SINGAPORE - About two years ago, Mr Willie Goh, a hawker at Tekka Market and Food Centre, experienced a clogged drain at his stall.
Among the other changes are new flooring, fresh paint, new tables and chairs, upgraded toilets and a new smoking point. Mr Nejamdeen, who took the opportunity in the last three months to travel to India and Malaysia, is looking forward to returning to business as usual at the new-look Tekka on Sunday.Even so, the lack of space in front of his stall remains an unresolved issue that results in congestion from people walking and queueing, added Mr Nejamdeen.
“Previously, many would come in to look for food and there would be a lot of droppings. Now there is a netting and I hope this will make things better,” the 60-year-old said.Anti-bird spikes have also been installed at the popular market. ST PHOTO: BRIAN TEO
