<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I AM a Pasir Ris resident and I am disappointed that the Elias Road wet market cannot be converted into an air-conditioned Sheng Siong supermarket ('HDB to Sheng Siong: 6 wet markets must stay', last Saturday).
My family shops regularly for fresh seafood and vegetables at the Sheng Siong outlet in Bedok Reservoir. It is open almost round the clock. The wet market, on the other hand, operates only in the morning. As a busy working mother, I do my marketing only in the afternoon or evening.
We find Sheng Siong's pricing reasonable and its products good value for money. Best of all, it offers live seafood at economical prices. As I am not well versed in selecting seafood, I find buying the product live the best way to ensure quality. The wet market does not offer much variety and quantity of live seafood. Moreover, the quality of seafood there is not consistent, especially in Singapore's warm climate.
The air-conditioning in supermarkets keeps vegetables and other products fresher. It is also more comfortable shopping in an air-conditioned environment.
Moreover, Sheng Siong offers good customer service, with its staff helping those who buy in bulk to carry their purchases to their cars.
With all its pluses, I do not find the items in Sheng Siong more expensive than those at Elias Road wet market. In fact, some items in Sheng Siong are even cheaper than those in the wet market.
Many of the newspaper reports seem to be against the idea of conversion of wet markets, but is this the view of the majority?
Given the lifestyle of most Singaporeans, I feel we need more round-the-clock fresh food supermarkets.
