Peter, your Singapore street scene travelogues have been fascinating. I visited Singapore a few times many years ago on business and truly enjoyed the experiences. The food was delicious, the people friendly, and the city unbelievably clean and organized. I'll admit that I'm sad to see the hawkers and street food sellers consolidated into hawker centers. I understand the reasons, but the Singapore street food experience was one of my favorite memories from those trips.
Thanks for sharing and please continue.

Peter, all of my travel to Singapore occurred between 1982 and 1987, and there were still a few street vendors in the park near my hotel. We sat on the grass and walkway and ate satay. Wonderful! Thanks for the reference link.Thanks Joe for your kind words. The consolidation happened between 1971 and 1986, some nearly 50 years ago. When were you last here? This Government website provides more details and important dates in its history.
