Blobs of food waste, eating utensils and even a tray were found clogging sewage pipes, contributing to recent flooding at Marine Parade Central food centre.
The situation at the popular 37-year-old eatery has got so bad that two of the ward's MPs have raised concerns. Acting Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin said in a Facebook post on Sunday that it is "a possible hygiene concern" in need of immediate action.
Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong said in a post the same day that stallholders have not properly disposed of some waste.
Both were briefed on the situation by the National Environment Agency (NEA), national water agency PUB and the Marine Parade Town Council (MPTC) during a visit there on Sunday after recent flooding.
