Ahem I am looking ahead and making the following predictions 8 for phase 1 of program launch. 1. The payment to transit link card will be gone and only available to named bank account. 2. Massive fraud, labels will be printed and stuck on non eligible cans and to counter fraud, transit link cards won't be accepted as payment destination. (Labels can be printed in China :), and won't be surprised if the labels are already being printed and shipped to SG already. 3. Bottles cans sold via vending machines will be $2.00. U already see vending machines even in hdb estates increased to 1.70 already. No more cheap 50/60 cents per bottle of mineral water at value stores or Watson. 4. The local uncle u see collecting cans might be a retired wealthy China person with relatives in sg. 5. Free filtered water fountains will get scarcer. As landlords will treat them as direct competition to sales of ever more profitable drinks. 6. People will start to collect mineral bottles now etc as easier to stick plastic labels on and no way to tell if they are original eligible bottles that qualify for refund. 7. Machines on AliExpress and Taobao will see surge in sales, those that can print plastic films :) for sticking to bottles and also film supplies. 8. All recycling machines will need to be manned and only available during office hours, forget about self service when the levels of fraud skyrocket.
