Residents can also check the queue length at each collection point before heading down. This helps to reduce crowding at the collection points. SINGAPORE, 19 AUGUST 2021 – Singapore households can look to forward new COVID-19 care items from Temasek Foundation, consisting of 50 medical grade surgical masks and 25 N95 respirator masks. Both have Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE) of 95% or better. With the more infectious COVID-19 variants, it is important to have better masks ready for higher risk situations. For example, residents with flu symptoms should put on a better mask such as a medical grade surgical mask to go see a doctor. It is especially important for residents who tested positive at home with Antigen Rapid Test (ART) self-test kits to put on medical grade masks, preferably higher grade ones like an N95 mask, to go to their doctor for their confirmatory COVID-19 tests. Ideally, those with symptoms with negative ART results or are waiting for their test results should do the same. Unlike previous free Stay Prepared masks, these are single-use disposable masks for specific high risk or high exposure situations, and should be disposed properly for hygiene reasons. Residents must bring their physical or online SP residential bills (in order to scan their account barcode), or provide their SP residential account numbers at any one of the collection points island-wide. They should also bring along their own bags to carry the boxes of masks. Collection starts on Thursday, 26 August 2021 and ends on Sunday, 26 September 2021, at over 130 collection points, comprising 15 select CapitaLand malls, and 116 participating supermarket outlets of Sheng Siong, Prime Supermarket, Cold Storage, FairPrice Xtra and Giant. Residents may go online to stayprepared.sg/masks to find their nearest collection points and their collection hours, as well as check prevailing stock levels. There is ample time for collection and plenty of stock, so there is no need to rush. 1 Available at 11 of the select 15 CapitaLand malls: Bedok Mall, Bugis Junction, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Funan, IMM, JCube, Junction 8, Lot One, Plaza Singapura, Tampines Mall, and Westgate 2 Medical Grade Surgical Masks and N95 Respirator Masks The surgical masks are high performance medical grade quality, and used in hospitals. These free masks are not intended to replace suitable masks that can be worn daily, such as good reusable fabric masks with two or three layers. Temasek Foundation is providing these free masks as standby stock in each household, to be used for specific higher risk situations, like folks going to see their doctors when they have flu-like symptoms. These can be used as extra protection on top of reusable or other masks. They can also be used at home while we are waiting for test results. Medical grade surgical masks come in 2 boxes of 25 pieces or 1 box of 50 pieces. The N95 respirator masks are also high performance medical grade masks used in high risk settings such as caring for COVID-19 patients, swabbing operations, and so on. These are not meant for daily use in general public settings. They are less breathable than the medical grade surgical masks, and provide excellent protection if there is a proper seal around the mask. They can be used on high risk occasions like when we do ART tests at home and find that we have positive test results. N95 masks come in 1 box of 25 pieces. 3 Who May Collect the Free Masks? Anyone from a household may collect the masks on behalf of their household, if they have a valid SP residential bill (physical or online). They can alternatively provide their SP residential account number. Residents may also collect the free masks on behalf of others such as their friends and neighbours by bringing along their SP residential bills (with account barcode) or SP account numbers, if they have been authorised to do so. Residents are reminded that it is a crime to misuse another household’s SP account number, bill account information or the physical SP bill to falsely represent such authorisation to collect the masks. Our collection points are equipped with security cameras, and Temasek Foundation will refer to the Police for investigation of any unauthorised collection of masks. Those who dishonestly deprive others of collecting their masks through fraudulent methods of obtaining their personal information to misuse this for personal gain, will be dealt with sternly and in accordance with the law. Collection of Masks from Malls and Supermarkets Residents may collect their masks from select CapitaLand malls, and participating supermarket outlets of Sheng Siong, Prime Supermarket, Cold Storage, FairPrice Xtra and Giant, from Thursday, 26 August 2021, to Sunday, 26 September 2021. Collection hours at CapitaLand malls are 11am to 8pm daily. Hours vary at other participating supermarket outlets. Not all malls or supermarkets are collection points, so residents are advised to visit stayprepared.sg/masks to check online for the collection points nearest to them, and their respective collection hours, as well as stock levels. Residents are also advised to “Bring Your Own Bag” (#BYOB) when collecting the masks, as the participating collection outlets will NOT provide bags. These masks will comprise one box of 25 N95 masks, and the medical grade surgical masks which will either be in 2 boxes of 25 each, or one box of 50. Collection points at the 15 select CapitaLand malls: • 11 malls with digital queue systems: Bedok Mall, Bugis Junction, Bukit Panjang Plaza, Funan, IMM, JCube, Junction 8, Lot One, Plaza Singapura, Tampines Mall, and Westgate. - Residents can get a queue number online via getq.capitaland.com. Alternatively, they can also collect a queue number physically from the customer service counters in these malls. - Residents can use the digital queue system to check the queue length at each collection point before heading down. - They will receive notifications when it is their turn to collect. 4 • Malls without the digital queue system: Aperia, Jewel Changi Airport, Raffles City Singapore, and SingPost Centre. Residents need to queue at customer service counters. Collection points at supermarket outlets of Sheng Siong, Prime Supermarket, Cold Storage, FairPrice Xtra, and Giant: • Collection kiosks will be set up at select outlets for residents to collect their free masks. Hotline and Email for Enquiries Please visit stayprepared.sg/masks or follow Temasek Foundation on Facebook for more information on this StayMasked initiative and other upcoming distributions. The 1800-738-2000 #StayMasked hotline is open from 9 am to 9 pm daily, from Thursday, 19 August, to Sunday, 26 September (except on Public Holidays). Enquiries or feedback may also be emailed to: [email protected]. Preparing for the Endemic COVID-19 New Normal Singapore’s nationwide vaccination programme has been progressing well. By September, Singapore is likely to fully vaccinate 80% of its population with two shots each. By early next year, we expect that paediatric vaccines may become available globally. Third doses may be made available as booster shots for the immune-compromised and possibly the elderly, to improve their immune response and protection. We also expect more types of vaccines to be available sometime next year, including new versions to target better protection against the more infectious variants we are seeing. Vaccination offers strong protection against COVID-19 for the individual, especially against severe or critical illness. A high vaccination coverage also slows down the transmission in a population. This is because if infected, vaccinated people are likely to recover faster and have shorter windows when they are infectious, compared to unvaccinated people. With the emergence of the highly infectious COVID-19 variants, we do not expect herd immunity with the current generation of vaccines. It will also take several years to achieve high levels of vaccination globally, even if more sterilising vaccines come along. Also, no vaccines offer 100% protection.

    REDMART SINGAPORE DELIVERING FRESHNESS AND CONVENIENCE WITH ONLINE GROCERY SHOPPING S/N 88-16-016 RedMart Singapore – Delivering Freshness and Convenience with Online Grocery Shopping Launched in 2011, Redmart Singapore is an online grocery retailer that provides a selection of more than 4,000 groceries and home essentials to Singapore households. Roger Egan, founder and Chief Executive Officer has aspirations for RedMart to be like e-commerce giants, Amazon and eBay one day. The company sees itself as a logistics and technology company and its mission is to be the “eBay for consumer packaged goods manufacturers” (Lee, 2014). What started out as a business targeting at the expatriate crowd has changed over time. By 2015, three-quarters of its customers were locals, working professionals, mainly women between 25 and 44 years old, and were likely to be millennials and Gen-X Singaporeans who shopped both online and offline (Nielsen, 2015). Fast forward to 2016, RedMart has more than 20,000 items on its online shopping site. It has launched the RedMart Relay service that provides personal shopping services for consumers who want hot meals, household items or electronic goods delivered to their homes within one hour of ordering. Although RedMart appears to have enjoyed rapid growth in a short span of time, it is still a young start-up company facing direct competition from bigger supermarkets and other online competitors. Despite its aggressive marketing efforts and investment in technology, RedMart’s chief executive, Roger Egan notes that many Singaporeans still prefers grocery shopping at supermarkets and wet markets over shopping online.

SSG is Singapore’s third largest retailer of groceries and household products with 9.1% market share. Store Growth from 25 to 37 Drives Top-Line: We expect SSG to achieve growth of 12 new stores over the next 5 years driven by a consolidation in Singapore’s grocery retailing industry. The rapid development of new Housing & Development Board (HDB) estates will further create new catchment areas for supermarket store growth. SSG’s strong cash position, debt-free balance sheet, and positive free cash flow from 2012 affirm its ability to finance store expansions. Shift in Product Mix to Higher Margin Offerings: We estimate gross margins to improve 228bp to 24% in 2010-2016F due to a shift in product mix to fresh produce and house brands that offer higher margins.

  • Survey to Understand Consumer Attitudes Toward Food Waste by F&B Companies in Singapore
    Report – Survey To Understand Consumer Attitudes Toward Food Waste By F&B Companies In Singapore Survey was conducted by the Chua Thian Poh Community Leadership Programme, National University of Singapore Abstract This study aims to investigate consumer perceptions toward food waste generated by the food and beverage (F&B) sector in Singapore. A survey questionnaire was devised and 428 valid responses were obtained. The results were analysed using SPSS and are presented in the Results section. The key findings of the survey are summarised as follows: 1. More than 90% of the participants are concerned about the food waste generated in Singapore and more than 83% of participants found it unacceptable for F&B companies in Singapore to waste food. 2. Close to 50% of the participants named NTUC FairPrice as a company whose food waste reducing strategy will be of interest to them. The same question yielded approximately 38% of responses for BreadTalk. 3. Participants are most interested in how retail supermarkets handle food waste, with NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant and Sheng Siong among the top 10 most named companies. 4. An overwhelming majority of the respondents stated that they want to see F&B companies „donate unsold, excess and near-expiry food that is still safe for consumption to the charities„ (91.1%) and „sell unsold, excess and near- expiry food that is still safe for consumption at a discount‟ (83.6%) in their bid to curb food waste. 5. Participants are willing to support F&B companies which adopt strategies to reduce food waste by helping them spread the word for their efforts (>80%).
