Are you aware that we can visit Social Enterprise Hawker centers just to hunt for lower orice food?
Hawkers at the 13 new SEHCs will get a head start with the NEA's new Staggered Rent Scheme, which will see stallholders paying lower rents for the first two years of the centres' operations. In the first year, they will pay 80 per cent rent for the stall, and in the second year, 90 per cent.
With the median rent per month being $2,000 at SEHCs, hawkers will save around $400 on rent each month for the first year, and $200 per month the second year.
Lower rent, lower cost for hawker, price hike pressure could be minimised.
The first new one will open in 2020 at the Bukit Canberra sport and community hub in Sembawang. Read more at straitstimes.com.
