SG Digital Office to encourage digitalisation among seniors, hawkers

Singapore

THE Singapore government will be setting up a new digitalisation office to double down on outreach efforts to the hardest-to-reach segments of society and encourage them to adopt digital tools.

This new SG Digital Office (SDO) will recruit 1,000 digital ambassadors by the end of June to help stallholders and seniors learn how to use digital tools - skills which the government says are more important than ever, given disruptions caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
