But some hawkers are sceptical about the temporary measure.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s going to do quality checks on this temporary system? If it spoils or isn\u2019t good enough, we will have to wait again,\u201d said Mr Chew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exhausted after working in the punishing heat the past week, Mr Chew will be closing his stall until Saturday to rest. The food centre was also closed on Monday and Tuesday for cleaning.<\/p>\n
Others are more sanguine. \u201cAs long as the temporary exhaust works, I\u2019m okay. If not, the heat would be concentrated in one corner of the shop, and it can get really hot,\u201d said Ms Tong Yi Qin, owner of Tai Hwa Traditional Coffee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
