The third tranche of the vouchers worth S$300 was launched on Jan 3.

“It's a really intentional design … to make sure that we wouldn't leave anyone behind even if we're moving towards a digital scheme,” said Ms Lee, the product manager for Redeem SG under the Open Government Products team.

Before the launch of the first tranche, her team, along with the CDCs, ran eight user trials to ensure that the vouchers were easy to use, she added. The team was also mindful about making sure that accepting the vouchers is a straightforward process for the businesses, Ms Lee said. The exercise required them to demonstrate to each and every hawker and merchant what the scheme is about, and teaching them how to install and use the app, she said.

Of course mah…CNY…

so where did all the promised trickle-down wealth go to?
