Meet-the-People sessions (MPS) for Aljunied GRC, Sengkang GRC and Hougang SMC run by Workers’ Party will be continue for the benefit of senior residents and those who cannot connect online, while requesting residents with pressing concerns or matters to connect online via the respective Members of Parliament (MPs) email addresses.

The party wrote, “In view of the increased concern about COVID-19 cases in the community, Workers’ Party MPs request all residents to connect with us online at our respective email addresses should you have any pressing concerns or matters to discuss with us.”

“Unless otherwise advised, we will continue with our physical Meet-the-People sessions, so as to remain available to our senior citizen and elderly residents, including residents who cannot connect online. We will take added precautions at our MPS locations; and operate with a thinner volunteer pool.”

The party also states that its MPs will suspend house visits till further notice.

This announcement follows the latest change to the control measures announced by the Multi-Ministry COVID-19 Task Force in light of the increase of community cases in Singapore.

People’s Action Party advises its Members of Parliament to suspend MPS

The People’s Action Party (PAP) has earlier advised its branches to hold MPS virtually or by phone.

“This is to minimise exposure of residents and volunteers,” the party said in a news release on Sunday (2 May).

Following that, several Members of Parliament (MPs) from the People’s Action Party (PAP) announced the suspension of their physical MPS with their GRC/SMC residents.

竞消委会称职总创优收购Kopitiam不违反竞争法令

新加坡竞争与消费者委员会今日宣布,职总创优企业合作社(NTUC Enterprise)收购Kopitiam集团的举动,不触犯竞争法令。 在文告中,竞消委会指经咨询利益相关者,评估所有相关讯息后,认为上述新加坡餐饮市场的竞争,会因为上述并购而大幅减少。 竞消委会认为,职总创优和Kopitiam都不算是最相近的竞争对手,仍有其他强大竞争者如口福集团、Food Junction、美食共和国、金味和大路(Broadway)等餐饮业巨头。 竞消委会也指出,在环境局的监督下,职总创优和Kopitiam个别管理着2011年后建设的其中四家小贩中心,但全国有114间小贩中心。 对此,竞消委会认为由两家合并公司管理的小贩中心对比全国小贩中心总数“相对较少”,故此削弱小贩中心摊位租赁市场竞价能力的“可能性微乎其微”。 竞消委会也不认为,两大集团合并后,有能力阻拦其他竞争对手进入市场,或者有能力强制其他业者或小贩,使用他们的中央厨房和供应链网络。 职总创优在今年9月21日,宣布拟议收购本地咖啡店和小贩中心运营商Kopitiam集团。竞消委会对此曾邀请公众对上述并购提供反馈,公共咨询活动直到10月12日结束。 至于职总创优也在今日发文告,欢迎竞消委会的裁定,并透露预料将再明年一月完成并购计划。 据了解,收购完成后,职总创优旗下的职总富食客和Kopitiam,将个别独立运营,现有管理团队和员工不会更动。Kopitiam客户也能继续在各分行使用优惠卡。 职总创优企业合作社也有意扩大禾园(Rice…
