SINGAPORE: Singaporeans aged 21 to 59 in 2025 can start claiming their $600 SG60 vouchers from Tuesday (July 22).
The vouchers, which can be claimed at go.gov.sg/sg60v, are valid till Dec 31, 2026. They can be used at more than 23,000 hawkers and heartland merchants, as well as eight supermarket chains with 400 outlets across the island.
Over 915,000 Singaporeans aged 60 and above, or more than 83 per cent of Singapore’s 1.1 million seniors, have claimed their $800 SG60 vouchers since July 1.
Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling gave the figures in a Facebook post on July 22, saying that it was encouraging to see many more seniors embracing digital vouchers.
Low said that more than $127.6 million has been spent to date. Some $76.6 million has been spent at hawkers and heartland merchants, and more than $51 million at supermarkets.
Every eligible Singaporean will also receive a specially designed SG60 postcard featuring six unique artworks by seven differently abled artists, and a personal message from Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
The SG60 vouchers were among a slew of goodies announced by PM Wong in his Feb 18 Budget speech to mark Singapore’s 60th year of independence. He said the vouchers are to recognise Singaporeans’ contributions and share the benefits of the nation’s progress.
These vouchers are like CDC vouchers and can be claimed digitally on RedeemSG via Singpass.
They can be used at all businesses that accept CDC vouchers, with half for use at supermarkets, and the remainder at heartland merchants and hawker stalls.
The SG60 vouchers are estimated to cost the Government a total of $2.02 billion.
“The SG60 vouchers have fostered a strong sense of community, with individuals from all walks of life coming together to assist those who need help with the claiming and spending of vouchers,” Low said.
These include volunteers, SG Digital Office’s digital ambassadors, CDC ambassadors, and Silver Infocomm wellness ambassadors, she added.
Low urged Singaporeans to support local businesses in their neighbourhood as National Day draws near.
She also warned people to beware of scams, adding that no banking details are needed to redeem vouchers. - The Straits Times/ANN
