Every Singaporean household can now claim $300 worth of Community Development Council vouchers, of which half, or $150, is for use at five participating supermarkets. The other $150 worth of vouchers can be used at about 20,300 hawker stalls and heartland merchants’ stores.
The vouchers are colour-coded – teal for heartland merchants and yellow for supermarkets.
