This is a status update posted to Facebook by PAP MP Denise Phua in response to the recent news that the Sungei Road Flea Market would be closing down for good.
(Related: Iconic Sungei Road Flea Market to close down to make way for redevelopment)

"There are mixed reactions to the news that the Sungei Road market will have to go.

This is what I shared with the ST journalist who interviewed me: "The Sungei Road second- hand market of today is not the same as what we remember of the market in days of old ; the goods traded, profiles of buyers and sellers are not quite the same.

Not all goods sold are recycled goods and the environmental cause can be far from many of the sellers' minds. Some of the sellers are elderly and in need of social assistance ; some simply love the lifestyle of peddling in a free space and highly resistant to change; others are opportunistic traders who are highly motivated by the free rent and the city location.

Many residents in the neighbourhood have been complaining for years about the dis-amenities in the environment eg hawkers
stocking their goods at the void decks; and perception of increasing crime rate with more foreigners on social visit passes coming to trade there.

Government should take a serious analysis of the situation and put together an inter-ministry work group capable of making decisions on the vision and desired purpose of such a market ; who the stakeholders are and their real needs and motivations. "
