New measure by NEA to deter high bids for hawker stalls​

SINGAPORE - Hawkers who submit high bids for stalls from November’s tender exercise will no longer see their rents drop immediately to market rates after their three-year tenancy, as is the case now.

This is to encourage them to exercise restraint and prudence when making their bids.

The new initiative was announced on Nov 4 by the National Environment Agency (NEA) for stalls under its purview.
 
Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Koh Poh Koon said the additional information provided to tenderers has to be something that is meaningful for them to make their necessary cost calculations.

Speaking at the Singapore Hawkers’ Seminar and Awards 2024 on Nov 4, he said: “Rental may form about 10 per cent or less of their costs... The kind of dishes they offer will have impact on the kind of material costs they have to (factor) in as well.”
 
Dr Amy Khor, then-Senior Minister of State for the Environment and Water Resources, said in Parliament that the rental price of hawker stalls does not directly affect food prices.
 
Amy may Not be wrong.
it just singkie is weak and impotent.

If Jihu Kia can survive commercially with the big food court, surviving with 6k rental, costs of ingredients, utilities and costs of plate washing and clearing, salary with levy, why Singkie cannot do it in subsidized hawker stall ?
 
Don't forget about the kopitiams too, but that may or may not be under the NEA's jurisdiction.

Want to really solve the problem? Curb the inflow of Tiong dirty money. Impose a quota on the various Tiong mala and hotpot franchise restaurants.
