FairPrice extends discounts for vulnerable S'poreans till end-2026

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.
