Amidst increasingly public struggles faced by hawker stall owners, as well as calls to preserve the UNESCO-approved hawker culture, NEA went ahead and increased the rent of some hawker stalls. KF Seetoh went public, but does he have a point? Is NEA to blame? Elsewhere, it’s been revealed that members of SG’s wealthy class are victims of a scam. Is that goofy, or is that a warning sign?

June 21, 2021 #174 - Should Singapore relax Covid-19 rules to retain foreign talent & seafood restaurant takes crabs for walks
As other cities open up Covid-19 travel restrictions, Singapore (and Hong Kong) remain strict, especially for non-citizens. But strict enough to make expats leave? Should we even be worried if they do? Is it fair for them to be so critical? Elsewhere, a seafood restaurant in Punggol allows customers to take crabs for walks before eating them. Nice gesture or marketing gimmick?
