Singapore is celebrating its 60th year of independence in 2025 with the launch of the SG60 Vouchers. This one-time support package is not only a commemorative gesture but also a meaningful way to help Singaporeans with their daily living expenses.
The vouchers can be used for groceries, utilities, and household needs, and they are accepted at major supermarkets, hawker centres, and heartland shops. The initiative aims to support households while strengthening the local economy.
Purpose of the SG60 Vouchers
The SG60 Vouchers serve two main purposes:
- Financial Relief – By providing extra support to households, especially lower- and middle-income families, the vouchers help ease the rising cost of living.
- Commemorative Initiative – As Singapore marks its 60th anniversary, the vouchers symbolize national unity and pride, ensuring that all citizens can take part in this milestone celebration.
This blend of financial support and national spirit makes the SG60 program unique and meaningful.
