[GLGT] Minister Ong Ye Kung Responds to KF Seetoh’s Untrue Claims About Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre

[ridiculous?]

Boating haz consequences, hu did chiu boats?

 

[krikering]

Curious, anyone knows how much is the rental range over there?

Until now still 'to and fro' between these people and no one (including Seetoh himself) actually quotes and produces the rental fees per month of the hawkers.

Let's say if the hawker stall is very cheap per month, then isn't it ok that they give out free meals or cheap meals and the 70 dollar space is still affordable?

Seetoh himself misses out the most important information from the hawkers!

He should go back to New York to man that SG foodcourt there lah. How he stand up for the hawkers one, walao eh.

And they wonder why some people are upset by the huge bailout they got

Uh no
Rental is demand and supply right?

Not cos the rich boss in an act of kindness charges you $1 for rental

If so.and you pay $100 for rental its your hard work, luck or timing
So why should you give free charity meals

No no no, MSM's KPI is being PAP mouthpiece, so they have not been slacking on this KPI at all, hence they have been receiving bonuses and pay increments.

Hi Joseph, just my opinion only. I think that place the rental not cheap. That's is why got hawker complain all these little things to Seetoh.

KF Seetoh 1 man show leh, he stood up and do all the investigate work for the hawkers not like our ministers/Canopy Hawker Groups, etc. leh.

Entire machinery, entire MSM.also support them. David vs Goaliath

Hope more people with connections inside the hawker scene can help KF Seetoh also, he trying his best to preserve our hawker culture that is being threatened by the greedy landlords, etc.

 

[sonicboyz]

this one when parliament re open will someone ask questions?

no more LMW to ask qns

 

[jimmy]

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.

Why would your think condos are still selling like hotcakes?

 

[buttbERry]

no more LMW to ask qns

wa like that ah

 

[Joseph12]

The issue is pretty straight forward.
Dunno why the operator and some advisor need to twist and turn it till it become some rocket science.

I am wondering WHERE is the LISTENING that LW mentioned the campaign.
Or his LISTENING is to be done by the residents and THEY are the one DOING THE TALKING.

Storage space
- Just draw a box on the ground for the tenants to put their stuff so that they do not create some fire hazard at the back of their store WITH NO RENTAL involved.

Charity Meal
- Remove it or the existing hawkers have to unite and approach the Monitor in charge to resolve it if the operator REFUSE to BULGE.
- As long as it is stated in their agreement, they MUST COMPLY if call upon. The penalty will be at the discretion of the OPERATOR. Please STOP the nonsense about NO PENALTY or else it defeats the purpose of putting the clause there.
- Do we want to label it as a case of the operator BULLYING the tenants ?

Actually no need for charity meals
The minister already said its for "show" only

OK
If that's true, hawkers should up.the ante and say like this " since its for show and NOT serious like what you say, we will NOT provide charity meals.
Based on what minister said , no action will.be taken against us or it being held against us"

End of story

 

[Medicated Oil]

I only know there's no free meals in this world ..

There are free charity in this case.
You donate, I get all the credits and take photos with the advisors.
And getting some metal piece a few years later.

 

[Bam25th]

But the trolley is quite smart.
End of the day push trolley in, so no need pay $70.

The blue basket stalls should just change to trolley. At least now they learn, so should follow and save $70

 

[mryongtan]

Some one can fart and say that it smell like Chanel.
The agreement is between the operator and tenants and both parties signed.
Are you going to use the above argument if you dun comply ?
I dun think so.

The ex-PM also mentioned that there is going to be no more GST increase in the past.
And what happened ?

 

[Stroganoff]

sad that LMW no longer able to raise real issue in parliament.

Ong already said for fun

If operator tells hawker cos you are in breach of clause XXX by not providing 100 free meals, we are terminating your lease, of course hawker should blow it up and make.Ong looks.like a fool for starters , an ineffective guy the operator treats like hot air and just a blowhard

Oh
And when Ong said that , the operator never corrected him

 

[Kiwi8]

Not surprising at all, when OYK promotes RBD seed oils, the MSM echoes the narrative, cementing public acceptance despite the clear evidence of disastrous metabolic harm.

65% voted for this bullsh!t, what can we say.

 

[boredom2012]

A contractual clause means it is legally binding and must be enforced. For charity purposes, you can include a provision to reduce rent if meals are provided, rather than making it a contractual obligation.

LMW is the hero we need but don't deserve

He can pat his backside and say that it was a honest mistake in the future if any one want to hold his comments against him.
So, what can any one do about it ?

As long as the operator never remove the clause, its terms and conditions remains.

The MSM started MYBFD, didn’t they, and we all remember how they reported during the GE.

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

https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/20...ms-over-storage-fee-and-charity-meal-clauses/


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.

Sorry what's inside the basket if not space?

 

[daylight]

alot of foodcourt stalls now offer $3.50 budget meals.

Got sue or not?
