Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 4: Joan Pereira on supporting the hawker trade
Preserving Singapore’s hawker trade is a "matter of urgency" and more must be done to address challenges in the sector, said MP Joan Pereira. Speaking in Parliament on Monday (Mar 7), she called for efforts to lower the cost of raw materials for hawkers. She also asked how job prospects and working conditions can be improved to attract young hawkers, and sought updates on the Hawkers Succession Scheme.
