Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme Part II

Just find out from the HDB website that HUP for Jurong East St 24 was awarded to TEW KIM THAI CONSTRUCTION PTE LTD at contract sum of S$4,160,000.00 on 6th June 2005.

They have the lowest tender quotation. The ranges from a S$4,160,000.00 to S$5,743,800.00. Only slightest difference between the first and second lowest quotation, but 1,583,800.00 between the highest and lowest bid.

Bearing in mind, the rental will be increased for Cooked food from S$160 to new rental ranging S$320 -S$480 (100%-200% increase) per month. For existing rental for wet market ranging of S$56 - S$92, it will revised upwards to S$112 - S$276. (100%-200% increase.).
we will be expecting prices of consumed food to increase after the hawker centre to open. (if it can in time.)
That was one of the reasons of our cost of living is increasing.

Would it better not to upgrade or re-configured or Re-built Centres? Only time will tell. But I hope it will be delayed another 3 months or even more.
