Street Hawkers During Ramadan at Bussorah Street 1965
Open-air street hawkers sold confections on Bussorah Street during the fasting month of Ramadan. These stalls were a common sight in Singapore, and the government attempted to regulate them due to concerns about hygiene and traffic congestion. The street hawking trade only saw improvements in regulation from the 1960s to the 1980s, when islandwide checks and registration exercises were enforced.
