Every Singaporean household can now claim $300 of Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers, of which half or $150 must be used at participating supermarkets. The five supermarket chains that accept the CDC vouchers are NTUC Fairprice, Sheng Siong, Prime, Hao Mart and U...
That is why after careful consideration, the Government decided that the vouchers be split into two parts: half to still be set aside for heartland shops and hawkers, and the other half for supermarkets.“I hope all of you enjoy the added convenience of this set of vouchers,” said Mr Wong. “They will expire on Dec 31, 2023, or the end of this year, so do remember to use your vouchers before then and encourage your family and neighbours to do the same.
“We recognise concerns over cost of living, and hence are looking at additional measures in the Budget to support Singaporeans over the coming year, especially those in the more vulnerable and lower-income groups,” he said. The CDC Vouchers Scheme 2023 will continue to be digital. SG Digital Office digital ambassadors will be deployed at the SG Digital Community Hubs to provide assistance, and more than 50 Silver Infocomm Wellness Ambassadors will also be providing support at selected community clubs.
The 20,300 merchants and hawkers now onboard the scheme is also more than double the number when the digital CDC Vouchers scheme was launched in late 2021, she added. Mr Alan Lee, 50, who owns Geylang Lor 20 Banana Fritters at Old Airport Road food centre, said three to 10 of his customers used the CDC vouchers daily in 2022.
