There's a huge difference between 我扫你 and 你扫我.

Imagine a fishmonger wearing gloves whole body wet wet need to entertain someone paying using CDC, while many people queuing.

I've seen it before.

What do you mean hard for the merchants? It’s as simple as using their phones to scan the vouchers. It’s not that hard. In fact, the vouchers has also been extended to retail shops (not just hawkers) where you can buy stuff. Of course, they will also be bad players where bai tian shu shu will use cdc vouchers to go happy ending massage.

Essentially, the money flows back into the domestic market through retail spending, and this indirectly boost the economy in return. Simple isn’t it?
exactly. many people dont get it.. just like the people who don't get why govts of respective countries indulging in scams will do nothing about their scammers

There’s no justification for limiting how Singaporeans spend their money, especially when they’re required to return a whole chicken. If all spending occurs domestically, it could trigger artificial inflation that persists even after the GE.

Beggars cannot be choosers. You wanna hiam the payment type then you’re not suitable to run a business. Imagine you sell bubble tea and your customers wanna pay via paynow and you wanna hiam cos need to check and verify? So you only accept cash?

Your "beggars cannot be choosers" statement is only applicable to the ones using the vouchers, not receiving.

I was merely saying that since they want to make this into such a big deal then it's time for them to revamp it.

I bet their initial plan was to do it only once, since the implementation was so shabby and insecure.

No. It is also applicable to the ones receiving it as well. The ones receiving it eventually also converted to cash and it’s also good for their business right? You saying now fish mongers so rich they don’t want to accept CDV vouchers cos whole body wet wet?

Revamp what? I feel the system is as good as it is. I think the one feeling insecure here is you sia. Give free money still wanna hiam.

By insecure, do you know how easy is it to sniff someone else's SMS ?

Do you even know how their QR implementation works ?

Once again, the burden is on the merchant and not on the end user.

Of course you feel the system is good because you are only thinking for yourself.

The hawkers that I’ve spoken to don’t have an issue with the QR code scanners. You seem to be the only one having issues with it like the one fish monger you mentioned. Lol.

huh so simple

the whole point of those handout is to both give out a bit of chicken wing aka money for you to spend, and also to boost spending and boost economy and create money (economy term]

thing is some joker use the cash last time either chiong jb, or buy from taobao

its just really capital outflow with no intended benefits they want

give vouchers force you to use locally which is really what they want
