Just nice for me, I was looking to replace a dead Samsung washer. Not worth repairing. All HDB households to get S$300 in Climate Vouchers The vouchers will be valid from Apr 15 this year until the end of December 2027 SINGAPORE: Families living in Housing Board (HDB) flats will receive S$300 (US$223) in Climate Vouchers to purchase more efficient appliances, said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor on Monday (Mar 4). The vouchers are part of the enhanced Climate Friendly Households Programme and come after an initial set of vouchers was given to households in smaller flats. "With these enhancements, we hope to incentivise more households to choose resource-efficient options from the outset, or when their appliances and fittings are due for replacement," Dr Khor said in parliament during her ministry's budget debate. The new e-vouchers will be available to all 1.1 million HDB households from Apr 15 this year until Dec 31, 2027. They will come in a mix of denominations and can be used to buy 10 types of energy- and water-efficient household products. New products – such as direct current fans, washing machines, air-conditioners and heat pump water heaters – have been added to the mix.

https://mothership.sg/2020/06/cdc-driving-lesson-plastic-partition/ Good news: Driving lessons at the ComforDelGro Driving Centre (CDC) will be resuming some time during Phase 2, which will kick in on June 19. Although no specific date of when lessons can resume was revealed in ComfortDelGro's press release, CDC's CEO Lim Tien Hock said they are looking forward to resuming operations once the green light is given. To ensure learner drivers feel safe during their lessons, CDC will be implementing some precautionary measures as well. Instructor Coaching Shield All 163 of the centre's training cars in the fleet will be outfitted with an "Instructor Coaching Shield". This shield is a soft plastic partition 0.8mm thick that will stretch from the roof of the vehicle and act as barrier between the two front seats. It is about 80cm wide and 80cm long. However, to ensure that the driving instructor is still able to reach over to the steering wheel or handbrake to guide the learner, the shield will not extend all the way to the front of a dashboard. The shield will also not obstruct the learner's or instructor's view of the side mirrors. This measure is an "added level of assurance" and to ensure learners are comfortable being in a confined space with the instructor during this period. Masks required during lessons Both instructors and learners are required to don masks during their practical lessons as well, while instructors will need to wear googles and wind down the windows too. Comfort DelGro added that the training cars, including the shield, will be disinfected after each lesson.
