The SG60 Vouchers initiative is a targeted support package by the Singapore government aimed at providing immediate financial relief amid rising living costs.
Under this program, Singapore citizens aged 21 and above will receive $600 in vouchers, with seniors aged 60 and above receiving an additional $200, totaling $800.
These vouchers can be used across a variety of services and merchants, offering significant savings and flexibility.

- Daily necessities (groceries, household items)
- Health & local services (pharmacies, clinics)
- Leisure & culture (museums, public transport)
- Digital transactions (eCommerce, apps)
