First time hear you can touch and feel something digital. really ... why are there ppl who can accept this kind of nonsense and consistently support it.

And if want to give, then be more sincere. simi 50% supermarket, 50% heartland shop. let the ppl decide where they want to spend the money.

What a dumb shlt question - it's because people will use it to buy lottery/smokes/booze.

Maybe they realised that everyone spends in jb or in lupsup bar

Might as well then not give them anything at all since u can't stop them from spending their disposable money anyway. All these transfers, in cash or vouchers of any kind, only encourage excess.

Give voucher or cash to people who are not wise also same la. They will end up losing it by spending on non-essential and non-valuable toys. I got a shock when my friend said she cannot wait for the gov cash to come in so she can buy the labubu.

I see so many comments on this SG 60 vouchers but not one person has gotten it right thus far. It’s not rocket science tbh. If they gave cash, people will spend it elsewhere, go travel, go JB buy supplies etc, and the money flows out.

If give CDC vouchers, the money is ring fenced in Singapore. Essentially, the money flows back into the domestic market through retail spending, and this indirectly boost the economy in return. Simple isn’t it?
This basically is to restrict what you used.

why not give some vouchers that can be used for transport.
im sure its way better than simi nonsense lifesg or activesg vouchers where some ppl dont even use it. and we dont need medisave topup. all these money flow back to govt.

anything that can be used to offset the essential 'needs' expenses...

Voucher definitely better than cash but can increase the places that accept vouchers. And maybe no expiry date will be better. Money stays in SG and benefit the local business. If give cash a lot of ppl will use it on buying lottery or go JB spend.

In the end, it is just for their own benefits.
Dun need to come up with BS reasons on how the vouchers should be spent.
They also anyhow waste money on building a underground bike parking facility and end up failing.
