Dear readers, I was at my favourite Bak Chor Mee stall recently. After making my orders, I asked the Bak Chor stall assistant on whether the stall accepts the CDC vouchers.
Before I go any further in this post, just a recap, the government has recently given each household $250 CDC vouchers for use to buy groceries and $250 for use on supermarket items.
The stall assistant said that the stall does not accept CDC vouchers and reluctantly, I paid for the Bak Chor Mee.
As I was making my payment via cash, I glanced and saw that another neighbouring stall accepts CDC vouchers.
I do not have the formal statistics, but a quick check at where I have been to, indicates to me that it seems that fewer heartland stalls and shops participate in the CDC voucher schemes!
If what I have noticed is accurate, then it is ironical that the number of merchants participating in the CDC voucher scheme does not increase with the quantum of the CDC vouchers.
I appreciate the $500 CDC vouchers as they do definitely help offset the high cost of living here notwithstanding that this amount can be spent quite fast in this climate of high cost.
That’s it for my insights today. I Thank you once again for your support of SG STOCKS INVESTING, your Money and Lifestyle magazine! Connect with me here to follow the daily exciting and useful posts on these two blogs, Thank You for your support!
