From offering free labour to free social media platforms, more Singaporeans are coming up with ground-up initiatives to #savefnbsg during the circuit breaker period. These include ProjectCBK (Circuit Breaker Kooks), a joint effort by Mr Dylan Ong, owner of The Masses...

Mr Kai Koh, director of Cantonese roast meat restaurant Fook Kin, told TNP:"It is really helpful because we are currently lacking manpower, and these culinary students help with the basics such as preparing ingredients and making rice and noodles."

Mr Ong added:"The younger generation are really showing their love for hospitality and the food business. They are willing to help for free, it is very meaningful and I am touched."The owner of Jin Ji Teochew Braised Duck & Kway Chap created Facebook group Hawkers United - Dabao 2020, with the aim of showcasing all hawkers who are offering delivery and takeaway services so that customers can search for them easily. It currently boasts more than 200,000 members.

The process ensures that business owners who have not had prior experience with online operations are still able to list on Carousell for increased visibility and thus be able to provide on-demand takeaway services without having to pay a premium or commission to external vendors. Liang Guang Seafood Soup owner Wei Cheng:"Many food stall owners like us are not equipped for delivery services, so we can work with only what we have to reach out to the neighbourhood.

"We really appreciate Carousell's initiative to provide a platform. Any visibility during this time is extremely important and we are banking on local support from those around us."

Keep all supermarkets open 24/7 to spread out the crowds during circuit breaker periodAs most non-essential shops and businesses are closed during this circuit breaker period, Singaporeans are heading to supermarkets to buy groceries and other things they need. I agree with this article. The supermarkets are way too crowded during regular opening hours. I wouldn't mind shopping after midnight if that's what it takes for me not to jostle with crowds. So that they can charge&/ increase delivery costs Fat hope. Workers overstretched, fall sick etc. High cost of running business. Lesser ppl after midnight. Btw covid19 is 24/7 active.
