1/ Having #Singapore hawker food inch a step closer to a place on the @UNESCO heritage list has provoked questions about whether we've done enough for the humble hawker.

2/ Hawkers do have a future in Singapore - it's just that that future might not look like what we expect, something hawkers and F&B, tourism experts agree, as my colleague @ChewHuiMinCNA reports: https://cna.asia/2IYxC1o
3/ Maybe part of the solution involves giving hawkers more autonomy instead of confining them to cookie-cutter structures, said @suss_sg business law experts Cheng Kwang Hwee and Tan Lee Cheng in a @CNA commentary some months back: https://cna.asia/3lS8052
4/ Hawkers cannot and should not be trapped by the past, says @NTU Nanyang Business School's Joan Henderson: https://cna.asia/2LBRtPs
5/ Part of the challenge is Singaporeans say they want to protect hawker culture but shun paying higher prices, something @sgSMU's Margaret Chan pointed out some years back. https://cna.asia/3nLMTBT
6/ And perhaps taking ownership of our collective national hawker culture can start small - like returning the tray after you're done instead of having someone else clean up after you, says mum June Yong. https://cna.asia/34CukIy
