We are going to save the environment by building a machine that requires much maintenance and 24/7 electricity

[standarture]

KNN as usual whenever Gov wants to implement a scheme.
Seriously they should not only consult Singaporeans but also do a Pilot.
Today I brought a drink from Cold Storage Bugis I kena extra charge of 10 cent
which make no sense seriously.

Pay extra than desposit in the BCR machine to get back?
Which scholar idea is this?
This idea is

If customer didn't kena extra charge than it make sense.
But they charge extra is....
Can opt out or not seriously.

This scheme deserve to be boycott, I wonder Kopitiam etc. places.
How they going to charged? They will tell you for example $1.50 + 10 cents extra?
Some uncle and auntie sure complain on the spot.

I think the scholar is eggmy lol

 

[volarth]

Many people need to watch this.



The $0.10 is a smokescreen ... that is just the reward for your labor.

Prices before and after this schme have gone up far more than that 10cents.

Must had been a scholar who knows the human nature very well. They know most people won't bother to go out of the way to claim back $0.10 so the nett effect is gahment will pocket maybe 80% of the BCR fees.

Can't find stats on number of canned and bottled drinks consumed by Singapore but one site states that For Q3 2024, Singaporeans consumed 1.17B litres of beverages. If on the average, each drink is 500ml, that would be 2.34B can/bottles. Each one contribude $0.10 is $234m additional revenue per quarter, 1 year almost $1B for the government without having to do much apart from issuing the imperial edict. Even if 1/3 of the population does go and use the machine, gahmen still going to pocket over $600m a year.

 

[Mecisteus]

Don't buy lah.

So simple.

 

[matchy]

[sonicboyz]

A significant part of SG total beverage consumption is bottled water, no sugar one

The thing about Europe is they got car. They will purposely drive to the supermarket once in a while and do their marketing and return bottles.
