bfore price cap on hawker food
the price cap for minister n mps pay need to be address first

I thought the Govt said Inflation has eased but there is no reduction in the price of hawker food.

Didn't Amy Khor says that rent is not the cause of price inflation ? Didn't Grace fool remarked that since we all can afford $20 pasta, we should not complain about $5 wanton mee?

These million $ bozos are so detached from the ground not to know how much rentals are. In HDB central, shophouses rents are as high as $30,000 per month.

Do you want these Bozos to be your ministers come GE25? More opposition voices are need to Change Gov Direction.

The choice is yours.

Even if there is Price reduction, Hawkers will reduce the portion. Which hawker does want to earn more money?

it was too cheap in that labour involved was giving their income away.
returning to normal. but should act against chain store. those are control by investors and work with foreigner workers. hawker stall should be left to individual singaporean who want to proviude food service.
investors can go coffeeshop shopping center.

cpf should be enforce on hawker. else this group of people will face problem at retirement, housing etc.
it is difficult to save money. most people cannot.

Actually, the problem is not many people are eating out

as compared to 7 years ago ( pre- pandemic)

That is why hawkers cannot make ends meet

The best solution is- Reduce the Hawker Stalls by 25%

the mix of foreigner here has changed to low income worker. they eat in dorm, carry prepack food.
so there is a huge reduction in number of consumers. most obvious is eggs. now many time just purchase eggs also not fresh.

So what is the solution

Hawkers food are not expensive. It is the coffee shops and the restaurants food that are very expensive

hawkers these days are telling you, no money to eat here, cook at home, no need to complain.

Where is the location and what is stall name?

They should have place to free rent and pay for your utilities and tents use then can see pricing up or down from rental.

I went to Whampoa Drive Blk 90 but I didn't see the stall name lah!

The poll is wrong diverting from actual cost drivers such as rental which in turn pinning food prices

If a bowl of greenbean soup is 1.70 $, how about a cup of "longkang" water, tasteless tea priced at $1.60/$1.70 ? Talk about profiteering and where is the govt agency for anti-profiteering?

You didn't see the stall name. Can you describe what does that stall look like? The hawker look ? Which date and year and months?
