Seniors can claim S$800 SG60 vouchers from July 1; adults to get S$600 in vouchers from July 22

[SINGAPORE] Singaporean seniors aged 60 and above can now claim S$800 worth of SG60 vouchers, while other adults aged between 21 and 59 will be able to claim S$600 worth of the same vouchers from Jul 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 10 am on Jul 1, while other adults can do so from 10 am on Jul 22.
In total, some three million adults will get the vouchers, which are estimated to cost the government a total of S$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 Jul 1.
Each person will also get an SG60 postcard – designed by differently-abled artists – in the mail. 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 Jul 1.
This earlier rollout will also ensure that seniors can get dedicated help to claim their vouchers.
The vouchers can be used at all businesses that accept CDC vouchers and are valid till Dec 31, 2026.
Half the vouchers – that is, S$400 for seniors; and S$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 claim and spend process for SG60 Vouchers is the same as that of CDC vouchers, where 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.
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, Low Yen Ling told reporters on June 25, at a briefing on the voucher scheme.
Around S$1 billion worth of SG60 vouchers will also 'go some way to supporting our heartland shops and hawkers in increasing footfall and also sales', she noted. People can find participating merchants at go.gov.sg/sg60voucher.
Low, who is also the Chairman of the Mayors' Committee, said:'The one and a half 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 S$100 in SG Culture Pass credits for every Singaporean aged 18 and above in 2025.
In 2025, Singaporean households also received S$300 worth of CDC vouchers in January, and S$500 worth of CDC vouchers in May. These are valid till Dec 31, 2025. THE STRAITS TIMES

Binance to keep hundreds of staff in Singapore despite crackdown

[SINGAPORE] The world's largest digital assets exchange Binance, plans to keep hundreds of remote workers in Singapore, despite a crackdown on unlicensed crypto outfits in the city-state. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) recently announced a hard deadline of Jun 30 for crypto firms incorporated in Singapore and offering services offshore to cease activities, prompting top-10 exchange operators Bitget and Bybit to weigh shifting staff overseas. The new rules are expected to have a negligible impact on Binance's operations in Singapore, according to sources familiar with the company's operations who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. Hundreds of Singapore-based employees working remotely for the exchange will not need to relocate, the sources said. More than 400 Binance workers label themselves as based in Singapore on LinkedIn, based on a Bloomberg News analysis. Binance had no comment on its operations in Singapore and did not specify whether it has an office in the city-state when asked by Bloomberg. The MAS referred to its earlier statements on the new rules. Crypto exchanges have long posed challenges for would-be regulators by leaving their base of operations ambiguous. Binance has never named a global headquarters. Its chief executive officer Richard Teng – a former director at the MAS – said in 2024 that the company had held talks with a number of jurisdictions on the matter, but in January, he described Binance employees as 'remote-first'. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up In a Jun 6 clarification to its initial announcement, the MAS said digital-asset firms offering services 'solely to customers outside of Singapore' will need to be licensed from Jun 30 or 'cease their regulated activities.' Binance is not licensed in Singapore and has been on an investor alert list there since 2021, meaning it cannot solicit customers from the city-state. Binance staff in Singapore are seen as shielded from the recent MAS notice, however, because they mainly focus on back-office activities including compliance, human resources, data analysis and technology, the sources familiar with the situation said. Working remotely, rather than in a permanent office, also helps to insulate them, the sources added. Individuals or partnerships that operate from a place of business in Singapore or incorporated in the city-state and offering digital token services outside the country will fall under the new rules, the MAS said in its May 30 statement. But work done by an individual as part of their employment with a foreign-incorporated company that provides such services outside Singapore 'would not, in itself, attract a licensing requirement' under the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA) 2022, the MAS said. 'Place of business is a grey area,' said Chris Holland, partner at Singaporean consulting firm HM. 'The definition of 'place of business' is broad under the FSMA. While the term will have a boundary, I would not encourage firms to engage people resident in Singapore and then rely exclusively on that definition to work remotely, assuming that it's outside the remit of the new rules.' Crypto hub Singapore is one of Asia's foremost crypto hubs, with a licensing regime that global players such as Coinbase Global and OKX have used to set up regional bases. But the city-state suffered a string of bruising blow-ups during the last industry downturn in 2022. Among those was Three Arrows Capital, a crypto hedge fund that imploded after a series of bad bets. Singapore's status as a fulcrum for the industry is now being called into question, after the Jun 30 deadline sparked concerns of a crypto exodus. 'There's lot of uncertainty on Singapore's stance on crypto,' said Raagulan Pathy, co-founder of Kast, a stablecoin startup. Cayman Islands-based Kast has hired 100 people in the past 12 months and had planned to shift internal operations staff, trading teams and other executives to Singapore while hiring 30 to 50 people there. Now, Pathy plans to set up a global office in Dubai instead. 'Even though Singapore is merely plugging a regulatory loophole, the perception is it's clamping down on crypto and that could push capital and talent out.' Pathy is a 12-year resident of Singapore and has no plans to move personally, he added, but has to 'make hard choices about where to locate offices for Kast'. BLOOMBERG

Johor-Singapore cooperation: Boom, bane or both?

Corporate Singapore has long moaned about high real estate costs and the lack of affordable labour – problems that the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is expected to tackle. On Jan 6, Singapore and Malaysia inked a formal agreement to establish the JS-SEZ to attract businesses in every thing ranging from manufacturing, to health and to digital. With a land area four times that of our tiny island-state, the JS-SEZ opens up the possibility for Singapore companies to set up in Johor Bahru. In May, a convenient light rail transit system connecting Singapore and JB was announced. Slated for launch end-2026, the JB-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link will be able to serve up to 10,000 commuters during peak periods for every hour and in each direction, with a journey time of about five minutes. This should significantly reduce congestion along the Causeway and reduce travel times between JB and Singapore. While lowering costs and increasing efficiency should be golden words to corporate leaders' ears, every conversation I have had with business owners or CEOs have so far started with a grimace and ended with a groan. Clearly, the JB-Singapore story is more than cost reduction and transport efficiency. Competition with Singapore The closer linkage may offer opportunities, but it also presents formidable competition to Singapore – at least in the short term. 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 RM1 is currently worth 30 Singapore cents. For Singaporeans, the favourable exchange rate means that prices are lower in Malaysia. Already, many are making day trips to JB to stock up on diapers, enjoy cheap meals and get pampered in a spa. And they are there not just for basic necessities. They are also going to Malaysia for health check-ups and simple medical treatments. Pharmaceuticals, too, are cheaper across the Causeway. Business owners in Singapore are worried that this will hollow out local demand in supermarkets, food and beverage (F&B) outlets and other specialised services. If the product is something that Singaporeans can buy in JB and carry home, it appears they are already doing it. As Singaporeans enjoy their days off across the Causeway, the dollars they would have spent at home otherwise is now being converted into ringgit (and if they fail to declare it, the purchases are not attracting goods and services tax). This has already happened in Hong Kong, where residents eat and play on weekends in nearby Shenzhen for half the cost. Hong Kong, as I have heard, is a thriving metropolis five days a week but a ghost town come Saturday. A more divided Singapore? The supply of land in Johor should ease commercial and industrial real estate prices here, which should have an eventual knock-on effect on residential real estate, making housing more affordable for first-time Singaporean homeowners. But as one business leader pointed out, if a guy loses his job or has to shutter his business, he will not be able to buy a house anyway. Also, existing homeowners will not be celebrating property prices coming down. Cost of living issues – so central to the discussions during the recent General Election and already exacerbated by the US tariffs – could loom even larger in the national consciousness. Middle and lower-income Singaporeans have been talking about buying a retirement home in Malaysia where housing is cheaper and savings stretch further. With JB becoming such an efficient commute away, will more than just silver-haired Singaporeans relocate? Working individuals, while continuing to be employed in Singapore for higher salaries, may consider commuting from homes in Forest City. Singapore businesses, to retain customers, may move with them. Such businesses could enjoy cost savings and offer lower prices in JB. However, the same products and services would not become cheaper in Singapore where the savings do not apply. This cannibalisation of a company's own business may lead it to bifurcate offerings between high-end Singapore stores and more basic shops across the Causeway. Think premium CS Fresh versus Cold Storage's standard fare. If their Singapore offerings become more high end, the less well-off would simply shop in Malaysia. Local outlets may increasingly cater principally to the well-heeled, likely to comprise a larger component of expatriates and uber-wealthy new citizens or permanent residents. If our country becomes a place where only the rich can afford to work and live, but the everyday Singaporean can only travel in to work, that may have an impact on the fabric and cohesiveness of our society. Will we see a 'two-speed Singapore' with a hollowing out of the middle and lower middle income demographic? And even if this does not happen at significant scale, will the everyday Singaporean start to feel less rooted in their home country? Intentional policies for social cohesion The issue is a complex one. Sure, Singapore needs to address property prices. Rent is becoming an untenably high portion of business costs; and citizens need access not just to affordable public housing, but the ability to aspire to upgraded homes. If the JS-SEZ ameliorates that problem, this would be a good long-term outcome. Likewise, productivity enhancements from efficiency of the RTS Link should be embraced. But in the near term, there will be discomfort and discombobulation. As the JS-SEZ and RTS Link come into operation, Singapore businesses and landlords will be affected. This may result in more precarious businesses failing or choosing to relocate offshore. That will in turn have an impact on their employees' livelihoods. So far, there has not been much discussion on this – but I think it is an issue that needs to be unpacked and tackled openly. We need to assess and address the implications that the new linkages will have in the short term, even while celebrating anticipated future upsides for big corporates and small businesses. On the employment front, upskilling and training need to be core. Singapore will have to accelerate its development into a higher-up-the-value-chain hub, especially in the services sector, where compensation packages are most attractive. Local businesses also need to upgrade to stay creative and relevant. This could be in the form of curating new concepts or offering innovative experiences unique to Singapore. The consequences to our social fabric must not be less front-of-mind. We need intentional policies to build community cohesion and make Singaporeans feel that this, here, is – and always will be – our home. On the business front, this could entail holding space for local entrepreneurs, F&B startups or small businesses. If a home-grown clothing label starts to feel squeezed out by big-name international brands, they will decamp offshore. On the community side, we must be purposeful in building a local identity – be it ever so diverse and messy – with shared spaces and events to enjoy and build cohesion and belonging. The economic benefits of JB-Singapore collaboration will take time to be felt, and in the near term, individuals and businesses will be economically discomfited. Let us not allow that uncomfortable adjustment to lead to a more divided Singapore community. The writer is joint managing partner at TSMP Law Corporation

Trump says US could reach trade deal with India, casts doubt on deal with Japan

Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Mr Trump said he believed India was ready to lower barriers for US companies. WASHINGTON - The United States could reach a trade deal with India that would help American companies compete in the South Asian country and leave it facing far lower tariffs, President Donald Trump said on July 1, while casting doubt on a possible deal with Japan. Mr Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he believed India was ready to lower barriers for US companies, which could pave the way for an agreement staving off the 26 per cent rate he announced on April 2, before pausing it until July 9. 'Right now, India doesn't accept anybody in. I think India is going to do that, if they do that, we're going to have a deal for less, much less tariffs,' he said. Earlier, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News that the US and India are nearing a deal that would lower tariffs on American imports to the South Asian country and help India avoid levies from rising sharply next week. 'We are very close with India,' Mr Bessent told Fox News in response to a question about progress on trade negotiations. Indian officials extended a visit to Washington last week through June 30 to try to reach agreement on a trade deal with the Trump administration and address lingering concerns on both sides, Indian government sources told Reuters. A White House official familiar with the talks said the Trump administration plans to prioritise securing trade deals with countries including India ahead of Japan in the days leading up to the July 9 deadline.

India could see its new 'reciprocal' tariff rate rise to 27 per cent from the current 10 per cent. The US-India talks have hit roadblocks over disagreements on import duties for auto components, steel, and farm goods, ahead of Mr Trump's deadline to impose reciprocal tariffs. 'We are in the middle – hopefully more than the middle – of a very intricate trade negotiation,' Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told an event in New York on June 30. 'Obviously, my hope would be that we bring it to a successful conclusion. I cannot guarantee it, because there's another party to that discussion,' said Mr Jaishankar, who is in the US for a meeting of the China-focused Quad grouping. He added that there 'will have to be give and take' and the two sides will have to find middle ground. Trump suggests higher tariff for Japan Mr Bessent told Fox News that different countries have different agendas for trade deals, including Japan, which Mr Trump complained about on June 30 and again on July 1. Mr Trump said he was not thinking of extending the July 9 deadline and would simply send letters notifying countries of the tariff rate they would face. 'We've dealt with Japan. I'm not sure we're going to make a deal. I doubt it,' Mr Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from a trip to Florida. Mr Trump suggested he could impose a tariff of 30 per cent or 35 per cent on imports from Japan - well above the 24 per cent tariff rate he announced on April 2 and then paused until July 9. He said Japan was refusing to accept US-grown rice, a demand made by Washington that he described as 'an easy one', while selling millions of cars in the United States. 'So what I'm going to do, is I'll write them a letter saying we thank you very much, and we know you can't do the kind of things that we need, and therefore you pay a 30 per cent, 35 per cent or whatever the numbers that we determine,' he said. So far, only Britain has negotiated a limited trade deal with the Trump administration, accepting a 10 per cent US tariff on many goods, including autos, in exchange for special access for aircraft engines and British beef.
