Hawkers scammed in govt's relentless drive to go cashless

[laksaboy]

Call me old fashion, it's cash and cheque for me. None of this cashless rubbish, wave this wave that. You can wave your money goodbye.

Cashless might be convenient for paying in restaurants, buying things online etc. But for simple hawker food transactions, it is totally unnecessary.

Must be the idea of some porlumpar technocrat who wanted to score points with Lee Hsien Loong's 'Smart Nation' initiative.

The simplest way to have cashless system is to allow Ez-link tap and go. If Koi tea can use that, why hawker can’t? Why need to show qr scan and all that nonsense ?

Cheating is typical chink behavior. I would be very surprised if everyone was honest.

The only thing straight about chinese are their hair

Grab has no interest in card base payment. This company now dictates PAP on how sinkies should pay.

I mountain turtle. I have never use the current cashless methods. Nets is the limit I will use. I 99% use cash. If sellers only have cashless device then they not fated to earn my money.

All you're doing with cashless payments is to create an extra layer of middleman services. For example, if there are payment disputes you would call the hotline to complain. You're adding unnecessary complications to your life.
