That is what happens when he sells meat, it will be much different if he open a vegetarian stall.

Its just a face saving way to end his hawker business. Moses Lim said the same thing before he closed down his restaurant. Host of other businesses said the same thing before they closed down. You don't hear them complaining when they started their business.

Re: Sinkie hawker with 1st class honour shared his frustration on hiring sinkie work

I feel sorry for his parents for spending so much money, time, hope and energy on him so that he can be a hawker.

Re: Sinkie hawker with 1st class honour shared his frustration on hiring sinkie work

Since when is their pay ever 3k? So he wants 2, that's 6k? He doesn't even know market rate. 2-300 more and people will come

Re: Sinkie hawker with 1st class honour shared his frustration on hiring sinkie work

We need more sinkies to drive cabs and be hawkers. There's huge demand for sinkie entreprenuership - which includes hawking and driving cabs. The number of foreign talent PMETs in Singapore is growing every year, and there is demand for sinkies to provide basic services for our foreign guests to enjoy their stay here in Singapore.

“At some point we need to have a central kitchen and it is a pure cost centre. We need to have four to five outlets before we can break-even. But to expand my business, I need stall helpers. If it is going to take me one year to open one outlet then it would take me four years before I can even start making a profit to recoup my initial investment.”

why should I work for him to expand his outlets and success?

These are the kind of propaganda the MIW will drum up to the elections.....this nincompoop is so well EDUCATED, I am sure, would worked out his. Finances, Marketing & Business plan, would of course, done his research & so forth, before taking a plunge into the stall, right?

Now he is taking a easy way out by blaming the Singapore workers, why he does not blame the MIW who is a "landlord" in broad daylight...
he might as well, set up his stall in J.B.....can get plenty of "illegal" workers..

U can tell from his quotes that he never planned to be a hawker, He planned to start a chain of food outlets. If he concentrated on his bak kut teh quality instead of thinking about ways to expand his business, he will have a long line up outside his stall. No problem paying more for assistant. The problem with this idiot is that he wants to be an entreprenuer but he has no balls. U think other hawkers so diligently follow the MOM rules and hire sinkie assistants. Bullshit. U can get plenty of FT workers under the table for less. if he got balls just do it. take a chance that he will not be reported. until they come and do check on his stall, he can get cheap labour.

The same reason why hordes of sinkies are clamouring to help bosses expand their outlets and gain financial success in return for a fixed pay every month.

PAP ask you to go be towkay and let foreigners be your employees. But sinkies don't want. They want to be the employees. They prefer the steady salary and monthly CPF.

Totally agree. Study so much for fuck. Simple logic also don't understand. Most bosses give profit sharing, while this first class honours idiot thinks he can just open multiple stores and hire people to run it. He has not even thought about how to control the money when he has multiple stores.

If so fucking simple, why not so many people are in it? Only he smart enough to figure this out?

Re: Sinkie hawker with 1st class honour shared his frustration on hiring sinkie work

As many of you on this thread have already correctly pointed out :

This graduate hawker and almost all other Singaporean F&B business owners (including Mark Lee who owns the franchisee rights to Old Town White Coffee) got it all wrong.

The problem is not that Singaporeans are unreasonable in demanding higher wages (due to the high cost of living in Singapore for Singaporeans), the problem are the unethically greedy landlords / REITS (of which the Government partially owns every Singapore REITS out there).

Landlords/REITS do not do any work at all, they just continue to collect obscene amounts of rental income every day and every night (even while they sleep), while the poor overworked and underpaid employees who do all the backbreaking dirty cleaning work and get paid next to nothing, and the unethical landlords / REITS continue to incessantly increase rents every month / 3 months / 6 months / year, with no end in sight. The Singapore market completely favours the landlords.

The rich get richer while the poor get poorer. You can observe many excellent restaurants and businesses, always fully packed with customers, but still close down because they cannot afford the ever-increasing rents. The landlord / REITS would rather earn more rental income by renting it out to richer multi-national corporations owned business which do not offer as much value as the original displaced business, and in the end both the original hardworking business (forced to close down) and the end-consumers (ie. Singaporeans) suffer.

The Government needs to (via formal legislation) control all rent prices to ensure it remains affordable for Singaporeans. Once the rents are reasonable, the bosses can begin to pay Singaporean employees reasonable wages.

Of course, do you really expect the Government (who partially owns all the Singapore REITS) to be willing to do so?

In addition, the Government needs to (but will they?) modify Foreign Talent quotas : increase the FT quota for manual-type jobs that Singaporeans do not wish to do, and decrease the FT quota for PMET jobs that Singaporeans wish to do (this is particularly problematic as most HR managers and bosses are FT, and favour hiring their own countrymen over Singaporeans for PMET positions).

Re: Sinkie hawker with 1st class honour shared his frustration on hiring sinkie work

High rental and cost of resources are driving away locals to take up these jobs. That's why all the foreigners are flooding this industry because they obviously earn more than they could back home
