FairPrice alerts customers to bogus $4,000 giveaway scam circulating on WhatsApp
FairPrice shoppers need to stay alert and avoid falling for a hoax online questionnaire that is making false claims that the supermarket chain is giving away $4,000. In an e-mail alert to customers, FairPrice warned that the scam questionnaire - making the rounds on the WhatsApp chat platform - is not linked to FairPrice or endorsed by it. FairPrice said anyone who has received the questionnaire should avoid clicking on the link or sharing any personal information. The bogus message promises a cash reward in exchange for completing the questionnaire - a common tactic used by scammers to gain access to sensitive data. FairPrice reminded customers that all official promotions and product offers are only available through the FairPrice Group app or its official website. "We will never send SMS, WhatsApp or other messages asking for your username, password or financial information," it added. Customers who receive suspicious messages can contact the FairPrice Customer Support by phone at 6380 5858 or e-mail their queries to Official updates are also provided on FairPrice's verified social media channels. Customers who are offered deals that seem too good to be true must remain cautious, FairPrice added.

Forum: Initiatives must benefit both hawkers and customers
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Minister Ong Ye Kung's clarification that stallholders at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre will not face penalties for not providing meals to low-income residents is welcome news ( Ong Ye Kung rebuts complaints about treatment of stallholders at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre, Aug 11). The episode underscores a deeper point: good intentions alone are not enough. For any initiative to succeed, it must translate into tangible benefits for both hawkers and customers. Hawkers are already facing significant pressures – rising rents, higher ingredient costs, and intense competition from larger, better-resourced players. At the same time, customers expect genuine value and accessibility, especially for initiatives meant to improve affordability. Take for example some hawker centres operated by the FairPrice Group. While they are commendable for including 'budget meal' options in their menus, these meals are often unavailable when customers try to order, and some stalls that are actually operating are not reflected in their app listing. If the aim is to make affordable options widely accessible, then such offerings must be reliably available and clearly communicated to customers. When policies are rolled out, they should be designed with mutual benefit at their core. For hawkers, this means ensuring schemes do not increase operational strain or reduce income potential. For customers, it means making promised benefits actually achievable in practice. Otherwise, initiatives risk being perceived as token gestures rather than meaningful improvements. Hawker culture is a cornerstone of Singapore's identity, built on the hard work of stallholders and the everyday enjoyment of diners. It thrives when both sides are supported and respected.

Sheng Siong to open first store in Orchard by end of August, Singapore News
SINGAPORE — Supermarket operator Sheng Siong is set to open its first store in the Orchard Road area at The Cathay shopping mall. A spokesperson for the supermarket told The Straits Times that the 6,500 sq ft store is expected to open by the end of August. 'Sheng Siong previously operated a store in the Tekka area, and over the years, customers have expressed their hope for Sheng Siong to have a presence in the central area,' the spokesperson said. 'The Cathay is surrounded by residential developments, and we believe it is a convenient spot for daily grocery needs.' Renovation works for the store were first spotted in May, when a Reddit user posted photos of the ongoing construction at Basement 1 of the mall. According to Sheng Siong's website, the supermarket currently operates 82 outlets across the country, with the majority located in the north-east. The supermarket operator recorded a 6.1 per cent increase in net profit to $38.5 million for the first quarter ended March 31, from $36.3 million the year before. Revenue grew 7.1 per cent to $403 million, from $376.2 million in the corresponding period in 2024. This was thanks to contributions from eight new stores opening in the quarter and financial year 2024, as well as higher festive sales during Hari Raya in March, the company said on April 29.
