Lower rentals and all halal food at Geylang Serai HariRaya Bazaar this year
SINGAPORE - It will cost 30 per cent less to rent a stall at the popular Hari Raya Bazaar at Geylang Serai this year with the price per stall capped at $14,000.
Announcing the rental cap on Thursday , Mayor of South East District Dr Maliki Osman, said he is counting on operators to pass on the savings with rents slashed. The bazaar this year will run from May 3 to June 5 and will have between 500 and 700 stalls set up at areas surrounding the newly launched Wisma Geylang Serai, a Malay-Muslim social and cultural heritage hub which will be organising the event.The total area occupied would be reduced slightly said Dr Maliki, but he added the focus is on the quality of stalls.
Wisma Geylang Serai said following feedback from visitors that the annual Ramadan mega-event last year featured many stalls selling"hipster" food, most stalls at this year's bazaar will sell traditional Hari Raya goods related to the Malay culture.The organisers said about 60 per cent of the food stalls, and 80 per cent of the non-food stalls, will focus on traditional Malay items.
