SINGAPORE \u2013 Muslims preparing to break their fast can dig into a snack pack that will be given out at 60 FairPrice outlets throughout the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. <\/p>\n
The snack pack \u2013 containing a drink and fruits or biscuits \u2013 will be given out daily by staff and volunteers about 30 minutes before it is time to break fast, and for another 30 minutes after.<\/p>\n
