SG Talk

I feel that the fine of $27k is too much. Is selling chestnut really so profitable?

Btw, what about those pastries and food sold by people at home? Aren't they considered illegal too since I don't think they got a license to sell?

Is too much…

If this judge in Sg… The fine probably will be reduced or waived off.

Good to fine them hard, if not SG end up like JB, BBK ... street vendors everywhere dirty the streets and creating congestion

Illegal hawkers help to lower costs of living by selling things cheaper.

Probably do social service rather than fine him. Clean hawker tables, sweep floor or do tiktok dance etc

You don't know the meaning of 'illegal' meh?   Against the law lah!

The illegal hawkers will not be jailed, they have "tua pek kong" these people usually elders, disables will accumulate all the fines and spend time in jail even though they are not the hawkers.

Lol funny rite? But home f&b is considered small risk cos by right small time biz... The chestnut seller is considered high risk cos he is mobile with the gas tank going places...

He earns quite a bit cos each tiny pack is 8 bucks. But all in a day's work. No difference from the home based f&b if you ask me lah...

Singapore and most folks here became too clinical. No room for difference and the "I can't so others can't" mentality is everywhere lah...

I think this guy is one of those hardcore illegal hawkers that used to "run earth cow" or 跑土牛 (chow teh gu in hokkien). Usually they will accumulate tons of summons before surrendering themselves to fines by court or jail time. I knew of one guy who used to run durian and fruits from his pickup then accumulates summons from tehgu and getting fined about $30K once in a while. These hawkers knew what they are doing and have taken calculated risks. No need for Saliva Lim to speak for them in parleemen lah. .....

No way lah even sell tissue papers also need license

Where food is concerned, 
It needs regulation. 
The source is important. 
Cannot take food safety for granted.

So they have legalised selling tissue papers by issuing licence lah!  Got licence can lah!

We have heard temporary Pasar Malam selling durians , cooked food etc, Do they need a licence to operate? Some household selling home made dumplings,Satay etc still need to apply a licence to operate business?

Just vote this inhumane govt out.

Everything fine... This is definitely not the way of ruling a country...

Fine is ok but the amount is too much for an old man

No wonder this week didn’t see a couple selling chestnut at Tampines
