Former ward of Mdm President. Bukit Batok East one of a kind neighbourhood you cant find elsewhere. The kampung spirit is still ongoing.

this should be all around the world, everyone helping each other. less selfish less hatred and less greed.

Ironically the initiative was not undertaken by ntuc Coffeeshop. Fairprice was created to stabilise price and help the needy. But does it really serves its purpose?

Boon Lay already have it like 15 yrs ago, but poorly regulated, and partly funded by Rotary Club during that time. And it was poorly regulated in such a way that the recipient is left hungry without food when the hawker centre is doing its monthly cleaning. And some of the listed vendors dont accept the food vouchers and something collecting food is like begging. And from what the a listed hawker says is that they contribute 50 cents for each food vouchers. And different stall, allows you to collect different value of food, as some tries to profit from it. So talking about the poor taking things for granted? Think again. There is always a group of people that likes to exploit and make use of the poor.

@@dl5066 Well...not many people are aware there are a lot of people out there are exploiting and profiting from helping the needy and the poor. And many people think such thing dont exist in Singapore. But one very good example will be those so call food hampers that you will be asked to buy for like $10 to donate to the needy. If you really calculate the items individually. the supermarket that "partner" or "sponsor" the hamper actually profits from it. If you ask the Charity, they can only say, they can only open one eye and close another if they want to get a sponsor. And i noticed there is some social media based groups that is helping needy people for famed and content.

👍🏻very nice programme

private coffee shops doing it first cos RC approach them, why didn’t ntuc initiate it first? Funny right?

wah this is damn good idea leh , should make it available at all kopitiam area where alot of elders lived at.

I kind of don't get the explanation of how it works. Can anyone explain? Thanks

awesome movement

Can we pls do this everywhere

Why would a meal be 3.50? The coffee shop should cut these to cost price.

Then why gst on essential daily items for survival? My fren Gong Jiao Way say one

@@thisiszw Every cent govt needs is of course from citizens. But we are talking about essential items. All the budget surpluses if used just a tiny bit would have saved many lives. And the claim that higher gst needed is not independently audited to be true. Using your lame excuse, you can increase any amount you want . And don't use the lousy rhetoric by third grade IB to justify all the wrong policies. For example. Some IB will say, amktc corruption? It's nothing compared to Indonesia and Malaysia corruption. We not that corrupt yet . So should SG Decay to that level before you critical? Nowadays IBs are so lousy. I feel like having to educate you all you know. KLLB !

Repeated over and over again. If GST is removed from essential daily items, the not-less-fortunate will stand to gain more. What is being done currently is to provide GST vouchers to the really really needy. Thus the help is targeted to those who really needs help. www.singaporebudget.gov.sg/budget_2011/download/Transcript%20Should%20we%20exempt%20basic%20necessities%20from%20GST.pdf Of course, who decides who belong to this group? Is the criteria good enough? Nothing is perfect and we have to improve as we go along. For a start, why not make a trip there to belanja them instead?

It's to avoid this system being abused by those people who are not needy but greedy. As a donater I rather be sure that my money will goes to those needy instead of someone well to do but greedy. I am not very rich thus when I help, I don't want my money benefits those richer than me.

I would NOT do this in a DUTCH coffeeshop!!!

What is the source of funding these ? If its tax money, why is it related to grassroots which some perceive is a politically linked organisation? Will this benefit this party? If its tax money , the same funding should be given to Alternative parties grassroots also

Money are from donations of kind people who decide to treat someone in need at $3.50 per meal. When u queue up buy your own food n decide to donate, u just tell the stall owner n make payment n stick the magnet at the board that represents the food u treat.
