Our hawker centre cum wet market at Jurong East was closed for HUP from July 2005 and to be completed by April 2006.
From the day one till this year January, we only could see less workers and supervisors working(around 10-20), work done such the roof being hacked away and new rubbish centre.
After the Lunar New Year, as the days drew nearer to completion day, then there was a lot of activities. Sub-contractors from main contractor's were being called to rush to complete. They have only two months' time.
There are still alot of work to be done: tiling, rewiring,new roof, painting. The list can goes on and on..
Wondered whether they can handover to the HDB on time.
Note: The upgrading is mainly designed to improve the facilities, especially ventilation, at the hawker centres. Standard upgrading included re-tiling, replacement of tables and stools as well as improvement in facade, roofing, electrical, exhaust and plumbing systems. The toilets and bin centres will also be upgraded. Reconfiguration or rebuilding included extensive work will be carried out to redesign the layout, incorporating additional fire safety features and, where possible, the stalls will be made larger.

Upgrading of such facilities always mean higher rental for hawkers ;p
and loss of customers to other places and much delay as well..cheers
