4 hawker centres may be managed by social enterprise or co-operative

The lease for four hawker centres will expire soon and they may be end up being managed by a social enterprise or co-operative. Some hawkers are worried if this management model would result in higher rentals.
SINGAPORE: The lease for four hawker centres will expire soon and they may be end up being managed by a social enterprise or co-operative.
Some hawkers are worried if this management model would result in higher rentals.
The lease of the hawker centre at Block 20 Ghim Moh will end on 31 May.
Tenants there are concerned they may then come under a social enterprise or a co-operative.
But the Ghim Moh Shop & Merchant Association believes a social enterprise may be better, as it can help stabilise rental fees and even set up new by-laws.
Philip Wong from Ghim Moh Shop & Merchant Association said: "The company which supplied us with staff who clear plates disappeared without a word. So that resulted in a shortage of such workers. These companies are not bound by any laws. We also cannot make the hawkers pay for such services. If there's a co-operative to manage such a situation, it would be more structured."
And this one...
