Tanjong Pagar Member of Parliament (MP) Foo Cexiang visited the market on Jul. 9 and shared some pictures of the newly renovated space on his Instagram.

He added that he met with numerous stall owners who were "raring to go" and were making final touch-ups to their stalls.

Other improvements included more fans, and a new landscaped area on the first floor.

According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), such repairs and redecoration works are regularly conducted to ensure that markets are kept clean.

Rent for all 342 stallholders was waived during the renovation works, and will not be raised as a result of the upgrades, NEA previously shared.

The last time Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre underwent a major renovation was eight years ago in 2017.
