Kallang hawker centre closure amid redevelopment
A 58-year-old hawker centre in Kallang, Singapore, is expected to close due to a redevelopment project by the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Sport Singapore. Stall owners have received lease extensions only until September 2027, as the tender aims to enhance the area's vibrancy for sporting and lifestyle interests.
