SINGAPORE - Siglap resident Eric Chiam and his family have set up a soft-drinks vending machine outside their house for food deliverymen and other workers to help themselves to a free drink.
Dr Chiam, 51, is a general practitioner who, with his family, wanted to find a way of offering a cold drink to people who came to the house to deliver food or the mail – even when they were not at home. So Dr Chiam and his wife, with their 15-year-old triplets Andre, Ethan, Sophia, in November last year came up with the vending machine idea that they call TYVMdrinks or Thank You Very Much drinks.
Meanwhile, Dr Chiam funds the project and his wife Lisa Chen, 51, who is also a general practitioner, selects the drinks and puts in the orders.
