This January, I co-published a piece with my friends at New Naratif, asking what hawker food in Singapore should cost if we want to ensure that hawkers are able to earn a decent living. I’m sending it out again today, in full, because I want to make sure it reaches more recent subscribers (and folks who just didn’t click on the link the first time round – who clicks links in email, after all?), and because I want to set the stage for an update I’ll be publishing in the near future (more on the coming update below). I’ve added a couple of clearly marked notes where appropriate, updated a link that expired, and corrected a few typos, but this is otherwise a verbatim copy of what appeared this January.
