CDC vouchers can now be used at Giant, Ang Mo supermarkets
SINGAPORE: Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers can now be used at Giant and Ang Mo supermarkets, bringing the total number of supermarket chains accepting them to seven.
When the latest tranche of CDC vouchers was launched on Jan 3, it was announced that they would be accepted at NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Prime Supermarket, HAO Mart and U Stars Supermarket outlets.
“Together, these seven supermarket chains offer Singaporean households over 360 outlets islandwide to spend their CDC vouchers,” Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling said in a Facebook post on Wednesday (Feb 1).
“This is in addition to the over 20,600 participating heartland hawkers and merchants on the scheme.”
The CDC vouchers cannot be used at the self-checkout counters at Giant supermarkets, the chain said in a Facebook post.
Among the S$300 CDC vouchers issued to each Singaporean household in the latest tranche, S$150 can be used at these supermarket outlets, while the other S$150 can be spent at participating hawkers and heartland merchants.
The latest CDC vouchers will expire on Dec 31.
More than 1.1 million Singaporean households, or about 90 per cent, have claimed their vouchers since they were launched, Ms Low added.
