E-payment in Jakarta

My friend in Jakarta have 3 children, aged 9 to 16 years.

Their mother gave them a mobile phone each, and top up their e-wallet every day. The children use the mobile phone to make payment using QR code.

I was surprised. It seems that many people in Jakarta use e-payment. It seemed to be more common than in Singapore.

I hear so many excuses in Singapore. In spite of the encouragement by PM Lee to move to e-payment over 2 years ago, nothing much has happened.

Is this what is happening in Singapore? Are we slower than Jakarta? It is very sad.

Today parents are blamed for everything that goes wrong in a child's life. Parental authority is in full retreat. Youngsters are increasingly disobeying their elders. Did we listen everything our parents wanted us to be? Be honest.

ATM S are easily accessible on this little island compared to other vast countries.
