A Facebook user has posted a video showing a man apparently exploiting a beverage container return machine’s recognition system by scanning a bottle eligible for a deposit refund, then inserting a different container. Another user subsequently tested the same method, raising questions about a possible loophole in the system.

Lianhe Zaobao has sent queries to Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS), the non-profit organisation responsible for managing the Beverage Container Return Scheme.

Its the dumbest initiative ever. Complete waste of resources and money.

This department should be MOE. They should start educating people how to segregate their waste instead of wasting everyone's time to go Q up to return bottles.

Some people I know don't even bother with 10 cents and still throw away. Doesn't that defeats the entire purpose?

WAKE UP!!

Should train him as a hacker. Even I also dunno can do this.
There was already a thread with video showing this exploit in overseas before our local BCRS was fully implemented.

You didn't know the hack because you didn't see the video. Maybe the FW is spending more time on social media than you.

Hard to implement when half the population is not Singaporeans.
