It is for a heartwarming reason, though.

Freebies usually mean long queues, but second-gen hawker Bai Ruihai, 35, told 8days.sg that the crowd situation was under control when he opened his stall at 10am. “NEA came by in the morning and told me to do a number tag system so there wouldn’t be a long queue blocking the accessway,” he said.Ruihai borrowed number tags from his stall neighbours and handed them to the customers who were already waiting to snap up the 30 bags available. “All the tags were taken within 20 minutes,” he said.

His first customer for the day showed up at 4am, a good six hours before Ruihai’s stall was open for business. He was hoping to get a free bag. “He was probably in his mid-50s. I didn’t get to speak to him much as I was busy, but he did mention that his grandkids had requested for him to come by,” Ruihai recalled.

After transferring the money, the customer told Ruihai: “How many packets of duck rice you want to give out up to you bro [sic].”
