Hawkers, food delivery players and other stakeholders from the industry or community can weigh in on how hawkers can digitalise and boost business sustainability in a workgroup the Government plans to convene.
Discussions will focus on concerns hawkers face and ways that they may be incentivised to tap food delivery platforms.
The workgroup will be chaired by the Ministry of Communications and Information and the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment.

The relief period for options to purchase and sale and purchase agreements with developers will be extended for an additional three months to June 30.
This will help buyers of residential, commercial and industrial properties who require more time to make their payments, following amendments to the Covid-19 Temporary Measures Act, which were passed yesterday to provide further reprieve for the built environment sector. The relief measures, which took effect from April 20 last year, are being extended for the third time.
At the same time, construction companies facing difficulty performing their contractual obligations from the pandemic will have an additional six months of reprieve, to Sept 30.
