Nas Daily Raised Over $170,000 Worth of Funds / Resources That Small Business Can Apply For

Singaporeans and Nas Daily have a rocky relationship, to say the least.

When he announced that he was moving to Singapore, some Singaporeans started a petition to ban him from entering the country.

Why? Because his videos on Singapore apparently had “stereotypical and also brainwashing elements and subliminal messages”.

Another netizen slammed him for not “respecting” locals:

But things might change now.

The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting many businesses in the country, and though it may be hard for the Nas-haters to believe this, he actually wants to help us.

Nas Daily Raised Over $170,000 Worth of Funds / Resources That Small Business Can Apply

For those who don’t know, Nas Daily is actually a guy named Nuseir Yassin, a popular blogger who used to post 1-minute videos of his travels on Facebook focused on other people and their lives.

And with over 15 million followers, it’s not an understatement to say he’s pretty damn popular.

Like many other companies, Nas Daily has had to move their operations online due to the circuit breaker measures in place.

And because he knows how expensive it is for small businesses to do that, Nas wants to help local businesses out.

That’s why, two weeks ago, Nas announced The Online Fund, a fund designed to help small Singaporean businesses move online.

In his post, Nas said, “We want to help small mom & pop shops manuever the online world – build them a website, subsidize their delivery costs, help them advertise or whatever they need.”

They called upon those who want to contribute to make donations, and urged businesses that need help to apply for the fund.

The Nas Company, his company in Singapore, donated the first $10,000, and after two weeks, over 30 companies have donated to the fund, with over $170,000 worth of resources, training, and financial capital.

So how exactly will they help?

Well, as Nas said, they’ll help your company build an online presence, whether it’s advertising, website building, online training, subsidised delivery costs or anything else you might need to transition online.

To apply, simply visit this site and include details about your business, as well as the challenges you face to shift operations online.

More Essential Businesses Closed

As you know, more essential businesses have been closed as part of the tighter measures introduced for the now extended circuit breaker period.

The reason for doing this is to reduce the number of workers in essential services commuting daily.

As a result, many of these businesses have had to shift their operations online.

Sure, you can’t exactly get a haircut online, but you may be able to order bubble tea over the internet, though the challenge is on how the companies can make their bubble tea without opening their outlets.

That’s why this move by Nas Daily is so admirable: not everyone knows how to shift their operations online, and more importantly, not everyone can afford to do so.

As Nas said in his post: “We believe help shouldn’t only just come from above, it should come from all of us”.

Even if you’re a huge Nas-hater, you have to admit: this is a pretty generous initiative.
