Singapore
NTUC FairPrice has made a donation of S$50,000 to two charities, with the amount split evenly between The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF) and the Mediacorp Enable Fund (MEF).
The money was raised as part of the "One FairPrice Family" initiative, where S$10 was donated for every hour that FairPrice board members, senior management and staff volunteered at over 148 FairPrice stores, distribution and fulfilment centres during the Chinese New Year festive period.
