  "summary": "Straits Times reports that Singapore's Sheng Siong supermarket chain has extended its discount scheme for Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) card holders, increasing the discount from 4% to 6%. Blue CHAS card holders can now save 6% on Thursdays, while orange CHAS card holders can benefit from the same discount on Fridays. Senior citizens continue to receive a 4% discount at Sheng Siong stores on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Discounts are capped at a maximum spend of $200 per day and do not apply to certain items, such as infant formula, tobacco, and alcohol. Sheng Siong CEO Lim Hock Chee expressed hope that these small savings would help lower-income Singaporeans with their daily expenses. The discount scheme was first introduced in March 2025 for blue CHAS card holders and in January 2026 for orange CHAS card holders, with an extension to December 31. Earlier this month, FairPrice Group also announced a 6% discount for CHAS card holders at their stores.",
