For those of you who know me well, you know how much I love Old Airport Road Hawker Centre! I take all my foreign friends there and to Kereta Ayer Market.
When I went there yesterday, one of the hawkers I know very well was lamenting to me how recent changes are going to kill the hawker centre. So, apparently NTUC took over the management of the hawker centre and they were all made to sign ridiculous legal documents in English without a translator informing them what they were signing. When they asked what was the content, the “ang kong kia” said “nothing much lah” and to “just sign”. The hawker told me it is like NTUC hired a bunch of debt collectors to visit them.
How can you make hawkers sign a legal document with no translation provided???
The Hawker also mentioned to me that they were made to buy mandatory insurance of $100+ per annum which covers the public areas outside their stall.
Why are they made to insure the hawker centre??
Then their monthly cleaning costs rose to $500+ from $300+. This hawker has been there since I was a kid. They have seen it rise from $4 to $80 to $100+ to $300+ last round and now $500+. Stalls that sell mainly takeaway items and have nothing to wash are also charged the same rate now whereas the previous contractor voluntarily gave them a slight discount since they used less resources. When asked if NTUC could continue to give them a discount, silence….
I know costs have risen but is this profiteering? If the previous contractor could do it at $300+, why the almost doubling of charges?
The Hawker also told me they are super grateful to Seetoh for bringing everything up because when they mentioned it to their MP, silence…. Their MP was even there at the meeting when all the ridiculous changes were brought up and said nothing.
Yo, MP, you were voted to represent the people not to keep silent!
I really got upset when I was told they now need to report their movement to the contractor or face punishments. So this hawker was told they need to inform NTUC whenever they are closing to take leave. When the hawker informed them, they asked the hawker is anyone manning the stall? The hawker replied yes, then they said no need to inform. So they were like, must report also you say, no need to report also you say.
The new contract they signed also mandates that they must stay open for super long hours. The old hawkers protested to this and are not complying. They said if they force them to open, they might as well close and retire. Their point is very valid. They said why open when there is no one coming? People who make these rules should consult the hawkers since they have been there for ages and know their operating environment well.
Hawkers are indepent operators. Since when are they now working for NTUC and since when has NTUC become their boss??? Also, how does forcing elderly hawkers into working long hours make things any better?
Seriously, you talk about hawker centres being important, (AND THEY ARE!) but you are doing everything possible to make hawkers lives more difficult. Soon there will be no more hawkers left and all the delicious cheap food will go with them.
Something is really wrong somewhere. I decided to write this long post so that you guys are aware of what is happening and know that the reports coming in fast and furious about these so called social enterprises are not fake news. We’d better go and eat there before they all leave.

Yesterday, I went over to the Bishan Branch of OCBC as a concerned customer and global citizen, to present them with the UN’s recent report on climate change and to ask what OCBC is doing about it.
The staff were clueless and told me to call Customer Support, who in turn told me to email Corporate Communications. Which I did. Join me and show the banks that I am not the only one who is worried about climate change!
Netizens Response (LMFAO)

Please be careful of this fat man who lied to his mother’s money and went to gambling.
He demanded money from his mother, and his mother said no money to him. He beats up his mother. A 60-Year-old!. So old still hit not to mentioned own mother!
It says beware of this scammer, he cheated his mother money to gamble in casino. Even when his mum told him that she no longer have any more money, he beat his own mother up.

My situation same as the guy that stayed at garbage center.
I work two jobs to pay for the rental and work nonstop until fall sick just to pay for rental cause Singapore government let me wait for many years without housing.
I been homeless since I eighteen years old and had to stay at a friends place until the age of 35. I keep calling HDB for help but that time they say i too young to apply for housing.
During this period I stay with others untill i reach tbe age 37,i been abused by others whom i staying with. And almost got raped by a landlord.
In end up afraid to stay with others and end up in the sex line to pay for high rental so i can stay alone to rent the whole flat
