  • 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

  • Zed Zaidi Rasa Terugut, Kakitangan Persatuan Seniman Lapor Nick Mikhail Kepada Polis

    Zed Zaidi Rasa Terugut, Kakitangan Persatuan Seniman Lapor Nick Mikhail Kepada Polis

    Gara-gara mengugut dan mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat terhadap Zed Zaidi, Persatuan Seniman Malaysia (Seniman) membuat laporan polis terhadap seorang selebriti televisyen Singapura iaitu Nick Mikhail Razak.

    Pada Selasa lalu, Nick Mikhail mengeluarkan tuduhan itu menerusi sebuah video yang dimuat naik di Facebooknya.

    Laporan polis dibuat oleh Pengerusi Biro Perpaduan dan Antarabangsa Seniman iaitu Datuk Subash Sundaramoorthy, 36, di Balai Polis Taman Melawati  pada Khamis.

    Menurut Subash, pihak Seniman terpanggil untuk melaporkan kepada polis mengenai perkara itu setelah merasakan tindakan Nick Mikhail itu melampau sehingga mencalarkan kredibiliti Zed Zaidi yang juga merupakan Presiden Persatuan Seniman Malaysia.

    Malah jelas Subash, ia bukan kali pertama individu itu menyelar Zed Zaidi dan pihaknya sebelum ini hanya berdiam diri kerana tidak mahu mengeruhkan keadaan.

    “Ini kali ketiga individu berkenaan mengugut dan mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat, fitnah terhadap Seniman dan presiden jadi atas sebab itu kita rasakan perlu membuat laporan polis kerana sebelum ini kami senyap sahaja.

    “Kata-katanya iaitu ‘kalau lu langgar sama Aliff Aziz lu langgar sama gua. Sekarang wa cabar sama lu, lu pancung, lu datang kita tunggu sama lu’ adalah satu ugutan melampau.

    “Kita rasa bertanggungjawab untuk mempertahankan Seniman dan presiden dari terus diperkotak-katikkan oleh individu yang tiada kaitan dengan persatuan.

    “Zed sendiri tidak tahu kami akan buat laporan polis dan hanya memberitahunya pagi ini,” akhirnya.

  • Property Agents Unhappy With PropertyGuru’s Impending Price Hike

    Property Agents Unhappy With PropertyGuru’s Impending Price Hike

    Local property search portal PropertyGuru’s decision to increase prices for property agents to list on its platform has sparked a backlash among some real estate agents.

    According to a notice PropertyGuru sent to its subscribers on Jul 31, prices of new agent packages will range from S$880 per year to S$9,880 per year from Friday (Aug 4) – up from the current annual cost of S$630 to S$2,240.

    These packages also include the number of concurrent listings an agent can have on its site, and a pool of credits agents use to put up their listings, or “boost” it such that it appears at the top of the page.

    More than 3,000 agents have joined a Telegram chat group called “No to Propertyguru” to discuss the issue, with some calling for a switch to other similar portals once their subscription with PropertyGuru ends.

    Agent packages on 99.co, another real estate portal, cost between S$388 and S$588 per year, while rates on SRX Property are between S$499 and S$4,299 a year, according to their websites.

    Mr Jeff Koh, the agency relationship director at 99.co, said his platform does not have a credit system. Instead, agents can click a “refresh” button every 12 hours on a listing so that it comes up on the site’s front page.

    PropertyGuru told Channel NewsAsia that the changes were made in order to “improve the property seeker’s experience”, which will “ultimately deliver more leads to the agents”.

    However, real estate agents Channel NewsAsia spoke to said they were unhappy with the price hike, particularly as PropertyGuru is the most popular site among clients, with a majority of their enquiries via real estate portals coming from there.

    A 29-year-old, who declined to be named because she belongs to a well-known property agency, said the price hike might make it harder for agents with fewer years in the industry like her to reach potential clients.

    The “top producers” will continue to receive queries from house hunters as they have the capital to spend on online listings, she said, while younger agents will have difficulty “getting on the front page”.
