I am not a frequent trade fair visitor, in fact hardly, but I do see them when I drive pass the streets. I personally don't understand the basis for issuing a licence or not.
1st, why do NEA allow food stuff to be sold in trade fairs whilst they are suppose to be very strict on food handling and their disposal? I can understand you wish to provide food so that people visiting the trade fair can have food while they enjoy the fair. However, most of these fairs are just beside existing food outlets.
2nd, some trade fairs are almost permanently at the same site. Might as well site up a permanent trade fair site for their function. Instead of town councils having to apply, why don't just identify locations for trade fairs and limit the types of things that can be sold?
3rd, aren't the trade fairs killing the business of those that pay rent in the shops? What is the basis for these trade fairs? Should trade fairs be confined to locations further away from shops?
Maybe someone in the know can explain why out of so many trade fairs now going on in Singapore, why Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East fair did not get the permit whilst all others have? This will not give a negative image of NEA.
it would never happen to any other GRC. same thing as hawker center cleaning issue.
Sometimes people think that things don't happen because they don't see or experience it.
we can only read stuff deemed right.
so when things go wrong there's no coverage
Some things is clearly evident of unequal treatment.
I just ignore such news.... am too used to it... especially, I am from Hougang SRC..... I have seem my MP more frequently meeting up with old folks, and go trips, and saw their activities, and saw Mao, Low, Sylvia, Huat more than I saw others....
If MPs meet up with a group of more than 5 persons at public places, will it be deemed an illegal assembly if no permit is applied for?

Talking about building a more inclusive society!
Sad that this type meaningless spatting/sparring continues.
We are victims too... as in the citizens... living in these petty areas....
Just some of the minor petty things that have happened that is not reported.
They tear down the market, closed the small industrial area, they remove our bus services, and they pull down blocks of flats because those rental flats gave the other party more votes... sold the land to private developer and build condo... and a NTUC was closed down, and ATM removed....
I have seen enough, and anyone who really cares for the People First... would not have done it.
Inclusive I believe, meant only for those with them....
I have mentioned before.... I have seen many left behind by them... so how can it be inclusive?
We suffer from the co lateral damage.
What you said is so true, bro Halfmoon
