SINGAPORE — More stalls will be added to the ongoing Ramadan bazaar in Geylang Serai, where rental prices of existing stalls have reached up to S$21,000, reportedly a record high.

The expansion of the bazaar was announced on Tuesday (April 5) by Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State for Home Affairs and National Development, via a Facebook post.

In response to TODAY's queries, bazaar organiser Wisma Geylang Serai said that another 20 retail and 10 food-and-beverage (F&B) stalls will be added from April 14 onwards to the existing 40.

Current vendors who spoke to TODAY had mixed responses to the latest development.

Though hopeful that more stalls would attract bigger crowds, some said that they had agreed to pay a steeper rental fee due to the initial prospects of lesser competition.
