How Singapore’s hawker culture started
Finance Finance Headlines News
In the lead up to Singapore’s submission of its hawker culture for Unesco listing, the official government website on the submission said that street hawking in Singapore can be traced back to the mid-1800s when street hawkers sold a variety of food along the streets of Singapore. The narrative leaps forward to the time period 1968 to 1986 when the Singapore government resettled street hawkers into hawker centres and markets. It is however worth taking a detailed look at the history of street hawking, especially between 1819 and 1968, to understand the forces that have shaped hawker culture in Singapore today.
