Discussion | Beverage Container Return Scheme BCRS

Should increase from 10 cents to 50 cents?

Oh my god !
Did anyone read the article .
It is kids with autism that took the cans to recycle and make some money .
Be kind with your words about kids with special needs .
To the parents with special need kids , it is a remarkable achievement..
Imagine the kid can earn some pocket money, it brings immense joy to the parents and the kid .
Just be forgiving to people with special needs .
They are pitiful.

Yeah they look happy which is good for mental health.

While EDMW look down and become depressed bunch of people.

Work illegally under BCRS?
Make how much?
Earn $15 a day that's 150 cans a day
Let's say 6000 cans a month
Thats only $600 a month

The amount is significant for some FT because of SGD strong dollar. For locals, not worth the effort.

There are many ways for kids with autism or any illness to focus. And there are many others to report.

This report is mainly to garner eyeballs to a highly controversial project by our great government.

BCRS is so controlled and restrictive that by filtering it to BCRS, we achieve 100% recycle rate. What about the other non-BCRS? Dont acknowlege and thus no such thing exist beyond BCRS?

Shouldn't there be more money invested into educating the new generations and understanding it might take 40 or more years as these group of people grow up and understand the importance to have a place to live.

We should thank the govt for giving elderly and chewren a chance to earn pocket money.

Exercise for the seniors

 

[DragonFire]

Fools read it like a cup full or half empty problem.

BCRS has ENABLED seniors and children an alternate means of survival without relying on taxpayer dime.

Just as planned.
