CDC vouchers: some retailers excluded from scheme despite repeated appeals

[True Believer]

Since 2024, Ms Cyndy Kumuo has tried – and failed – four times to get her shop accepted by the Community Development Council (CDC) voucher scheme. She was told that her shop’s location is not within an eligible area, even though other similar businesses nearby have been authorised to accept the vouchers.

Many companies operating migrant worker dormitories are linked to People's Association grassroots leaders through board positions or business ownership. During the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, a report found that some dormitories with active Covid clusters were run by grassroots leaders, including joint chairpersons of Centurion Corporation Ltd who were grassroots leaders in Potong Pasir.

You also cannot compare a big supermarket like ntuc, sheng siong, giant, prime etc to a mini supermarket in the hdb area.
The smaller ones is not considered a supermarket by pap, so the supermarket vouchers cannot be used.

In S'pore, the CPIB needs to obtain the PM's approval before investigating PAP politicians and party members.
