|December 19, 2025
Vulnerable Singaporeans will continue to enjoy savings on daily essential items such as rice and eggs until Dec 31, 2026, after FairPrice Group (FPG) on Dec 18 announced an extension of its daily discount schemes.
The extension will cover discounts for seniors, Pioneer (PG) and Merdeka generation (MG) individuals, and Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) Blue and Orange card holders, whose households have a lower monthly income. The discounts were supposed to end on Dec 31, 2025.
FPG was the first and only retailer to launch its discount scheme for CHAS Orange card holders in October 2024. The discount scheme is funded by FPG's philanthropic arm, FairPrice Foundation. The other discounts are funded by FPG.
The discount scheme for CHAS Blue card holders was introduced in 2021.
