1960s HAWKER CENTRE - MEI LING MARKET AND FOOD CENTRE TOUR

1960s HAWKER CENTRE - MEI LING MARKET AND FOOD CENTRE TOUR

Back in the 60s.. the government was still trying to get residents off their lands for redevelopment.. they are all introduced to the new public housing 8-10 storey tall. The needed a township kinda thing going and built this hawker and opened in 1970. Now that’s like making this place 52years old. Imagine half a century ago people were still living in wooden houses with zinc roof off the streets.. kampong days.

I couldn't find old pictures of the place.. but I only recalled that street side hawkers were still a sight all over Singapore till the early 80s.. so I wonder how did the residents take the new concept of a hawker centre in 1970? must have been like a modern day food court to them.
