Singapore has launched a new scheme that rewards residents with cash for logging time spent reading, in an unusual attempt to encourage a daily reading habit. Participants can earn one Singapore dollar after completing 50 reading sessions of at least 15 minutes, with only one session counting each day. Behavioral experts say the small payment may be less important than the scheme's gamified features, including tracking progress, building streaks and setting a manageable daily goal. The bigger question is whether the incentives can turn reading into a lasting habit after the rewards eventually stop. #singapore #money #reading #books #viral
