SINGAPORE – Collecting the new reusable face masks was a smooth process for many Singapore residents on the first day of distribution by Temasek Foundation on Monday (Nov 30).

Those whom The Straits Times spoke to said the vending machines were easy to use, as they simply had to select their mask size, and scan their identification card for redemption.

Each person is entitled to one free mask kit, which contains a pair of reusable masks and three mask filters.
