Previously a post by Makansutra founder Kf Seetoh when viral after he highlight that rental is increasing and it is the worse time to increase rental rates amid Covid-19.
He posted a letter from NEA which includes the rental terms and revised rental rate and miscellaneous payments and an increase in “40%” rental.
In his Facebook post he said:
“Here we all are doing our best to #suppprtourhawkers , and there they are at same time raising the hawkers rent by almost 40% . I removed all names and numbers so this hawker need not be identified as he has dutifully accepted his fate and moved on.
Why oh why I ask. You may need to claw back to top up the national coffers but do your leaders even know it’s a horrible timing to do so now. This hawker had been languishing in sales this whole year.
Even with this 2 people rule ( even with the promised 5 people rule next month), things aren’t looking rosy for them. Lotsa folks are buying online and WFM, a seductive and convenient culture ingrained into us over the last year and many offline hawkers are left to dry out. Two to a table with 3 turns at peak lunch hour is only 6 dishes n drinks, that’s just scratching at hope’s door. Top that up with this “professional valuers” decree that rents must be raised now, it is another death knell for the #supportourhawkers movement.
Say, did these pro valuers value the pricing of our affordable hawker food and suggest it should also be raised by 40% and recommend a campaign to inform public they should all, well heeled and disadvantaged, be paying lots more for the makan..to be in line with world standards? Selling food at such low prices to keep the less blessed well fed in fully developed Singapore..is a compassionate duty and responsibility.”
NEA explains after the post went viral
“In recent years, rental revision upwards at tenancy renewals in our hawker centres have not exceeded $300. On the other hand, there have been rental revisions downwards of more than $300 upon tenancy renewals. It is misleading to look at percentage increases alone as a $300 increase from a low rental will appear as a large percentage increase.”

A netizen shared how her maid’s agency asked her whether the maid used phone during work.
She said that as an employer, she doesn’t understand why maids are treated differently.
She likens it to us using our phones at work, taking 15 minutes breaks, and that maids are humans too.
She said that she wants employers to treat employees the same as how you want people to treat you.
You can read her post in full below:
“I don’t understand the fact that the maid agency asked me whether the domestic helper did use phone during work.
Me as an employer does not matter whether she use phone, I’m sure she have the mature mindset to prioritize work before use hp.
The fact that I don’t understand was why treat the domestic helper indifferently. Isn’t we the same use hp at work, sometimes we take 15 mins break. I mean domestic helper and employer are human being. Obviously when we work we sometimes need to have a break before continuing work again right.
The reason that I’m posting this is to put awareness to those employers to treat your employees the same as how you want people to treat you. Don’t ever treat your employees as a robot.”

A man who married a foreign spouse, but the child was born in Vietnam. The man is currently seeking advice as his baby is unable to get Singaporean citizenship.
Here is his story:
My Singapore 2nd son, born in Vietnam hospital, with a foreign spouse. As per ICA foreign policy and Vietnamese law, my son has to register as Vietnamese to get the birth cert. I apply within 1 year of a baby born to be Singaporean Citizenship with vietnam birth cert (as required by ICA). After waiting for 2 years, ICA rejects the application. Singapore baby is not automatically become Singaporean if born outside of Singapore with a foreign spouse.
At the time of the extremely low baby rate, Singapore ICA rejected my application. My first son is Singaporean, have to apply too and got it. Because I am now working in Vietnam with low salary, my 2nd son cannot get Citizenship.
There is NO appeal on this. and have to redo the application. Who and where can I get help?
