It was the last day of Sungei Road Flea Market. From this weekend, some of the vendors would have no choice but to set up temporary stalls at Golden Mile Tower - "so that we can continue with some hope in our lives. So that we will not be put in a situation where we have nothing to do and get into depression". "This new temporary market will be called Sungei Market. Sungei Market will not only consist of the vendors here; We hope to include the youths and entrepreneurs as vendors too. So that we can learn new things from each other and create a more exciting market... Tonight, Sungei Road Market may have lost the road, but we hope that the Sungei spirit can continue with Sungei Market".

The Sungei Road Market association have secured a new site for the vendors to operate similar to Sungei Road, the sixth floor of Golden Mile Tower's carpark. According to association chairman Koh Eng Khoon, about 100 of 200 vendors have expressed interest in moving there. The market has also been renamed Golden Mile Tower Sungei Market, he added. Mr Koh had been trying to find a place for all the Sungei Road vendors to peddle their wares for the past two years. The new site is set for a relaunch on Saturday.

Business owners at Golden Mile hired shuttle buses for their Thai workers to go to the Royal Thai Embassy to pay their respects to the late King Bhumibol Adulyad last Sunday (Oct 16).
