According to The Straits Times, the Central Singapore Community Development Council and Jalan Besar GRC grassroots organizations held the mega market with the intention of lowering these households' cost of living.
There were 20 booths, offering free services and commodities like haircuts, massages, carnival games, clothing, and food trucks. 13 corporate and division partners, including the FairPrice Foundation, Gardenia, and Kellogg's, supported them.
The monthly Give and Take market, which debuted in October 2021 and is rotated along Jalan Besar GRC every month, is the source of the mega market, a special edition of that market.
Leonard Lin, general manager of Shein Singapore, said the brand, which is debuting at the market, believes in democratizing access to fashion. We were able to share the experience with families in need and give back to the community thanks to our first appearance at the market, he continued.
