  • Is Government Providing Fair Subsidy To Local And Foreign Stallholders?

    Is Government Providing Fair Subsidy To Local And Foreign Stallholders?

    I went to this stall because of their signboard.

    As I asked about the subsidy as shown, I receive the following reply.

    The stall owner Aunty raised her tone at me with her angry pointed-up eyebrows, which look like an angry bird in red.

    I asked about the written subsidy meal.. She shout :’ Government help one, I am private. Different, u dun understand??!!’

    I told her :’ Your attitude is bad, I do not want to order your food.’

    I walk to another economic stall. The boss explained, I am not the 1st person to feedback on her bad attitude. He explained, the boss of the stall is a PRC lady. She receives 5k subsidy assistance per month.

    Isn’t this a 100% profitting business?

    Why is so much help cater to prc, but how about local hawker entrepreneurs?

    We have to go through approval n approval and check n checks.

    I kinda felt the unfairness to other hawker entrepreneurs whom just start out their noble hawker business.

    To start a hawker stall, a $30k to 40k is needed. His stall rental is 1.7k per month.

    My outcoming stall rental is 1.8k.

    Is a hawker entrepreneur life easy?

    How many plates of rice do we need to sell to cover the basic cost price. The long working hours too.

    My morning is indeed a memorable one.

    Regards,
    Aunty Pan
