    Geylang Ramadan Bazaar Focused On Muslim Owners And Their Products/Services In The 80s And 90s

    We are seeing too many non-Muslim Owned stalls in Geylang, the heart of the Malay (I shall not delete this, but I stand corrected as it shld be generally just Muslim) Muslim community “get-together” place for Ramadan and Eid celebrations.

    It has been and always shld be THE trend since the 80s, 90s and crossing well into the millennium, that Geylang Ramadan bazaar shld be focused on Muslim owners and their products/services.

    I’m not going into the race/religion issue, but it is becoming more “non Malay/Muslim” bec the rentals are gg thru the roof.

    A lot of ppl, me included, are wondering, is it a ploy to one day push out all 100% Muslim Owned stalls out of Ramadan Geylang bazaar. It is super gd biz during Ramadan, as we Muslims descend and spend a lot during this period, so the sharp biz ppl are zooming in to Geylang.

    Why is the tender system allowed to go higher and higher every year? Causing the winning tender owners to impose higher and higher rentals, making it beyond reach of most Malay/Muslim vendors.

    Whatever it is, do not remove the need for Halal certification, if the stall is not 100% Muslim Owned. And now with a lot of “Malay” looking workers manning the stalls, it’s difficult to ascertain.

  • Bazaar Geylang Stallholders Must Stop Monkey-See, Monkey-Do Mentality, Create Fresh Products

    Bazaar Geylang Stallholders Must Stop Monkey-See, Monkey-Do Mentality, Create Fresh Products

    How do people expect to succeed when doing business when they are just monkey see, monkey do? I have visited bazaar at Geylang, Tampines and Woodlands, and no guesses what the trend for this year. Drinks (particularly Thai milk tea) served in BIG cups and BIG sotongs. Then one do ondeh-ondeh, all do ondeh-ondeh. So if everyone is selling similar things, how do you make money?

    Isn’t the point of business is to sell something that sets you apart from your competitors? The selling point of YOUR product. But it is so typical to see one person doing well, so let’s all sell the same things.

    And then you wonder why the watermelon volcano is doing well… and no guesses that it is not Malay owned. Hmmmm.

  • Bazaar Geylang Too Westernized, Like Pasar Malam

    Bazaar Geylang Too Westernized, Like Pasar Malam

    So much of all dis new items dat d malay tradisional food all not ard. U cant even find d kuih muih for buka. Koleh2.. putri salad.. badak berendam.. its so hard.. all d shop 1 end to d other sell d same ting. Churros. Kebab.

    Pasar mlm fd. Its more to pasar mlm den bazar ramadhan geylang serai.

    Everyone hav their own opinion. I agree with dat.

    But to tink abt geylang serai. Tmpt melayu. With bazaar ramadhan. Tapi nk carik kuih melayu susah.

    Sampai nk kene gi pasar geylang or haig rd. Den tu bkn bazaar ramadhan. Mayb ur too young wen time pasar geylang lama blm dirobohkan. Suasana yg meriah dgn kemelayuan. Semangat hari raya. Tu semua dh tkde kat bazaar ramadhan skrg ni. Terlalu westernised.

    Jgn sampai satu hari budaya kemelayuan kita semu hilang utk anak2 muda kita rasakan apa itu ertI hari raya.

  • Dr Fatimah Lateef: Suasana Bazaar Geylang Tidak Dapat Ditandingi

    Dr Fatimah Lateef: Suasana Bazaar Geylang Tidak Dapat Ditandingi

    Meskipun pusat beli-belah yang baru telah dibuka di Geylang Serai, seperti OneKM, bazar Geylang pasti masih dapat menarik ramai pengunjung.

    Demikian pandagan Anggota Parlimen (AP) bagi GRC Marine Parade Profesor Madya Dr Fatimah Lateef yang membuka rasmi bazar Geylang Serai sekitar 7:30 malam tadi.

    Beliau telah memotong reben bagi menandakan bermulanya bazar Ramadan di kawasan tersebut.

    Semasa ditemui Berita Harian, Dr Fatimah berkata:

    “Tarikan bazar berbeza sama sekali, dan suasananya tidak mungkin ditandingi. Oleh itu, tidak mungkin ia akan terjejas (oleh pusat beli belah baru),” ujar beliau yang telah mengunjungi beberapa gerai di bazar itu.

    Seperti tahun-tahun lalu, bazar Ramadan di Geylang Serai tertumpu di kawasan pasar Geylang Serai, Kampung Melayu Geylang Serai, Haig Road, kawasan lapang di hadapan bangunan Darul Arqam, Tanjong Katong Complex dan Onan Road.
