SINGAPORE – Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre, which comprises dry and wet markets as well as a hawker centre, is set to close in the second half of 2024 to make way for an integrated facility set to be ready at the end of 2029.
Plans published by the agency in October seeking accredited checkers to ensure the structural safety of the project show that the new development will have a similar number of market and hawker stalls as the current market, which opened officially in 1976. Based on earlier plans, those moving to the single-storey interim market were supposed to have done so in June, said Mr Loh, 40, who has been selling soya bean products at the market for eight years.At a meeting with the Bukit Timah Citizens’ Consultative Committee in March, stallholders were told that the completion date of the integrated development had been delayed.
The National Environment Agency, which manages Singapore’s markets and hawker centres, said stallholders are given notice of a centre’s closure so that they can make interim plans, be they to take a break or operate temporarily at other centres. In a statement to ST, PA said that, along with other government agencies, it “had found an additional use of the interim hawker centre and market building, so that the project can remain viable as a whole”.
A fishmonger, who gave his name only as Mr Cheong, said he pays about $300 in monthly rent for his stall and will have to fork out about thrice that amount at the interim site.
