    • Those of you who patronize the stalls there, be ready to go to the temp location for they are making preparation to move there.   Temp location: the field in race course road.    Don't know when this will take place.

      Tekka Centre to close for upgrading and will re—open in late 2009

      SINGAPORE: The Tekka Centre, which is located at Blk 665, Buffalo Road, will close for upgrading on 1 May 2008 till the third quarter of 2009.

      It will be given a makeover under the National Environment Agency (NEA)’s Hawker Centres Upgrading Programme (HUP).

      The market cum hawker centre was built in 1980 and has become a tourist attraction over the years.

      NEA said the upgraded centre will be more accessible as there will be provisions such as escalators, lifts and wider passageways for the elderly and handicapped. The centre’s total seating capacity will also be increased after the upgrading.

      During the upgrading period, about half of the stallholders will continue their business operations at a temporary centre located between Northumberland Road and Race Course Road.

      Most of the remaining stallholders have decided to rest during the upgrading period.

      The NEA manages 112 markets/food centres. To date, 62 markets/food centres have been upgraded. The centres currently undergoing upgrading include Blk 335 of Smith Street and Geylang Serai Market. — CNA/vm

      Prices will definitely go up and this I believe is one of the major reasons why pap want to renovate food centres.

    • Renovation is good for the gahmen PAP.  After renovation PAP can say that with the money they spent on renovation, the rental rates must go up.   and thereafter we suffer for paying more.  

      the prawn noodles standard has dropped and i have stopped eating.   this stall is manned by the old man, formerly the wife used to help him.
