Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 4: Don Wee on construction of new hawker centres
With the COVID-19 pandemic slowing down the progress of work in the construction sector, how has it impacted the building of new hawker centres, and will there be new hawker centres that will open in 2022? MP Don Wee, who asked these questions in Parliament on Monday (Mar 7), also wanted to know if there will be enough hawkers to man the stalls. He asked how the Government is ensuring that a pipeline of new hawkers is being trained to take over from the older cohort.
