林谋泉:没强制小贩拉长时间 惟小贩申请表格列明需至少营业8小时

蒙巴登国会议员林谋泉于脸书贴文,回应旧机场路小贩中心老顾客Gary Ho的提问。他澄清,据他向小贩了解,他们并没有被要求需经营过长的营业时间。不过,有网民立即上载表格到脸书,证明在职总富食客的小贩摊位申请表格,清楚列明需至少营业8小时。

一些从事餐饮业的网民指出,即便强制至少营业八小时对小贩来说也是不切实际的,并没有考虑到小贩在开档前,为准备食材所耗费的时间和精力。假设硬性规定小贩营业八小时,之前出外购买食材、准备食材的时间加上去,估计一天的总工作时间,恐怕都超过10-14小时。

林谋泉称,在昨晚结束与民会面活动后,还特地于昨晚10时30分亲自到访该小贩中心观察,发现大部分摊位已经收摊。其中一个摊位告示牌也说明营业时间是从早上8时至晚上7时。

“我不认为有必要让小贩们拉长经营时间。他们应可以自行决定要付出多少努力。”

林谋泉也再次重提,自己的父母也是小贩,清楚小贩们的努力,故此希望澄清有关Gary Ho帖文中提到小贩被迫工作过长时间的说法是不对的。

他说,他在傍晚时分向四名小贩了解,他们也指出职总富食客并没有要求小贩营业超长时间,同时休假也无需报告或被惩罚。职总富食客只是想确保小贩中心到了夜晚不会变得空荡荡。

反驳没有为小贩挺身而出

林谋泉也在回覆留言时补充,2017年,他安排职总富食客管理层和小贩们会面,本身也在场。

“职总富食客向我和小贩们保证,直到更了解小贩中心状况,将暂时维持现状一年。据我所知租赁条件没有变动,也没要求过长营业时间。没有小贩向我申诉如Gary Ho先生提出的问题。”

他说,每周而他都会在小贩中心楼上举办与民会面活动,小贩们若有问题可以直接找他。林谋泉补充,今年6月,小贩中心大清洗,他还参与小贩们组团到马国怡保旅游。当时也没有小贩提出类似问题。

“所以,Gary指责我没有为加诸小贩身上的更动挺身而出,这说法是不对的。”

网民上载小贩申请摊位表格,规定最少营业8小时

不过,名为林嘉良的小贩则要求林谋泉,应该先向职总富食客查证再发言,因为根据小贩申请摊位的表格,清楚列明小贩需至少营业8个小时,最长12小时。同时,在表格中也需选勾要每周休假一天、每月休一天或没有休假。

他说,问题不是在于职总富食客要求过长营业时间。但是,即便要求营业八小时,对很多小贩来说也不实际,因为这没考量到,小贩在开档之前的准备功夫和时间。

“对于烧腊或鸡饭摊位或许可行,但是卖面食就很局限与他们所准备的食物分量。假设小贩早上八点营业到中午12点,但是之前的准备时间是我们看不见的。很多花甲之年的小贩可以工作的时间也很有限,请不要强制规定营业时间,扼杀了我们的潜能世界文化遗产。”

休假要职总富食客批准

林家良表示,如果小贩想在每周休假日上多休一天,或是想提早收摊,都得向职总富食客请示,“请不要否认这点—这都列明在申请表格上的。”

再者,林谋泉说职总富食客不希望小贩中心到了傍晚变得空荡荡,但到了晚上比较无人光顾,也是有原因的。包括现在人们更习惯在家自己准备晚餐,再来就是手机叫外卖应用程序更发达,都是的小贩中心不再是吃晚餐地点的首选。

所以,现今小贩都专攻午市消费者,事实证明,出餐快的小贩和较高快的餐桌周转流量,使小贩中心成为用午餐的最好选择。他也质疑,如果说小贩不会因为违反规章被惩罚,那么为何表格中会附设这些条件?

林家良认为,合约中的条款剥夺了小贩的尊严,当大家把问题提出来时,环境局和其他建制派人士就变得自我防卫,认为这些条件“不那么糟糕”。“我期许在整个论争中能体现我们的务实精神,无奈每次都得面对这种固执、刻意的无知和诡辩。”
