Coca-Cola's Share A Coke campaign back after 10 years with over 170 popular names
SINGAPORE – Keen to see your name on a Coca-Cola can?
The global beverage manufacturer's Share A Coke campaign – which originated in Australia in 2011 and was first launched in Singapore in 2015 – replaced the iconic Coca-Cola logo with popular names and titles.
This time, more than 170 options – including fun nicknames like Lao Ban (boss in Chinese) and Bestie, and local surnames like Lim and Tan – will be printed on Coca-Cola cans. These can be found at major supermarkets and convenience stores islandwide.
To personalise a can, go to either str.sg/p5SMH or visit an interactive Personalisation Hub across the country.
Until June 1, head to the Level 1 atrium at Plaza Singapura mall to customise up to two Coca-Cola cans between 10am and 10pm daily.
The purchase of $6 worth of products from participating brands such as Coke, Coke Zero, Sprite and Fanta Schweppes on site will entitle a customer to one customised can. On top of that, the purchase of at least three drinks (cups or bottles) from participating retailers will also entitle one to a customised can.
The Share A Coke campaign aims to get people to connect in real life through something personal, playful and meaningful.
In a press statement, director of marketing at Coca-Cola Singapore-Malaysia Chrystian A. Lim said: ' In 2025 , we're offering even more personalised options and in-person experiences that help people come together bey ond the screen.'

Car review: Jaecoo J6 electric SUV marches into the Category A COE battle
Tuned to sell: In Category A COE form, the Jaecoo J6 is some $32,000 cheaper than the dual-motor version launched earlier. SINGAPORE – Under the certificate of entitlement (COE) system, which categorises vehicles by their power output, car brands often put their electric vehicles (EVs) through a 'power diet' to slip them into the cheaper Category A COE. After all, who would not want to save a few dollars? Jaecoo is a brand owned by Chinese carmaker Chery. To get its J6 electric sport utility vehicle (SUV) into Category A, the front motor was ditched and the one in the rear dialled down to 99kW, dropping its output from 205kW and slashing its price by a hefty $32,000.

SINGAPORE - A man who ran an online vice syndicate to recruit Japanese women for prostitution in Singapore was sentenced to a year's jail and fined $4,000. Goh Boon Hong, 25 , pleaded guilty to five charges on June 30 , including harbouring women for the purpose of prostitution and living on prostitution earnings. In August 2024, Goh, who is Malaysian, was hired by a man named Wong Chi San to be a member of the syndicate. Initially, Goh received a 10 per cent commission from the prostitution earnings . This was later increased to 20 per cent. In January 2025, Goh took over the syndicate's operations after Wong was arrested. Details of Wong's case were not mentioned in court documents. That month, a 26-year-old Japanese woman, identified in court documents as A1, accepted Goh's invite to prostitute herself in Singapore from February to March. A1 extended the invitation to her 27-year-old Japanese friend A2, who also accepted. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

She earned $14,800 from them, and was paid 1.24 million yen (S$10,900) by Goh. A2 served 37 customers, earning $11,100. Goh paid her 830,000 yen. Goh worked with an accomplice, Chinese national Zhang Kai, who booked the hotel rooms. On top of the hotel room charges, Goh paid Zhang $50 per room per day for procuring the hotel rooms. Zhang would also help Goh to set up inflatable beds and massage gels in the toilets of the hotel rooms. Initially, Goh paid Zhang $500 for each toilet set-up . This was subsequently increased to $600 after Zhang complained of the risk involved in carrying out these prostitution operations. Goh also paid Zhang $2,100 for his services over the nine-day period and kept the rest of the prostitution earnings. The offences came to light on March 7 when the police conducted an anti-vice operation at Marina Bay Sands and Goh was arrested. Zhang's case is still before the courts, with his pre-trial conference date set at July 17. Those convicted of harbouring a woman for the purpose of prostitution can be jailed for up to seven years and fined up to $100,000.

SGX and HKEX in three charts
[SINGAPORE] Singapore's market is weathering a listing draught but the scene at a neighbouring rival bourse up north is quite a different picture. The Hong Kong stock exchange is on fire, with the southern Chinese territory fast on track to becoming the world's leading initial public offering (IPO) fundraising venue in 2025. Close to 100 companies could raise as much as HK$220 billion (S$35.7 billion) there, acording to PricewaterhouseCoopers. The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) has also enjoyed a bumper crop of 149 IPO applications year to date as at May, almost double from the year-ago period. But on the Singapore Exchange (SGX), delistings continue to outpace IPOs. Six months into 2025, the Catalist debut of automotive group Vin's Holdings and mainboard listing of software services provider Info-Tech Systems, coupled with a stream of privatisations, takes the year's tally to two IPOs versus nine delistings. At least seven more firms are set to exit. BT in your inbox Start and end each day with the latest news stories and analyses delivered straight to your inbox. Sign Up Sign Up But while things looks dismal, revival could be on the horizon. For one, a review group formed by Singapore's central bank is proposing schemes to resuscitate the local stock market - including fund manager incentives, a shift towards a more disclosure-based regime and changes to simplify the listing process. The prospect of real estate investment trust (Reit) listings is also promising - with Japanese telecom giant NTT seeking to raise US$864 million in a Singapore IPO for a data centre Reit and French property asset manager Praemia Reim weighing a healthcare Reit. Beyond Reits, more fresh listings look to be on the way. Interior fit-out business Lum Chang Creations lodged its preliminary prospectus for the Catalist board on Jun 23 and design-and-build specialist Dezign Format Group followed suit one week later. Chinese corporates' heightened interest in Singapore listings could boost the local bourse as well. As a raging trade war spurs such firms to diversify away from the US, at least five from mainland China or Hong Kong are reportedly eyeing IPOs, dual listings, or share placements in Singapore over the next year or so. Although these developments bode well for Singapore's stock market, some market watchers do not expect the city state to close its listing gap with Hong Kong anytime soon - due to factors including its stricter listing requirements and relatively conservative investor base. Others think that Singapore's political stability, geopolitical neutrality as well as the international recognition and shorter time to market it offers compared to venues with longer IPO queues make it an appealing listing destination. While it remains to be seen if Singapore's equities market will get the turnaround it hopes for, The Business Times looks at how SGX and HKEX compares - in three charts.
