Most hawkers collect their ice cream and dry ice from wholesale distributors around the country. Lester Ledesma for Business InsiderLiang is one of Singapore's remaining traditional ice cream sellers and part of a bygone era. Buying one from one of Singapore's "ice cream uncles" is almost a right of passage. But Liang, Tan, and many other traditional ice cream sellers in the country find themselves working well into their golden years. In addition to the ice cream cart, the ice cream hawkers often also use big cooler boxes for additional storage.

watch nowSINGAPORE — Gig workers in Singapore face "vulnerabilities" that need to be addressed, said the country's senior minister of state for manpower. Gig workers face 'significant management control'The minister clarified that a legal mandate for gig workers is "not exactly the same as a union." That includes changes in matching and pricing algorithms on platforms that may affect the livelihood of gig workers. The expense-to-income ratio of gig workers was 112% in May — "significantly higher" than the median customer's 57%, DBS said. "Tripartism involves both government, platform companies in this case, and also platform workers in the unions … the three parties working closely together will form the foundation for that relationship of trust."
