Singapore, 14 April, 2009 – The islandwide search for the 2.5 millionth new Adult Anonymous ez-link card exchange came to a happy closure this afternoon, as representatives of EZ-Link and its partners, SingPost and ACE Insurance, congratulate Mrs Then Siew Chin as the lucky winner. Proudly sponsored by the Singapore Post Office and ACE Insurance Limited, this search saw Mrs Then Siew Chin walk away with attractive prizes, including an additional $50 worth of top-up value in her new ez-link card, one-year free insurance coverage under EZ-Link CardShield, a pair of air tickets to Hong Kong, a limited edition Peranakan Stamp Gift Set along with other prizes. “This came as a very pleasant surprise.

Mrs Then has been a faithful user of the ez-link card since its introduction in 2002, mainly for commuting on public buses, MRT and LRT trains in Singapore.

In the coming months ahead, EZ-Link will be introducing new services, such as entry into ERP and EPS payments, to make the card more versatile so as to ensure continued support from our customers”.
