Record bid for Marine Parade hawker stall: High tender prices not the norm, says Koh Poh Koon - Channel News Asia

Quick Summary:

The median successful tender price for cooked food stalls across hawker centres was about S$1,800 in 2023, said the Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment.

MP Yip Hon Weng (PAP-Yio Chu Kang) asked whether the bids pointed to a trend of rising hawker stall rentals and what impact this would have on the affordability of food.

"Overall, this is a very popular centre as it is open for three meals throughout the day and has good footfall, especially given the recent opening of a new MRT station and additional developments that are near this centre," said Dr Koh, referring to the opening of Marine Parade MRT station just beside the hawker centre on Jun 23.
