Every household in the Republic is allowed to collect 500ml of zero-alcohol cleanser for free.
Retiree Liong Lai Fong, 79, visited Block 565, Choa Chu Kang Street 52 to pick hers up.
She said in Mandarin: "I came to collect the hand sanitiser today because it was written on the utilities bill."
The Temasek Foundation initiative - the second of its kind - uses machines that mix sanitiser concentrate with clean water and dispense the ready-to-use product into reusuable bottles. The vending machines were designed by the foundation, which said that they were the first in the world to automate the entire process.
