SINGAPORE: Environment Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said it is important to look at how to nurture and select Singapore's next generation of hawkers.
He was asked to elaborate on the government's plans to build ten new hawker centres at a community event on Sunday.
Mr Balakrishnan said: "It's not as if anyone can just walk off the street and say I'm going to make the world's best char kway teow. There's an element of training, exchanging of best practices and recipes. And we need in a way to professionalise our hawker centres and our hawkers."
In order to make sure hawker centres remain viable in the long run, Dr Balakrishnan said the hawkers must be Singaporeans.
With the new hawker centres, he said the government will also look at creating opportunities and jobs for the low income group.
A 19-member panel appointed by the Environment and Water Resources Ministry is spearheading the public consultation exercise for ideas on what the hawker centre of the future should be like.
Dr Balakrishnan said several MPs have approached him to request for new hawker centres in their wards but he did not reveal the possible locations.
N.B: This could be the guise of training new migrant FTs who do not have sufficient skillsets to make it in this country so that they can qualify as hawkers and displace local sinkies. Already there is an increase in the number of FT who have turned to be hawkers here. These FTs will be the new generation of fake sinkies here.

Our ministers really must get their heads checked.

In developed countries, the immigration policy fills up gaps for the lower end jobs like hawkers, cleaners and menial workers. This is to complement the existing labour force which has upgraded their skills and to keep costs low.

Instead, our FAP is importing en mass PMETs to compete with Singaporeans and now encouraging citizens to take up low end jobs??? WTF?

And what is the definition of citizen.......new ones included......for their vote.
