Seniors can claim $800 SG60 vouchers from July 1; adults to get $600 in vouchers from July 22
SINGAPORE - Singaporean seniors aged 60 and above can now claim $800 worth of SG60 vouchers, while adults aged between 21 and 59 will be able to claim $600 worth of the same vouchers from July 22.
Unlike CDC vouchers, which are issued to households, these one-off vouchers to celebrate Singapore's 60th year of independence are for individual Singaporeans. They are part of a broader SG60 Package announced at Budget 2025 by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
Seniors can claim their vouchers at go.gov.sg/sg60v from 10am on July 1, while other adults can do so from 10am on July 22.
The vouchers can be used at all businesses that accept CDC vouchers and are valid till Dec 31, 2026.
In total, some three million adults will get the vouchers, which are estimated to cost the Government a total of $2.02 billion.
'The SG60 vouchers are our way of recognising the contributions of all Singaporeans in our nation-building journey,' said PM Wong in a social media post on July 1.
Each person will also receive in the mail an SG60 postcard designed by differently abled artists. The postcard contains a message from PM Wong and a QR code that can be scanned to claim the vouchers.
Seniors will get to claim their vouchers first 'in appreciation of their long-standing contributions to Singapore's growth and success', said the Community Development Council in a statement on July 1.
This earlier rollout will also ensure that seniors can get dedicated help to claim their vouchers.
The claim and spend process for SG60 Vouchers is the same as that of CDC vouchers – upon claiming the vouchers, the individual will receive an SMS link from 'gov.sg'.
Those who need help to claim their vouchers can get assistance at community centres and clubs, and at SG Digital Community Hubs.
In the first two weeks of the launch until July 11, about 200 volunteers from public agencies and schools such as ITE College West, Nanyang Polytechnic, and Tampines Meridian JC will be stationed at selected CCs alongside CDC ambassadors to assist residents.
Half of the vouchers – $400 for seniors and $300 for adults – can be used at participating supermarkets, and the other half at participating hawker stalls and heartland merchants.
This covers some 23,000 heartland shops and hawkers, and eight supermarket chains that have over 400 outlets all over Singapore. They are Ang Mo Supermarket, Cold Storage, Giant Singapore, Hao Mart, FairPrice, Prime Supermarket, Sheng Siong and U Stars Supermarket.
The SG60 vouchers will support Singaporeans in defraying the cost of living pressures, said Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry, and Culture, Community and Youth, Ms Low Yen Ling told reporters on June 25, at a briefing on the voucher scheme.
Around $1 billion worth of SG60 vouchers will also 'go some way (towards) supporting our heartland shops and hawkers in increasing footfall and also sales', she noted. People can find participating merchants at go.gov.sg/sg60voucher.
Ms Low, who is also the chairman of the Mayors' Committee, said: 'The 1½ years of validity period (of the vouchers) will give all Singaporeans greater flexibility to pace, use and spend their SG60 vouchers gradually.'
The SG60 vouchers are part of a slew of SG60 goodies announced by PM Wong at Budget 2025. Other initiatives include a personal income tax rebate, a gift for babies born this year, and $100 in SG Culture Pass credits for every Singaporean aged 18 and above in 2025.
In 2025, Singaporean households also received $300 worth of CDC vouchers in January, and $500 worth of CDC vouchers in May. These are valid till Dec 31, 2025.

Israel's defence chief threatens to retaliate for Houthi missiles
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed to retaliate against Iran-aligned Houthis after his country's military intercepted a missile launched from Yemen toward Israeli territory. "The fate of Yemen is the same as that of Tehran," Katz said in a statement, referring to last month's 12-day conflict during which Israel targeted Iran's nuclear and missile programmes. "After striking the head of the snake in Tehran, we will also strike the Houthis in Yemen. Whoever raises a hand against Israel — that hand will be cut off," the statement said. Israel has threatened Yemen's Houthi movement - which has been attacking Israel in what it says is solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip - with a naval and air blockade if its attacks on Israel persist. Since the start of Israel's war in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis, who control most of Yemen, have been firing at Israel and at shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade. Most of the dozens of missiles and drones they have launched have been intercepted or fallen short. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes. Mike Huckabee, U.S. President Donald Trump's ambassador to Israel, posted on X: "We thought we were done with missiles coming to Israel, but Houthis just lit one up over us in Israel. Fortunately, Israel's incredible interception system means we go to the shelter & wait until all clear. Maybe those B2 bombers need to visit Yemen!" Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

As USAID stops foreign aid, Rubio says future US assistance will be limited

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/File Photo WASHINGTON - The U.S. Agency for International Development will on Tuesday officially stop implementing foreign aid, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, adding that America's assistance in the future will be targeted and limited. In a statement marking the transfer of USAID to the State Department as part of President Donald Trump's unprecedented push to shrink the federal government, Rubio said the U.S. was abandoning what he called a charity-based model and would focus on empowering countries to grow sustainably. "We will favor those nations that have demonstrated both the ability and willingness to help themselves and will target our resources to areas where they can have a multiplier effect and catalyze durable private sector, including American companies, and global investment," the top U.S. diplomat wrote. This new model, he wrote, would prioritize trade over aid and investment over assistance, adding it would put Washington in a stronger place to counter Beijing. The Trump administration has frozen and then cut back billions of dollars of foreign aid since taking office, saying it wants to ensure U.S. taxpayer money goes only to programs that are aligned with Trump's "America First" policies. The cutbacks have effectively shut down USAID, leading to the firing of thousands of its employees and contractors. That jeopardized the delivery of life-saving food and medical aid and has thrown global humanitarian relief operations into chaos. According to research published in The Lancet medical journal, deep funding cuts to USAID and its dismantling could result in more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030. Top stories Swipe.

USAID funding has had a crucial role in improving global health, primarily directed toward low- and middle-income countries, particularly African nations, according to the study. Reuters reported on Tuesday that the administration canceled a major contract to supply emergency kits for rape survivors in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo as violence surged there this year, leaving thousands without access to life-saving medication, the United Nations and aid groups said. INVESTMENT AND TRADE DEALS USAID was established in 1961 by Democratic President John F. Kennedy at the height of the Cold War with the aim of better coordinating foreign assistance, already a key platform of U.S. foreign policy in countering Soviet influence. Washington has been the world's largest humanitarian aid donor, amounting to at least 38% of all contributions recorded by the United Nations. It disbursed $61 billion in foreign assistance last year, just over half of that via USAID, according to government data. Among the programs affected by the cuts is the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the world's leading HIV/AIDS initiative. Sub-Saharan Africa remains the epicenter of the AIDS pandemic. Trump's cuts have restricted the availability of drugs that millions of Africans have taken to prevent infection - particularly vulnerable communities such as gay men and sex workers - as aid groups and public health systems in Africa strove to roll back the disease. Trump has said the U.S. pays disproportionately for foreign aid and he wants other countries to shoulder more of the burden. A senior State Department official briefing reporters on the condition of anonymity described the USAID model as "failed engagement" that did not reduce the dependency of foreign countries on the United States, and he said other nations will need to step up. "We want to see more investment from our partners, co-investment," the official said. "We want to see trade deals, compacts, agreements to work together on stuff." The shuttering of USAID drew a rare rebuke from former presidents George Bush and Barack Obama who joined a closed video conference event with the USAID community, the Associated Press reported on Monday. "Gutting USAID is a travesty and it's a tragedy. Because it's some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world," Obama was quoted as saying. REUTERS

Italy's Berlusconi family sells Monza to U.S-based fund Beckett Layne
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox MILAN - The Berlusconi family has agreed to sell soccer club AC Monza to U.S.-based investment firm Beckett Layne Ventures, it said in a statement on Tuesday, marking the end of an era for one of the big backers of the sport in Italy. The deal values the club, relegated from Serie A last season, at about 45 million euros ($53 million) including debt, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. The sale signals the Berlusconi family's retreat from soccer, following the death in 2023 of Silvio Berlusconi, the four-time Italian Prime Minister and media tycoon. Silvio Berlusconi, who previously owned seven-time European champions AC Milan, took over Monza in 2018 when they were playing in Italy's third-tier in a deal reportedly worth just 3 million euros. Led by former AC Milan executive Adriano Galliani, Monza, a city just north of Milan, secured their first Serie A promotion in 2022 but finished in last place last season. That relegation forced Fininvest, the holding company of the Berlusconis, to write down the club's book value by 70% to 30 million euros. Under the deal, Beckett Layne Ventures will acquire an 80% stake in the club, with Fininvest initially retaining a 20% holding before a full exit by June 2026. Top stories Swipe. Select.
