This is to force all Singaporeans to recycle, for environmental sustainability.

That means each can/ bottle drinks will go up by 30 to 50 cents.

So similar to the scheme implemented in Germany. Unfortunately, unlike in Germany I foresee fights happening over empty cans and bottles. Stay tuned.

Thanks to PAP, Singaporeans are so blessed with drinkable, clean, healthy and free tap water l, why is there a need to even buy bottled and canned drinks?

PAP dogs know that they will sure earn this money.

If u go out to shop, will u throw your empty can or bottle into the dustbin or keep it in a plastic bag and bring home? Then on the weekend , throw them into the recycle bin?! Lol

in u.s. cans and bottles also cost extra with the recycling fee. ends up with so much fraud whereby recycling syndicates incentivise the homeless and their minions to collect cans and bottles from recycling bins at residences (leaving bins overturned and upended) and churning the same pile over and over again at recycling centers to earn hefty free cash in the millions per week. they present separate piles of cans and bottles for weighing at the centers, get refunded with state cash, then steal the piles at the recycling centers to present them and weigh again. sometimes the same pile can go thru’ the process several times at recycling centers before new piles show up. the loot is also shared with supervisors and workers at recycling centers.
