SINGAPORE: Close relatives of members of the Pioneer Generation (PG) may purchase discounted groceries on their behalf during this circuit breaker ...
Starting this Wednesday, family members of Pioneer Generation seniors who shop at FairPrice on these days will receive the discount when they present their relative's PG card.
"To encourage PG members to stay home during the circuit breaker period, we are making an exception on the PG discount scheme to empower their family members to enjoy the special savings when they purchase groceries on their behalf."We hope that this - together with all our other current measures - will help to further protect and keep them safe during these challenging times," said FairPrice Group CEO Seah Kian Peng.
PG members will need to be present at the store to utilise Priority Shopping Hour, which is held every Monday during the first hour of each FairPrice store's normal operating times or 7am to 8am for 24-hour stores.READ: In full: PM Lee appeals to older Singaporeans to stay at home during COVID-19 'circuit breaker' period
