SINGAPORE - Cash has long been king but for an increasing number of people like retiree Bridget Khoo, the fear of infection from notes and coins is pushing them into the sometimes daunting world of digital payments.
A makeshift"minimart" has been set up at the club with small items like toilet rolls and hand sanitiser on offer. Seniors can learn how to use their devices to buy items before putting their skills to use at neighbourhood shops or hawker centres. They can also pick up other skills, such as using common apps like WhatsApp in one-to-one sessions with digital ambassadors.
Mr Iswaran noted that the aim is not to get seniors to completely replace cash:"Some will still want to use it in certain locations."
