Scanning is like normal scanning of QR codes. But more inconvenient. All the old folks I met prefer vouchers.

REPEAT FAILURE OF $100/** REDISCOVERY VOUCHERS.!!

RESIDENTS/STALL HOLDERS OUGHT TO BE GIVEN A CHOICE USING PAPERS OR DIGITAL VOUCHERS. THOSE OLD HAWKERS /SHOP KEEPERS ARE AT A DISADVANTAGE.

They have a choice. But they have to use QR code paper vouchers instead of just the normal voucher. People can go to their CC to claim the paper QR vouchers instead of using the digital vouchers. Most, if not all, of my elderly neighbours had done that.

They is however a disadvantage with the paper QR code vouchers. If they get wrinkled or creased, they cannot be scanned and the voucher will be deemed unusable. Most probably, they will have to be downloaded as digital vouchers to be used instead which makes it inconvenient or impossible for my elderly neighbours.

I think that this digital voucher idea is stupid.

What for go around trying? Those that accept will display a sign with "CDC Vouchers Accept". They just use phone to scan, no need expensive equipment. I have change my vouchers into $100 cash from a shop I buy often. He told me best are those who did not cut the vouchers into small pieces because the big A4 size paper with many vouchers easier to scan... Rolleyes

Their income will be tracked, who so stupid want to use them. Rotfl

Must Chu a bit pattern…

You want cheap, green, ho-chiak and tua liap nee then bo-pian lah. Use them to by fresh meat and fish from wet market or change into cash like me.... Rolleyes

Sometimes the laziness of our small time business owners amazes me as well. My sister in law just set up her shop to accept digital vouchers. All it really takes is go online and register with basic information like shop address, entity name, whole registration is 3 - 5 minutes.

Then they will send a staff down to your stall to help you setup the app which is a straightforward process with basic information like UEN, PayNow account etc. Again whole setup about 10 minutes.

I can understand a very small minority of IT illiterate senior citizen hawkers or stall owners might face some challenges, but for the rest who are too lazy to even invest 15 minutes of your time to setup something that can boost business instantly I really have nothing to say. I was asking whether the cake shop I patronize accept the vouchers, the owner lady about 40+ years old went into a tirade about how stupid and troublesome digitalization is and defended her decision not to accept.

I asked her does she even know what the process is, turns out she didn't even bother to find out. Most comical thing is she even admitted to me CDC staff visited her shop previously to help her setup on the spot, but she claims she's busy and had no time for them. I could have bought $10 worth of stuff if she had accepted the vouchers, but I ended up only buying a $1.50 bread. Idiocy beyond redemption.

That is why whoever come up with this stoopid idea of using e.voucher. Make it so difficult for the people to use and also difficult for the stallholders.

Actually I have two hawkers willing to change - a fruit seller and a flower seller............ Big Grin

Some hawkers just wanna collect hard cold cash during a transaction.

Quite unbelievable that they are prepared to give you solid $100 cash. Lucky you!

There must be a catch? Do they receive $110 from the authorities??

These two no catch because long time buying from them. I think if with catch like all vouchers change for $90, there must be quite a lot of willing hawkers..... Big Grin

Why would they want to go that?? Maybe gahmen give them incentives to accept vouchers. So they buy from you and then just scan the vouchers to get more from gahmen.

Dun think got incentive from govt. If got incentive, many hawkers will offer customers for change liao. These two are just helping me ..... Big Grin

i believe those who say not ready to accept will not accept in the future as no need to spend on new scanner investmt just use their hp to scan.
when others alredy can accept why say not ready?

bullshit reason.

Your vouchers are digitally downloaded into your phone or hard copy from CC? .... Thinking

A lot of the elderly in my neighbourhood don't even have smartphones (not because they don't want to keep up with the times but because they need to be frugal with their savings). So they have to queue at the CC to get the paper versions.

One guy quite unlucky. His paper voucher got wrinkled and so cannot be scanned. I dunno what happened next. Maybe can get updated once I meet him again.
