MKT353 Govt launched an online survey seeking views on how to rejuvenate heartland shops National Development Minister: Retail Management Assignment, SUSS

Question 1
Govt launched an online survey seeking views on how to rejuvenate heartland shops National Development Minister, Mr. Desmond Lee, said “The heartland shops in our housing estates provide a convenient and affordable option for us to buy our daily essential goods and services. They also reflect the distinctive character and identity of our neighborhood. There are trades or local food unique to shops in specific neighbourhoods, which make them especially endearing. I’m sure many of us take great pride in introducing friends and family to well-known shops and popular eateries in our neighbourhood, including favourite bubble tea or confectionary shops.

Beyond this, heartland shops serve as a social glue for the community. They are spaces where residents can meet and interact with one another. These shops, especially social enterprises, can also provide opportunities for local and inclusive employment for the community, or even a space for budding entrepreneurs.

As Singaporeans’ needs evolve, we must explore ways to continually rejuvenate and refresh our heartland shops, so that they remain relevant, vibrant and endearing to our community. This is especially so in the face of the rise of online shopping”.
