Student jods cui what, either fast food or those stinky agent recruit express or Kelly jods where their cut is more than 50% when they do almost nothing. Still remember the stupid packer jod 5 dollars per hour and the supervisor at the place told me my position they pay actual is like 11+ per hour

Maybe their families not rich and need to make some $ during hols to help out? At least they are doing something and not idling or vaping and creating public nuisance. You don’t like just say No thanks and walk away

Members of the public who come across any illegal hawking activities should report them to SFA via the online feedback form (https://csp.sfa.gov.sg/feedback) with details for us to investigate.

Pls note these si ginnas are doing illegal.
Pls repork them and hab them arrested.
The parents of these ginnas use their ginnas coz they think when ginnas are caught they will be let off lightly.

Pls counter thish by slapping adult charges on the ginnas.
Well I wouldn't
At least they are not seen going around bullying kids, vaping or doing staircase biz
Technically what they are doing may not be legal if they are not causing harm they should be given leeway

They are most likely student planners who are keen to join the industry. This is a way to see if this is for them or not. But yea, they should be doing jobs that guarantee money in pockets

Simi not cause harm.
Quote from the article:

Food sold via illegal hawking may be unsafe, as such food items may not meet our food safety requirements. In addition, such vendors are transitory and cannot be traced if buyers face problems with their purchases.

Many of these ginnas engage in hard sell which ish touting and harassment and ish a form of extortion.
Worse gibing these pple leeway will encourage FTs to do the saem.
And FTs will turn thish into organized crime.

Is unregistered unlicensed unfiled tax home tutoring a student job?

May be
Food is something nobody can guarantee. Who says food 5 star hotel buffet will be safe 100%?
Who says you 100% won't laosai from the food you cook at your kitchen?
Look at hawker centres. Some stalls, graded C or D people also eat. Why?
It is up to individuals to make their own choices. And see heng suay.

But yes, if those kids resort to extortion and harassment it is different story.

Was sitting downstairs enjoying the silence and shop closing mood when kenna approached by young boy claiming to be some poly student ... the approach very diplomatic leh(same quality like 5* harmony in honkai starrail) but ...I faster blahx3 that I don't makan whatever he trolley in the box and scampered back to my hobbit hole.

Why... So many holiday jobs this end of year for students, part-timers they don't want to do but want to hard sell in HDB estate like woodlands? We don't have district 10 spending power leh... A bit xiong some of those jobs ... but ... hard selling? I actually don't quite like this kind of sales tactic leh...courtesy for money...or whatever it is


very good.

always be hustling.

this type of spirit is good for future entrepreneurs and for even office work.
