The Hammerroid Towkay has vowed to continue collaborating with the politically motivated NEA while shunning the hapless hawkers:
Low on hawker centre cleaning dispute: Let’s move on
http://www.singapolitics.sg/news/low-hawker-centre-cleaning-dispute-let’s-move
So, the Towkay has again put in all his ‘good faith’ in the politically motivated NEA for market hygiene and cleanliness while continuing to put in ZERO ‘good faith’ in the hawkers for their inputs in the market hygiene. Maybe, the Towkay still thinks very highly of the NEA for helping him to clear the midges even though it is supposed to be politically motivated.
By taking such a conciliatory, subservient and capitulating tone yet again, the Towkay has shown that the ‘good office’ of the Hammerrhoid Town Council ‘can be bullied or is an easy target to be used by the government to score political point.’
And by not engaging the hawkers, not even bothering to clarify the dispute with them, the Towkay once again shows that the powerless hawkers can also ‘be bullied or is an easy target to be used by the Hammerrhoids to score political points.’
大鱼吃小鱼， 小鱼吃虾米。
Finally, the question that has always been on the mind of the hawkers: when is the Towkay ever going to Grace their market again?
“WHERE GOT TIME! Ask me to go down? Why don’t you order those suckers to crawl up! Tell those hawkers to go and fly kite and suck eggs!” the Towkay roars back furiously.
Yep, how can these low-caste hawkers expect such a super lao-cheow to fly down from his ivory nest and stoop so low for these insignificant calafares? 没大没小!
Nevertheless, the long-forgotten hawkers may decide to dedicate this Teochew song to the high-and-mighty Towkay:
“忘记” (The Long - Forgotten)

忘记你已经不再回来;…..We’re so sorry Towkay, we’ve forgotten that You’ll never come back to us;
忘记离别你的无奈。.....We’ve forgotten that the last time You Grace us was so long ago, even then You appear so sibei reluctant to see us.
一去渺茫我心中的爱；..With You long gone, we’re so tiny and insignificant, to be totally ignored by Your beloved Town Council ‘good office’’;
今夜漂泊在天涯；……….Who has but abandoned our market into the dark wilderness, leaving it so unclean and so unhygienic;
秋风吹红了无数相思。..And when the wind blows the dirt and dust all over our market, it makes us to think of You even more so.
当我梦中醒来；……......Even in our sleep, we’ve always been dreaming;
是否此情解不开？……...When is our nightmare with the Town Council ‘good office’ ever to be resolved?
多少伤心的安排。….....After they and their contractors have made so many arrangements to hurt our feelings
历遍沧桑的我；…........But after being bullied so easily and so repeatedly by the Hammerrhoids;
为何还在等待？…........Yet, why are we still eagerly waiting for Your Return to Grace our market?
“Towkay, 我们会永远等着你回来！！！” – the hawkers.
“Towkay, please come back!.............. Please invite us to Your Dialogue!” – the hawkers.
