Even one dumpling from 3.50 sgd goes up to 4.15 ,wat u think ,there FB cronies very happy ,lol

Wat is the justification for a doubling in rent?

I do agree that this is overkill and the landlords are being too greedy. Unfortunately, the landlords could have done their research and took the gamble that there will still be the demand despite the exorbitant increase. Like you see at the recent Hari Raya Bazaar, even at S$50k for a 2-week bazaar, there will still be takers.

The best is to vote with ones wallet. No hawker rent the stalls n no customer go there and eat

Faced with a doubling of their rental fees under a new management, more than half the stalls at a coffeeshop in Toa Payoh decided not to renew their contracts.


According to Shin Min Daily News on Saturday (May 14), six out of 10 stall holders at a coffeeshop located in Blk 233, Toa Payoh Lorong 8, will not be returning once their lease expires on May 31.


Some of the stallholders have been operating in the coffeeshop for more than a decade.


Out of the nine hawkers at the stall, three had already decided to wind up their businesses at the beginning of the year for various reasons, reported Shin Min Daily News. The last, a drinks stall, is owned by the owner of the coffeeshop.


After a recent change in management, the remaining hawkers were informed that their rent would be increased after a month-long renovation period beginning June 1.


One 60-year-old hawker, surnamed Yu, told Shin Min Daily News that he had received information two weeks ago that his rent would be doubled, from $3,000 a month to $6,000 a month.


Yu has been running an economic bee hoon stall at the coffeeshop for 30 years.

The rise in rental is in line with the low rental for the past 2 years because of the covid pandemic. The lowlife hawkers decline to mention this fact.

There will be new stalls and their business will be much better than the previous tenants after the renovation. It's a proven formula.

Most of these stallholders voted for PAP. They shouldn't complain.

 

[bushtucker]

Why don't all the current tenants band together and boycott the greedy coffeeshop management?

U think a bunch of clowns banding together will mean a shit? They don’t want the stalls? Others will take them.

Many of these stallholders drive Mercs, Benz, fucked Tiananmen Chiobus, big spenders at hang flowers joints and weekend horse racing.

All pretend to be frugal, poor, earn no money blah blah bullshit.

Clearly you don’t understand how things work. HDB under govt control so what? It’s the private operators who overpay to bid for coffee shops and they control the rental cost!

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/co...portfolio-of-food-outlet-properties-for-s558m
CATALIST-LISTED coffeeshop consolidator Kimly has agreed to acquire a S$55.8 million portfolio of food outlet properties, comprising four coffeeshops, three industrial canteen units and a restaurant unit.

May I ask how private is private?

Fuck the cb landlord. If no takers for the stalls for the next one year, they can close down the kopitiam and convert it to something else.

Greed

Up Up all the way ! Thanks to the 61% !

Najib using State's money is called public fund. Najib give wife money is called private fund. When the two put together, is called ponzi. If TPY stalls are not closing down, I worry for them.

Don't be surprised if u discover some grassroots members inside the new mgt like the Foreign Workers Dormitory.
