[glarerder]

CNA 造反了！！！
suddenly all these news outlet grow a conscience?

GE just over. Wait near next GE see the tides turn again. Lol

 

[cpuer]

SG60 now, 大家坐下来好好谈一谈：

Remedy for the Current Situation​

1. Amend the tenancy contracts
   Replace “shall participate” with “may participate” and remove penalty clauses for free meals.
2. Issue a joint clarification from Canopy Hawkers Group, NEA, and the ministry confirming the current status, future plans, and exact obligations.
3. Offer compensation or rent relief to hawkers if they already bore costs under the scheme without subsidy.
4. Set up a hawker advisory council to co-design future community programs.

Conscious is not Conscience...

Yah lah.. No more conscious means they no more aware or care about their impact to the society, means can be like conscience eaten by dogs lah

 

[Sen Sen]

Even if nice also to ulu, no one will go all the way there, not even near mrt

I think is quite near sebawang mrt?
But agreed, I also won’t travel all the way there unless pass by near the area…

 

[krikering]

Not I say one, this saga, and since there r many lawyers in P8P lite party, didn’t see any comments or statements from them.

Not even a single word from Sham/Indranee/Rahayu/Edwin/Vikram, etc. so far. Some more the Vikram is from Sembawang GRC one, thought very garang in parliament try to score brownie points against Jamus/LMW/Pritam, etc.

How come suddenly so quiet, when this issue being raised is taking place on his own GRC lol?

Contract stated "Hawkers Shall ... " = compulsory for hawkers to do
OYK said "Untrue" = he means it because his said it with "good intent"
Canopy .... diam diam suck thumb eat humble pie admit mistake remove stupid clause move on

Today learn something, SG ministir is never wrong ... what he said is always right, even if the contract stated is opposite. And this exploitation has been going on for years ....

Like that sign contract for fcuk?? Just ask ministir with good intent to right the wrong for you can liao.
If I understand the whole sagat correctly, I mean right.

 

[Roadster01]

The word ‘shall’ is a very powerful word in contracts.

it obligate the complete acceptance of the clause.

moi company avoided millions in liquidated damages, luckily by removing the word ‘shall’ in contracts, replaced with non-obligatory terms.

surprised OYK didn’t know this when he was in some trade(?) ministry before entering politics?

 

[Laguna123]

Many ppl like to slap OYK.

In coming days, will have more Ashley Wu-kind of articles coming out liao to shift the main focus to something else liao. Anyway OYK probably laying now, probably Grace Fu will be the one making comments soon since NEA is under her watch. She another JLB anyway, father used to be press secretary of LKY in the past.

Crony capitalism at its best, uniquely Singapore. We are similar to Malaysia, Czech and Russia in this regard.

 

[party.sta]

not forgetting why in the first place the hawker is not run by nea directly but by a social enterprise? and also why nea did not put in the contract that the free meal should come from the profit of the social enterprise company who is already earning a layer off the rental?

is the social enterprise company director related to someone higher up?

Very good example right here. Btw the Timbre group's last time boss is a current MP now also.

Agreed.

Let's indoctrinate ... I mean educate our young ones by putting this powerful word in their nursery and rhymes ... "She shall sell seashells by seashores", means she must sell seashell --- it's in the contract ... I mean the sentence.

 

[Lchlch]

[shawntyq]

Wa so many information leaked, based on them easily is conflict of interest.

Yeah, you are right, after talking nonsense without checking and kena exposed, usual trick from P@P is to create a diversion, then use the pliant MSM to direct attention away from OYK.

 

[Medicated Oil]

never know hawker very difficult to earn a living.

The diners are also very difficult cos they are the one bearing all the cost increase every time.

 

[Kiwi8]

So that means SeeToh is right and Ong is wrong?
