SINGAPORE – Singaporeans will be able to enjoy cashback of up to $3 when they pay for a hawker centre meal using the DBS PayLah app on Fridays, from Feb 10. The programme, which will end on Jan 19, 2024, applies to any of the 11,600 SGQR code-enabled hawker stalls islandwide and will be available to the first 100,000 PayLah users from 6am each Friday. DBS Singapore group executive and country head Shee Tse Koon said that the DBS 5 Million Hawker Meals initiative aims to ameliorate inflationary pressures on consumers. Mr Shee said: “With persistent inflation and rising cost of living, we understand the concerns among Singaporeans and residents that their money is not going as far as before.” According to data from the Department of Statistics, food prices rose for the 10th consecutive month last December. Hawker food inflation, in particular, soared to a 14-year high of 8.1 per cent from a year earlier.
