消费市场的转变，以及冠病疫情都加剧了该公司的形势。 除了新加坡的两间店面，罗敏申在马国的门市也宣布清盘。 罗敏申成立于1858年，算是本埠第一家百货公司，抵住了二战期间日军的空袭。但162年历史走到今天，亦不敌疫情下的萧条。
