“Needy residents in the South West District received various free electrical appliances on Wednesday due to an initiative by the South West Community Development Council and appliance manufacturer Akira.
Akira has donated S$120,000 worth of appliances for 50 low-income households.
A set for each household includes a kettle, stove, rice cooker, radio and cordless phone.
Mayor of the South West District, Dr Amy Khor, was on hand to give the recipients a few tips on using the appliances”.
Dividing $120,000 by 50 equals $2,400. Are these top-end very expensive appliances? A kettle, stove, rice cooker, radio and cordless phone cost $2,400?
