Once again, never directly provided the main clarifications on the main point(s) that people are seeking on.

Continued disagreement over principle

While the Canopy Hawkers Group’s explanation directly addressed the storage fee claims, it did not resolve the disagreement with Seetoh.

The operator drew a clear distinction between charging for permanent fixtures and charging for temporary deliveries, whereas Seetoh’s concern lay in the fact that the space — regardless of its purpose — was tied to a charge in the example he cited.

Similarly, on the free meal clause, the group and Minister Ong both highlighted the voluntary and unenforced nature of the scheme, while Seetoh argued that the very presence of such a clause created unnecessary pressure and potential for future enforcement.
Not looking up on blue bin issue

But charity meals issue is clear
IT SHOULD NOT be in contract
So is it now EMPHATICALLY even if never provide, there's zero action taken against the hawkers?

If so, all hawker should point blank tell the operator and all public NO charity meals

Really is crony capitalism at its finest, really have to gam xia KF Seetoh and Bertha Henson, etc. for calling more attention to this issue, about time someone reim those greedy landlords in. Causing so much havoc to ordinary Singaporeans just because they want buy more GCBs, Contis, Luxury goods and sustain their luxurious lifestyle.

Has there been instances where clauses are inserted into a legal document, but not meant to be enforced? 🤔

My layman brain tells me usually, at the end of such long documents, all penalties for violating any of the clauses will be there, wu yia boh? 🤔

MSM has been slacking for a long time, and some of its staff should not be receiving bonuses or pay increments.
KF Seetoh and Bertha Henson, etc. deserves special recognition.

Leong Mun Wai also commented on it, hope this matter continues to garner more public attention and rules/regulations to protect consumers and those hawkers can be put into place.

Canopy Hawkers Group and those e.g Timbre Group, etc. really need to stop being so greedy liao.

According to this FB poster, Darren Tay. It seems that perhaps Food Canopy might have some links to MIWs, after all they remain mysteriously hard for people to find information on them all of a sudden.

Funny thing is page suddenly cannot be found liao, last I checked

https://foodcanopy.com.sg/fcv1/

This is the company's LinkedIn profile:
