what if the law is illegal in spirit? contravenes the spirit of the constitution and pays no heed to justice but to legal efficiency?Originally posted by NewAge:goes again the law = illegal
Then you mean its fair if others work and pay tax while some work and evade tax?Originally posted by ShutterBug:The farking logic in the system here is simple;
in so long as they can't profit from whatever you do for a living, you are ILLEGAL!
FARK THEM!!!!
It's fair to tax a worker or tradesman who pulls in some several thousands per month, but what kind of logic is there, to tax someone who hawks simple party novelties???Originally posted by Nelstar:Then you mean its fair if others work and pay tax while some work and evade tax?![]()

So other small businesses and tradesmen should pay tax and then suffer due to competition from non-paying entrepreneurs?Originally posted by ShutterBug:It's fair to tax a worker or tradesman who pulls in some several thousands per month, but what kind of logic is there, to tax someone who hawks simple party novelties???
It takes little brains to implement straight dead-fixed rules, but requires both heart and IQ to implement one that is FLEXIBLE and looks at one's earning powers.
Small time hawkers, cannot be comparable to small businesses.Originally posted by Nelstar:So other small businesses and tradesmen should pay tax and then suffer due to competition from non-paying entrepreneurs?
Your logic is obtuse.![]()

its because they dont make anything from it that it becomes illegal.Originally posted by NewAge:goes again the law = illegal
Imagine a fruit stall which is a family business.Originally posted by ShutterBug:Small time hawkers, cannot be comparable to small businesses.
A Hawker and a Business is very different.
A sword is never a killer, it is a tool in the killer's hands.Originally posted by ShutterBug:I wonder, what makes a thing ILLEGAL? Because our gov says so? Or because the products may be poor in quality and or unsafe?? Or is it simply, our gov could not profit form an unlicensed hawker???
What ?Originally posted by foomwee88:In Tw,they even encourage ppls 2 set up a stall for free to sell things during feative season.
I think we shd look into those PASAR M stalls set up along the road side organised by CDC and Rc.cauz i heard something seriou had happened in renting the stalls during the Hari Raya this year which warrented CPIB's involvments at Geylang S CC..
In order to reduce emplyment rate in Spore ,sg gov shd make the leasing of road side stalls more tranparent and affordable 2 Sporeans only!!!
they let a pte company to take the whole lot of stalls who then sub- let 2 an individual of more than 10 stalls each at say S$2000 who subsequebtly sub- let to unknown ppls for S$ 5k per stall each.Originally posted by charlize:What ?
You suspect corruption at grassroots / RC level?
because this government cannot differentiate between the two.Originally posted by T.Ryousuke:It take country interest into account. but slowly it become gahment interest.
When business are picking up it become cooperate interest, then safety come along.
Someone bring up in ST forum about "why wifi theft should be decriminalised ",
Which is much a cooperate interest on business point of veiw.
Illegal unregulated hawking can also lead to lower food hygiene standards, causing the spread of diseases such as cholera and typhoid.Originally posted by sunny6110:Illegal Hawkering will cause a dip in the rent of retail space... landlord's asset may reduced significantly... In short term... is bad for the economy...
In the long run... may not be bad for the economy... But u'll see a more chaotic Singapore... Imagine buying things to be faulty or fake and return to find out that they were gone for good...
This will oso have a black market... since the retail space does not belong to "zheng Hu"... local gangster will claim "rent"...
Disorder all over... tink over![]()
