With the enforcement of returning trays, the payment to the cleaners should be reviewed and reduced. They need much fewer staff now. This cost saving will help the hawkers. The 6.1% is bs anyway. More like 20% to 40%. My fav ckt has gone from $3 to $4. At AMK hub, it's $5! That's 25% to 66%. Just check the kopi prices and you will also see that it's at least 15% increase.
