Stallholders at two Bedok food centres are seeing red after they were told to pay extra to have the ceiling and exhaust ducts at the centres cleaned - something they’ve never had to pay for before.
Hawkers at food centres at blocks 511 and 538 at Bedok North Street 3 were informed by the Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) that they had to pay for the scaffolding that is erected to facilitate washing of ceilings and high areas of the market and food centres, which is done twice a year. In previous years, scaffolding was erected by the cleaning contractor.
The AHPETC is run by the Workers' Party (WP). Full story
