<TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR>Wet market closures - Govt should step in
</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>
<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to last Friday's report, 'Sale of five wet markets hits a snag'.
I wish to appeal to the authorities not to permit existing wet markets to become air-conditioned supermarkets. There are clearly good reasons to keep costs down for both stallholders and customers.
Furthermore, to strengthen the sense of identity and belonging among Singaporeans, we must make a conscious effort to keep, support and enhance the vibrancy, social relevance and affordability of specific elements of our traditional lifestyle.
