Some food sellers who are just emerging from their two-week quarantine are calling for easier access to financial compensation, having had to throw away a lot of their fresh ingredients and lose revenue because of mandated stall closures.
They said the online application process - which should give them $100 for each day they are forced to shut - is too complicated.
Many also did not know how to start or where to go online.
Money should be more quickly dispensed to them, especially when entire food centres are being closed owing to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster, they said.
