Hawker culture in Singapore has been inscribed as Singapore's first element on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

But, decades of culinary expertise are at risk of fading, as experienced hawkers gradually retire over the years and fewer new hawkers join the scene.

Just recently, Members of Parliament on both sides of the aisle voted in favour of an amended Progress Singapore Party motion, calling on the government to continue the government's support for hawkers and to grow Singapore’s hawker culture.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Yeo Wan Ling, Assistant Secretary-General & Director, U SME and Women & Family Unit at NTUC shares her insights.
