Koufu quit Jurong West Hawker Centre. stall holders left hanging.

[micromachine]

SINGAPORE: Jurong West Hawker Centre will be closed for at least 10 months for potential renovation work, as the National Environment Agency (NEA) seeks a new operator.

Current operator Hawker Management, a socially-conscious enterprise under Koufu, will not have its three-year contract with NEA renewed after it ends on Aug 6.



In a media release on Tuesday (May 5), NEA said it will conduct a request for proposal to seek new ideas from operators to improve the two-storey hawker centre and market.

"As part of the RFP (request for proposal), NEA will conduct public consultations to gather ideas and suggestions from the community, work with stakeholders and potentially conduct renovation works to enhance the centre’s layout," said the agency.

"It is thus estimated that JWHC (Jurong West Hawker Centre) will be closed temporarily after the exit of Hawker Management until it reopens sometime in the second half of 2021."

Woops, so much for your 'running hawker centres as a social enterprise' scam!

P.S: Fuck you Elim Chew, you bulldyke-looking crony.

Whoever take over now will die cock standing.

Social enterprise.... another business model doomed to fail.

Squeeze hawkers dry dry until they cannot tahan, and yet force them to sell at low prices. End up the food is not that cheap either!

The only bastards who benefited are the landlords.

Social enterprise is really fucked up. It does not add value. Does not provide real value to end user like hawker and customer.
All we are paying is an inflated costs in food to upkeep the management of the social enterprise hawker.

Social Enterprise is a scheme to help the PAP supporters lah.
You see ah, a lot of schemes put out by the PAP makes no economic sense. It costs more to operate and then the costs come down to us. So, we are fattening the PAP cronies.

One example ...HDB used to provide all the services for estates. Then the PAP decided to have town councils. Instead of one entity - harnessing the gains of economies of scale in procurement - to maintain estates, there are so many PAP fiefdoms dishing out contracts to cronies to provide services.
What was achieved from that exercise? To maximise profits, these contractors bring in hundreds of thousands of Ah Neh to do the work.

So, treat every new scheme from the PAP as a way to funnel our money to their cronies.

This kind of business, the competition is for what? Location of course! Just like malls. Where else can the landlord add value? You guess is as good as mine.

Sinkies have a very poor memory, so they need to be constantly reminded.

The firms providing services to the PAP Town Councils are owned by cronies.

cronies must have grassroots connection

 

[JohnTan]

cronies must have grassroots connection

Just like those who had oppie connections won contracts with the aljunied town council.

 

[jw5]

Bestest type of grassroots connection is to "connect" with the mangoes.

This only shows that Sinkie politicians only talk cock!

Social enterprise my ass. $4 for a bowl of noodles at the food court. If u are really poor, u can afford meh?

Social enterprise stall rental ain’t cheap for stall owners either. And to force stall owners to operate at unreasonably long hours is just adding salt to the wound.

 

[Confuseous]

Ms Vivian should be stoned!

She should be out there, to announce the closing and explain why.

 

[congo9]

These operator are leeches. They don't add value. They are just a layer of fat that need to be cream off.

Let NEA run the whole thing again.
