Tekka Market smells worse than before, after 2008
revamp
STOMPer KT points out that even with the fake ceilings
and ventilatorsat Tekka Market, the place smells worse than before
it was renovated in 2008.The STOMPer thinks that the market should
be designed like thePek Kio Market at Cambridge Road in Serangoon.
In the STOMPer's email: "It's been a while since Tekka Market
reopened after undergoing a 15-month renovation. "However, the
condition of the market is really bad, especially with the severe
stench at the trash disposal area, which is near the food centre.
"I can't imagine the hygiene level there. "To top it off, the
revamped design of the food centre with fake ceilings and air
ventilators only serves to make things worse! "You just need to
make a quick trip there and your clothes will pick up the
overpowering stale smell! "Before the renovation, there was no such
smell!
"This left me wondering why can't the market be designed like the
nearby Pek Kio Market, with its tall, naturally airy concept. "I
hope the authorities can do something to improve the terrible
condition of Tekka Market and preserve the good image and smell of
this historical landmark."
