Fort canning park family outing on national day! Happy national day Singapore. #fortcanningpark #sg53
Recently, i've attended many dialogues and discussions regarding the struggles and problems of our hawker scene. Today is national day and i would like to take this opportunity to share some of the pointers that we have talked about. National day is not just a day when we see how a country have progressed but also how we can improve as a nation.
For example, we talked about tray return. Tray return is being taught and implemented in schools but why do some of us forget after we come out to the society? We have seen our neighbouring countries surpassing us in many ways. As a nation, we have to change. Changing culture will never be easy but WE HAVE TO START! We have to stop being selfish and always relying on others to do the job for us. We should take initatives. Be good role models to our next generation, our future. Educate them.
Secondly, we have also talked about how social media can benefit or harm us. Refrain from cyberbullying. Use it to spread love. Genuine feedbacks are good but negetive comments wont help the cooks. I am sure if your feedbacks are constructive, they will take it positively. Food is always perspective. Be kind.
Thirdly, nowadays, new hawker centres that are built, are all managed by private companies and these premises operate more like food courts than hawker centres. The rent is 3k average or 15% GTO(gross turnover). And furthermore, you have to pay 3 months deposit which is more than a coffeeshop which normally only take 1 month. For new hawkers, the money can be used to buy kitchen equipments or use as cashflow. They will be comparing the environment and also how much they can make, putting the hardship aside. This industry is not attractive for the young anymore. They have to be realistic in terms of financial gain as well.
Different agencies have been trying their best to help but the real issues have not been addressed.
So, to the community that i can reach out to. This national day, when you go to any hawker centres out there. After you order your food, give them a thumbs up and tell them, "thank you for keeping our culture and heritage alive, you have done our nation proud!" Happy 53rd birthday Singapore 🇸🇬 Douglas

If there’s one thing all Singaporeans have a spirited opinion about, it’s food. Tonight, we're bringing the spectrum of our dining scene from chefs to hawkers and owners to reviewers to #StraitsClan, including @rishinaleendra, @pe3na, @aun_koh, @fishballstory, @rebeccalynnetan and moderator @jemnguee, for an honest conversation about the changing landscape of food in Singapore and its impact on businesses. Tip: Whet appetites and satisfy cravings before and after the talk at the bar on level two with our take on beloved dishes bak kut teh, dry beef hor fun, chicken wings and satay. .
