Wet Markets Are Here To Stay

Source : The Stratits Times, August 7, 2007 Tuesday

Wet markets are remembered as social hubs for many older Singaporeans living in HDB heartlands.

As shoppers picked up their daily necessities, they mingled with their neighbours and shared the latest gossip. Wet markets were a place where community was established.

On the other hand, young Singaporeans prefer shopping at supermarkets where they can find everything under one roof, in a clean, comfortable environment.

Looking ahead, HDB plans to build more wet markets in the future to enrich community life.
