yes they earn alot,particularly so when they do not need to pay
20% of their earnings into a CPF account.
think about it,if the average price of a plate of food from a
hawker is about $3 and this hawker sell an modest average of 200
plate per day,that is already $600 per day or $18000 per month.A
few thousands for rental and a few thousands for the cost of the
raw food and it is likely they still have maybe 4-5k in profit
left
