Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 3: Nadia Ahmad Samdin on sustaining the hawker trade
Many hawkers are growing older and struggling with both cost pressures and legacy challenges as it is not easy to attract and sustain younger players, said MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 4). She asked the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment to provide an update on its efforts to celebrate and sustain the hawker trade while carrying on the legacies of hawkers approaching retirement, given the lack of successors entering the trade. She also wanted to know how the ministry is supporting both hawkers and wet market stallholders to remain competitive in the current cost environment.
