Hi, I am Ifrey Lai, founder of MOBOT. I am now at home, speaking to you.
The COVID-19 situation has disrupted our way of life. For many, it may be just inconvenience. For others, they may have lost their jobs. For some, the virus has even robbed them of their loved ones.
I knew the local prices would increase in such times.
But what really angered me was the ridiculous surge in pricing.
$35 to $40 for 50 pcs of mask! It was close to 3 times more than what anyone would have paid for in the past.
I immediately asked myself:
Why must such an essential item like face mask become suddenly unaffordable for some?
In an epidemic like this, everyone should have easy access to necessary protection.
I am blessed that our customers had given us the support over the last 6 years to build up MOBOT to become the largest E-Mobility brand in Singapore.
We believe a social enterprise approach will be a more sustainable model in the long run, as compared to a subsidized or charity approach.
We planned this for quite some time and we expect the first batch to be available from 20 April.
Currently, we have enough raw materials to produce 70,000 boxes.
Each box of 50pcs is available at $19.90!
We hope to even lower the price through bulk purchase of the raw materials.
We appeal to like-minded companies and people to come onboard and support us.
At the end of the day, we want everyone to have access to quality yet affordable face mask until we overcome the fight against COVID-19.
Stay home. Stay safe. Together we can overcome this.
And for those who are working in the essential services sectors right now, thank you for serving and safe guarding us.
