Stallholders at Blks 511, 538 and 630 were informed they had to pay for scaffolding to be erected for the washing of high areas. They never had to in the past.
Stalls at Blk 538 were closed for 5 days only to return and find the high areas not cleaned and that actual cleaning took only 1 day.
WP MP Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap had to write an appeal letter to his own town council concerning the extra charges for cleaning.
All three food centres are maintained by FMSS, AHPETC's managing agent.
WP has failed to fulfill their statutory duties to the hawkers according to Secton 18(1) of the Town Councils Act:
"pursuant to section 18(1) of the Town Councils Act, all town councils are responsible for maintaining and cleaning of all common areas, including hawker centres, in Housing Board towns".
