SINGAPORE - The Covid-19 pandemic has been a tough time for Madam Noraliza Abdul Rahman so the launch of an initiative – which allows her to collect food items twice a month – is welcome news.

"It helps us a lot, so at least my husband can focus on the other bills," said the 47-year-old housewife, who has five children - aged three to 12 - and runs a food business out of the family's rental flat in Jurong West.

To use the locker, they simply key in the last four digits of their NRIC number, or scan their IC, and select the set. He hopes the initiative will also reduce waste. Previously, recipients could collect only on pre-determined dates, and could not choose the items. This led to waste, as some wanted only canned food or powdered beverages and not rice.
