TANAH MERAH, 30 JULY 2026 (THURSDAY) - The Tanah Merah District Council has implemented the action of closing part of the hawker site in Kota Harmoni starting today. This step was taken after several hawkers were found to have failed to renew their temporary business permits and no new applications were approved.
This decision was also influenced by the results of the Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) Report, which showed that the area requires road widening to reduce congestion, avoid the risk of accidents, and protect hawkers from road dust pollution.
In addition to the closure, the MDTM is also planning the relocation of the hawker site to a more suitable area and implementing infrastructure upgrades for the comfort of the public and the smooth running of local economic activities.
