Singaporeans Try: Going Cashless For A Week

With cashless modes of payment becoming more and more common these days, we wondered if it is really possible to go cashless in Singapore. In this episode of Singaporeans Try, we decided to try it out for ourselves by going cashless for an entire week!

[@joycehyn1584]

I kinda feel bad for Jon as he got sabotage

[@yeschef3869]

Thanks for this educational video!
Now i know how to steal money from Jon!

[@flyangSG]

OMG, the 1 leaf from cabbage.... WINS! hahahahah! this video is TOOOO funny. #cabbageslap

[@leeboonkang2]

If im not wrong, nets should not have any minimum spending(well, at least $0.01). This is the agreement between the store and nets. Maybe you can report it to the nets company directly when facing store owner lik that. Although im not sure how true is that.

[@Jessica-ze7lj]

I laughed so badly for the cabbage slap 😂😂😂

[@Aisha.06]

Cabbage slap 😂😂

[@yourmother3954]

4:12 Alison and Q doe haha

[@iamjclz]

Haha I really enjoyed this episode! I would love to see the same four people in another challenge together.

[@kazayujin7164]

i think the title of this video is misleading. It should instead be "Singaporeans trying to play cheat by buying the cheapest food in the market by paying via NETS daily for a week."

[@dibodiib5828]

Miss the pre-covid TSL 🥲😭

[@thattragedy]

I mainly spend on food and beer. Both from kopitiam. And the occasional toys if I see anything nice

[@Purplysweet]

Steph gives me such good vibes I want to be her friend :(

[@valerie3530]

LOL THEY'RE HILARIOUS I CAN'T STOP WATCHING TSL

[@fancyvalencia127]

I just realised Jon's eyebrow is on fleek!!😯😂

[@rifqahrafee2702]

I stay sooooooo freaking near form the TSL office like I can recognise all the places near the office

[@Dragoondaniel]

same

[@the50dollarsman]

In China, you can pay everything with wechat wallet and alipay. Singapore still very far behind towards cashless.

[@98621739]

"Ah girl, wo gei ni la" omg i died

[@hannyiesz]

Oh my. You all cracked me up. Laugh till I cried. Hahaha!!!

[@mszsh96]

Everything about this video was hilarious!

[@leehongsheng8296]

U guys should do more of this videos.

[@shirushana]

OMG I NEVER CRACKED SO HARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT HAHHAAHA ONE LEAF OF CABBAGE 😂 DED

[@jflee9918]

Aunty: Ah girl I give u luh hahahah

[@Ringalinggg4295]

Jon's eyebrows are on fleek though

[@heeheehaheho5649]

OMG they did cabbage slap and mentioned kimchi slap 😂😂 thank you TSL

[@ostkkfmhtsh012345678]

Hm... cashless payments in this episode are only NETS but nothing else like LINE Pay, WeChat Pay, UnionPay, MasterCard, VISA, etc. This include using any card via #ApplePay #AndroidPay #SamsungPay.

[@DC-ru5xz]

I prefer using cash, therefore I know how much money I’m spending, visually because I can see how much/little I’m spending. If I go cashless, I’ll probably overspend and go broke pretty quick.

[@joelwong7375]

Steph has such an infectious laugh :)

[@lukek172]

wasn't the five bazaar the place where the 'what singaporeans will do to get food' video was shot?

[@starrwulfe]

I'm so gonna see if I can get below 3¢ on something next time I'm there... I already know it's impossible here in Japan by using anything because of tax!

[@nsrhsyzn]

i was laughing so hard of the cabbage slap HAHA lmao

[@samanthaashleyy1693]

Singaporeans try never fail to make me laugh HAHAHA 😂😂😂💖

[@kennethkiong1819]

Im so stunned like vegetables at the end

[@candytwins1]

Nets got tap card one meh? Den y steph say u can juz simply tap the card and no nid to search for money? Only pay wave den tap card lah.

[@LittleStrawbirdy]

Q kept waving at Jon's camera. LOL

[@noorkhazenah4598]

[@hscoolfire]

The cabbage slap saves the whole sponsored video. Anyway, NETS is the least payment methods I will use.

[@elsiewelsies]

[@mypeepee]

Elsa Chew pnj

[@yipwk719]

Happy birthday Singapore!

[@ostkkfmhtsh012345678]

Please redo the challenge but this time include other methods of e-payments alongside with NETS including AliPay, WeChat Pay, LINE Pay, UnionPay, MasterCard, VISA. Also add the requirement to use mobile payments ONLY (NO CARD NOR CASH) including AliPay, WeChat Pay, LINE Pay, Kakao Pay, #AndroidPay #ApplePay #HuaweiPay #MicrosoftWallet #SamsungPay #XiaomiPay. If necessary, do the challenge outside of Singapore.

[@flippingpratas]

[@friedrice0922]

did anyone realise the pun jon made " let us (lettuce) end dis video now " but it wasnt even lettuce

[@LittleStrawbirdy]

They shouldn't tell them about the lowest transaction! So that it's more genuine and can see what they usually spend the least on.

[@sakuraikazuya1803]

"Let us end this video now" sound like lettuces end this video now.😂😂

[@XiaoMega]

Does steph stays in ubi? that background at 4:44 looks like ubi to me.

[@user-dd2tr4fq2q]

So now we know that steph stays at level 2 MUAHAHAHAAHA
