#Cashless society, just like in Venezuela (for the wrong reasons)
Singapore is moving full speed toward an entirely #cashless society.

Ada hati nak jadi cashless, most aunty uncle sana pun tak reti pakai e banking, ada yang lagi teruk nak bayar guna axs machine pun tak reti smh
Singapore is moving full speed forward but the citizens are left behind

I am NOT sure this is a good policy ! CASH = PRIVACY = FREEDOM

Also no chance to withdraw cash if banks fail like in the UK. Needs to be weighed up the likelihood of that.

I live in Singapore and this is a long way from the truth. It’s far truer of the UK and Canada, with contactless payment we needed NO cash for the 6 weeks we spent there.

This will be a disaster for the population but wonderful for the banks

After moving from Australia, I had be re-educated about needing a cheque book again. Have written 10 cheques in 6 weeks. Far from advance compared to other financial systems. Don’t start me about the pain to open a bank account (major impediment to having a cashless society)

Technology is not universally beneficial but the rush to embrace it is inexorable eg payments in electronic form translates to low privacy; you may trust the organizations responsible for handling your data but your payment information might turn up in ways to don’t approve.
