Onus now on government to consider suggestions to provide better support for hawkers: Leong Mun Wai

Singapore's parliament voted on Wednesday (Nov 13) in favour of an amended Progress Singapore Party (PSP) motion to continue the government's support for hawkers and to grow the hawker culture. In his closing speech, PSP's Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Leong Mun Wai talked about the challenges that hawkers face, as well as how there can be a “more level playing field for our individual hawkers to thrive and flourish”. “The current plight of our hawkers is at least partly due to the policies laid down by the government,” he said. “The onus is now on the government to consider our suggestions to provide better support for hawkers in the future.” More details: https://cna.asia/3OdwzZH Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Subscribe to our news service for must-read stories: Telegram - https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp - https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/channelnewsasia TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
