Really jialat, no wonder so many of them join the grassroots. All of them PLP just to extract benefits, at expense of ordinary hardworking Singaporeans.

Oh well, Sgreans pawn sgreans is something that was inculculated in us by MIW mah....

 

[Tiny Shrimp]

Jialat... so much bad news
Who dare to go there eat now, knowing all this bloat is baked into the prices

It seems like the stall owners got suckered into setting up stalls, then slowly nickeled and dimed and squeezed the life out of them by "the system"

Anyways, sgunited and cdc vouchers

 

[TickTechToe]

Notice the media always use the name social enterprises here, social enterprises there... no more socially-conscious enterprises... because they got no more conscious? Their conscious eaten by dogs, is it?

 

[Sen Sen]

Btw is the hawker food there nice?

There is no formal official guideline for social enterprise... you hire autistic pple sell $10 kacang puteh then invest $0.50 to autistic causes... also can call yourself social enterprise...

[carey]

our Govt always have a funny way of using and interpreting english
very different from common folks

Race also can be up for "debate" - what else can't they do?

Learnt new word! Estoppel

If Canopy Hawker Group later decides to enforce the relevant penalties, hawkers may rely on the legal principle of “estoppel” as a defence, he added.

"(This means that) the hawkers can say, 'sorry, despite what has been written in the contract, you have separately and publicly stated that this is a voluntary obligation'," said Mr Chooi

But the hawker needs to then take the operator to court

How many of them have the means and resources to do so?

The Mr Chooi is also another one just talking from his ivory tower

 

[carey]

NEA should just admit that their dumb idea of outsourcing mgmt of hawker centres to Social Enterprises is a massive failure. Expecting profit seeking companies to do charity work is fool hardy in the first place.

But but but these SEHCs are kaki langs

 

[junjie433]

All of you misunderstand OYK liao, he is not helping the Social Enterprise but the hawkers. Bcos he already say no penalties up front from his perspective, the social enterprise will not dare to disobey liao

His words can overwrite the contract? I didn't realise he is so powerful...

 

[Laneige]

My c angmoh not v gd with all those also know the hawkers need to do it
If don’t need then put for fun ah

 

[carey]

No .. later he will u turn.. citing spore is a country which pride itself on it judiciary system, law and order. Contractual terms should be followed and abided unless the hawkers can proved they signed under distress or scammed.

If not mnc and global countries will lose confidence in Spore and not willingly to invest. Sinkie rice bowls will be at risk. Sinkie want that to happen ?

Later he will say during next renewal he will make sure such terms dont exist... problems solved liao.

Conscious is not Conscience...
