  Hawkers are some of the richest people. Especially the western food stalls.

  yes they earn alot,particularly so when they do not need to pay 20% of their earnings into a CPF account.
  
  think about it,if the average price of a plate of food from a hawker is about $3 and this hawker sell an modest average of 200 plate per day,that is already $600 per day or $18000 per month.A few thousands for rental and a few thousands for the cost of the raw food and it is likely they still have maybe 4-5k in profit left

  haha ok,even if added,they still do earn alot.But it is really hard work to be a hawker.Standing up in the stall for an average of 12 hours per day.

  They earn ridiculously much.
  
  I think we are in fact overcharged for our food. To think that we slog and sweat just to have a meal or a nice cup of coffee, but we are actually paying for their condo and BMWs and Mercs.
  
  Where else in the world do you see hawkers driving expensive cars to work?
  
  And they still want to raise the price of kopi!!!
