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...

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.; October 24, 2009 at 7:37 PM
