Many small hawkers uplorry

[JohnTan]

You are a not a hawker lah. You are a towkay of a huge catering business who's well connected. I won't be surprised if you have either a PBM, BBM, or BBM (Bar). Or even all of them!

All F&B businesses started small, including McDonald's. We've survived recession and inflation.

@50000 pls refer to this

The main reason is inflation but they cannot simply up the price because government will go after them and asking them many questions.
Therefore those older hawkers just simply close shops.
Tekan by both inflation and government officers who keep interrogating them about price increase

S'pore has become far too expensive to open a small business, own a private residence and a car. Sinkies who are able to should move overseas. Get out of this overcrowded island fast or lose your sanity like farm animals living cheek to jowl.

There is a career path for kopitiam staff these days

I hope that we try not to patronize hawkers or restaurants too often and let all these businesses one by one closed down

For once, all of us should united and boycott all those hawker stallholders that you had just mentioned

That would be fair if the hawker charged me Kid's Size pricing for their tiny portion.

A hawker who was interviewed by CNA claimed that even though he operates his kopitiam stall 6 days per week, he only earns $1K a month after deducting his expenses.

Hmm ... not really true as they bought raw foods and ingredients are the cheapest that they could source. If they sell you a $7 meal, they can at least a $3.50 profit and the rest is depending on the volume (selling quantity). Normally they earn net $2K plus a month anything less than $2K must well go and work for a low salary.
