73-year-old hawker shuts stall due to rent hike, seeks job at Marina Bay Sands job fair 

A veteran hawker couple has closed their long-running stall at Bukit Merah Central due to rising rental costs. Ang Xinrong, 76, recently sought employment at the Marina Bay Sands job fair. He told Lianhe Zaobao that frequent rent hikes pushed their monthly expenses beyond S$5,000, forcing them to retire from their business in January.

Interesting that he had a Hanyu Pinyin name. Thought only those locals around 40 or younger will have Hanyu Pinyin names.

In the end, they quietly disappeared from the bustling streets and probably suffering and finally, dying alone in HDB flats without anyone noticing.

Another forgotten contributor and the world doesn't care.
