The corporation is in dearth of funds but is loosing revenue here which is easily collected. The corporation has increased the property tax by 15% but has not increased the hawker fee.

Corporators and officials who did not want to be quoted said that there is big political lobby behind the rent collecting business and they will land in trouble if they spoke of the matter openly.
