NEA Guidelines on Hawkers' Mandatory Participation in SEHC Operators’ Charitable and Discount Programmes

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether clauses mandating hawkers’ participation in charitable and discount programmes organised by Socially-conscious Enterprise Hawker Centre (SEHC) operators at the hawkers’ own expense are prohibited under NEA’s guidelines for tenancy agreements between stallholders and operators; (b) whether NEA’s guidelines are publicly available; and (c) if not, whether this can be publicly released for better public education.

This question has been addressed in the oral reply to Parliamentary Questions No 8 to 10 at the 24 September 2025 Parliament sitting. [Please refer to ​"Provision of Affordable Meals and Other Contractual Obligations at Socially-conscious Enterprise Hawker Centres", Official Report, 24 September 2025, Vol 96, Issue 4, Oral Answers to Questions section.]
