Impending Petition against WP Town Council by Market Stall-Holders



WP Town council seems to be getting a lot of heat recently. It started with the not so long ago debate about its managing agent and the recent dispute with stall-holders of several markets/hawkers under its Town Council.  

For those who do not know, it was reported that many market/hawker stall-holders were unhappy with the extra payment that they would have to pay for the cleaning of the market. The Town Council has come forward to explain but I find its explanation somehow similar to how PAP usually manages such resentment.

I just received an email hours ago by someone who is appear to be the affected party. It seems some of them plan to forward a petition to the WP Town Council. He stated that the cost is $400 which should be a rather petty sum for Town Council, I wonder why the cost could not be absorbed to spare the stall-holders from such agony and inconvenience. 

If WP is really concerned about its resident and the average Singaporeans as what it claimed during its General Election rally, then they should know what is the right thing to do.
