NEA reviewing not-for-profit hawker centres

[chittychitty]

The National Environment Agency (NEA) will do a "stock take" of the not-for-profit hawker centre model, which allows social enterprises and cooperatives to run these centres, said Senior Minister of State for the Environment and Water Resources Amy Khor.

The NEA has also been asked to quickly iron out problems related to cost and contractual terms used by these operators, she wrote in a Facebook post yesterday.

Dr Khor said the NEA is already reviewing the contractual agreements with a view to prescribing some of the terms used by operators in these contracts.

Her comments came in the wake of complaints from hawkers at these not-for-profit centres about high rents and being saddled with additional fees for services such as tray returns.

"We hear the concerns raised... NEA will not hesitate to take operators to task if they are found to be errant," said Dr Khor, who is also Senior Minister of State for Health.

If NEA wants to make a huge profit out of rental Hawkers than Peasants will die standing!!

In fact, NEA objective is to help hawkers with lower rent and they can charge

lower prices to their customers! If PAP strategy makes a huge profit than peasants must wake up

especially that 69.0 % we really found a bloodsucker in the closets that we must get rid of!

Sengkang is one good example PAP don't want to build Hawker Centre so this bloodsucker consortium

Food Cock can charge exorbitant prices one of them is Rivervale Mall, after renovation fcuking price now all UP!!

24小时营业的淡滨尼天地小贩中心惹议，凌晨3时整个小贩中心约20摊营业，却只有4名顾客，摊贩申述根本没生意却为免遭罚款而得牺牲睡眠开档。

淡滨尼天地小贩中心2016年11月开始营业，由咖啡店投资（Kopitiam Investment）的子公司OTMH公司负责管理，以社会企业模式经营。

据《海峡时报星期刊》报道，记者在上周五（10月15日）走访时，当天凌晨12时30分时仍有约30名食客，但没多久后几乎全都离开。到了凌晨3时，还有约20摊位仍在营业，但整个小贩中心当时却只有4名食客。有摊贩反映凌晨至早晨6时人潮冷清，24小时营业的韩国餐摊主就申诉，这时段若有十名顾客就已心满意足：“这时段还要开档根本说不过去，但我必须履行和业者签订的合约，继续开档避免被罚款。”

A Smart Nation hawker centre ? HUAT !!!

They are supposed to open 24hrs a day with 2 off days. And a $250 fine for each other day they close without permission and with a week's notice and with the managing agent's approval. Imagine if they, or their child or parents have some medical or family emergency. Managing agent can up the penalty to $500 a day as they see fit.

At least he is exposing the dirty scumbags who collect rental.

Let's assume that he is doing this without any personal agenda.... which I highly doubt.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

What's the point of having not for profit status if u are going to charge high rent? lol

 

[micromachine]

[jumpmrt]

They can JUMP MRT or JUMP SEA to commit suicide.

The only thing that I was impress at night at that Tempines Hub Kopi Tiam is they got a 1 meter cubic red color robot to wash floor automatically, it moves between tables and chair without knocking at them.

What the fuck this kinda bond to nail down low ses fellow singaporeans cheebye this also dare to do

[halsey02]

They might as well install a bank of food vending machines...& sensors on each table, with a camera & alarm. You do not remove your trays or disposables, once you get up, the alarm will sound & the camera with take your photo. From the card or apps or whatever you use to purchase the food, your identity is easily established & there is a time stamped too.

A simple hawker centre make until so complicated with unnecessary layers of coordinators, doing non value added work adding additional costs, that benefits these PAP linked businessmen. If food prices don't increase, I laugh!

70% voted for this. Lol
