Reward 500 Tiger-coinsStarting from July 1, about 1.1 million Singaporeans aged 60 and above will have priority in receiving the SG60 Neighborhood Vouchers worth $800, in celebration of Singapore’s 60th anniversary. Other adult citizens can begin collecting theirs from July 22.
The Prime Minister also shared this good news in a social media post:
“The SG60 Neighborhood Vouchers are our way of recognizing all Singaporeans for their contributions to nation-building. Let’s continue working together to build a better home for everyone.”
The announcement quickly sparked envy from many netizens around the world:
“600 SGD is really quite a lot!”
“If only our government could hand out some cash too.”
Interestingly, it’s U.S. Independence Day today, and just recently, the country spent tens of millions on a parade for its 250th anniversary. In comparison, isn’t Singapore's approach more thoughtful and down-to-earth? The government has allocated a total of S$2.02 billion for the SG60 vouchers, benefiting around 3 million citizens.
How to collect and spend them?
The SG60 vouchers are valid until December 31, 2026.
Distribution is split into two phases:
Phase 1: Starting from 10 AM on July 1, Singapore citizens aged 60 and above can claim their vouchers.
Phase 2: From 10 AM on July 22, adult citizens aged 21 to 59 can begin collection.
Half of the total voucher amount is designated for spending at neighborhood shops and hawker stalls, while the other half is for supermarkets.
The collection and usage process is the same as previous CDC vouchers. Citizens simply visit go.gov.sg/sg60v and log in with Singpass. They will then receive a link via SMS from gov.sg to access and use the vouchers.
Those unfamiliar with digital tools can visit Singapore Digital Community Hubs, where digital ambassadors will assist in claiming and using the vouchers and teach various digital skills.
Postcards will be mailed out alongside the vouchers
As part of the SG60 campaign, every adult citizen will receive one of six postcards designed by seven local artists, starting in July. These postcards will be delivered by mail.

I also like the postcards by local artists — they add a nice personal and cultural touch. Beyond that, I admire Singapore’s support for public healthcare and education, which shows long-term care for citizens. These policies may not be flashy, but they truly make a difference in people’s lives.
Compared to China’s home appliance subsidies, I find Singapore’s system more flexible and convenient. There’s no need to buy specific items or brands — the vouchers are easy to claim and use. Plus, the digital support provided ensures everyone, even the less tech-savvy, can benefit.

In contrast China gives subsidy for home appliances, which is quite different but equally showing care for its citizens.
The colourful postcards are a lovely artistic touch highlighting the talent of our local artists.
SG60 is a very special year for Singapore as we have come a long way since Singapore's independence. Singapore today is a thriving, prosperous city with racial harmony, stable government and a financial hub that is the envy of our neighbouring countries. We are indeed very blessed.
Majullah Singapura - Onward Singapore🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🥰🥰🥰
