You guys say untill like KF is a saint. He advocates price increases as well and always compare wanton mee to ramen $15-$20 and say what’s wrong with paying that

I agree he fights for hawkers but not the consumers

There's a common interest to hold these Social Enterprises accountable. That's all that matters.

Its not always the lowest price is bestest for consumers bah.
According to your logic lower prices should be good for consumers, but even China govt don't want their EV car makers to keep dropping prices on their cars to kill their competitors out.

Hawkers also need to be profitable to keep themselves alive first. As long its a wiling buyer for the $15 wanton mee, then good for the wanton seller bah. As long buyers have choices to chose what they want, that's more important bah.

Consumers have a general feel of what the price is like. A $20 chicken rice in heartland area sure fails, likewise for a $4 chicken rice in town area

Probably trying to do damage control, suspect will be another minister come out to comment instead.

Then at the end, he will give the conclusive statement with full of motherhood statements like "We should start to accept higher prices for Hawker Fares from now on, be fair to them" , etc.

Whilst refusing to address the elephant in the room, which is none other than the greedy landlords causing the entire issue.

In this case, everyone knows that Canopy Hawker Group should bear the biggest responsibility but MSM Coverage on them now still so little.

Add the word social but actually is antisocial
Which is quite ironically cos what social act did the operator perform for the past three years.
End up they are "still" working on the resident list to distribute the "free" meals.

The unit in charge need to buck up and review the "social" ability of all the SEHC to determine whether their lease should be extended.
Dun hang around too much in their pantry or rubbish bin.

No no I’m not saying that everything should forever be cheap but comparing things to restaurant food don’t work right?

one is a staple Singaporeans eat daily and the other one is a recreational food with higher overheads and cost.

omnicron prob thinking how to fix sinkies now the "social" clause will be removed.
LMW and PSP really got 远见, started this issue earlier liao last year.

But I believe KF Seetoh then already got expressed his opinion, just that right now he manages to gather all necessary evidences to show the public.

That I agree.
These social enterprises charge high high rent squeeze the hawkers and tell them to give free food.

the charges should be pari passu with all other hawkers. Why must privatise them

Koufu and Timbre Group, etc. all got links with Grassroots. Won't be surprised if so, we all know the patterns of those F&B/Construction owners and other SME owners, etc. whom joined grassroots one.

Then normal people join for BTO/Parking/P1 registration slots, etc.

Why do we really need social enterprise?

Dont think they add value to the society. Only adds data to good GDP
