One vendor noted, 'Our business will drop by 30%, and there is nothing we can do about it...'

SINGAPORE: Hawkers in East Coast Park have reported a significant drop in business, with some estimating losses of up to 30%, following the oil spill at Pasir Panjang Terminal last month.

This incident triggered a protracted clean-up operation, leading to the temporary closure of Singapore’s eastern beaches. Hawkers at East Coast Park, who spoke to 8World, acknowledged the adverse impact on their business. Another vendor remarked, “It will be quieter. Sometimes it is not an oil spill. Sometimes it is just that they go abroad during the school holidays or it rains.”

Siloso Beach has undergone extensive cleaning, and tourists are gradually returning. A seaside restaurant at Siloso Beach reported a slight decrease in visitors, but activities such as picnicking and beach volleyball remain popular.
