Wet markets to stay!!

A small victory of sorts.

Now if we can only prevail upon the HDB to be sensible about the remaining19 wet markets run by private companies...

I think they said they'll remain in government hands.. but no guarantee that the government won't merge or close some down.. especially if there's low demand for the stalls

True. But I guess as along as they belong in 'gahment' hands, they will be subject to some public pressures.... at least for a couple of months until the elections. After that who knows?

Fr myself, I don't see y the fuss over the wet markets. They are wet, dirty, hot, somewhat less than hygienic, inefficient (in terms of manpower n space utilised) and often with unmarked prices. I've ventured to these places only out of desperation, never of choice. Perhaps have a couple of wet markets made into "living" museums to satisfy the nostalgic n tourists; re-train the store holders and then sweep the rest into the debris of history like the junks tt once cluttered the Singapore River.
