Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 5: Xie Yao Quan on affordable meals in the heartlands
Heartland coffee shops changing hands at record prices have attracted considerable public attention, said MP Xie Yao Quan in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 2). Noting residents' concerns over the ever-rising prices of cooked food, exacerbated by inflation, he wanted to know how the Ministry of National Development is ensuring that meals at eating houses in the heartlands remain affordable for Singaporeans.
