The machine, electricity, internet connection, space rental, maintenance, customer service staff to handle refund disputes, and then the refund process itself taking 2 weeks. All this infrastructure for 10 cents. The cost per successful redemption must be ridiculous

It's not about the price of plastic saved

It's about the income opportunity

The machine is already outsourced to some management company.
If the project fail, it is none of cheng hu business liao.
If the outsourced company fails to do its job then the government should prosecute it to the full extent of the law.

Must think long term. There will be justification to raise it way beyond 5he current 10c once Sinkies are conditioned to just throw. 20c, 50c $1, $10 per bottle. Money printing machine

The trouble they make you to claim back the few cents not worth it, imagine how much they earn accumulating here and there :cautious:

the idea is to make you mafana to claim back the small money, but everyone else in the system making big money

Just from 5sen prastic bags they alr earn millions , which "trouble" ppl until sextent they rather carry a carton of 30s egg and some small groceries by both hands

These ppl think they saved the earth by 5sen , but some "entity" earn millions from it

:frown: :frown:
