Almost 100K free national flags given out by Shopee
The extension is in response to the strong public interest, the online shopping platform said in a statement on July 21.
The initiative, called Fly Our Flag, is a collaboration with the National Day Parade organisers and was to run till 11.59am on July 15, or while stocks last, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) said in a statement on June 27.
To redeem the flag, go to https://shopee.sg/ndp-2025-flyourflag, log in with Singpass and choose to have the flag delivered at a cost or pick it up from over 3,000 collection points for free.
Singaporeans are encouraged to display the national flag during the National Day celebration period between July 1 and Sept 30, MCCY said earlier.
During this period, the rules for flying and displaying the flag are relaxed. The flag may be flown without a flagpole and does not have to be illuminated at night. The flag may be displayed at offices, buildings and residential premises.
The national flag should be treated with respect and used in an "appropriate and dignified manner", and torn or worn-out flags should not be displayed, said MCCY earlier.
Shopee will also participate in the parade for the first time with a marching contingent, commemorating its 10th year in Singapore.

'Should CDC vouchers be per pax or per household?': Scheme sparks debate on fairness
A new batch of Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers was rolled out in May, with Singaporean households receiving an additional $500 to help with daily expenses. But public response to the long-running scheme has been mixed, sparking renewed debate online over whether its distribution model is fair and effective. While many households welcomed the payouts amid rising costs, others argued that the current system, which allocates vouchers per household, disadvantages larger families. A Reddit post by Dizzy_Boysenberry499 in May titled "Opinion: CDC vouchers should be per pax and not per household" quickly gained traction on r/singapore, garnering over 1,400 upvotes and more than 300 comments. This was before the announcement that the one-off SG60 vouchers - meant to recognise all Singaporeans' contributions in the nation's 60th year of independence - would be given to individuals in July. These vouchers are also usable at all CDC voucher-accepting merchants. Netizens express scepticism "Imagine if a household has 5 people living in one address. This household is taking up less 'space' and yet they are being 'punished' because they get less voucher support per capita," wrote Dizzy_Boysenberry499. Redditor Auph agreed: "We vote as individuals, not by households. CDC vouchers should also be given to individuals, not by households. It doesn't make sense when $500 is shared among five house members vs $500 shared by a married couple." Some users went further, suggesting that wealthier households should receive less, and that financial assistance should be more targeted. "People that are doing well actually don't need it as much as the less well off," commented Redditor Ok_Set4063. Netizen CommieBird agreed: "This can't be emphasised enough. I'm okay with the principle of distributing vouchers and GST relief to those who need it the most. "Eventually the tax revenue has to come from somewhere, and the government shouldn't be building a society reliant on handouts." Questions were also raised about the long-term sustainability of the scheme. Some view it as a symptomatic response to the larger issue of rising costs of living, without actively preventing costs from skyrocketing further. Netizen ZaroPauper asked: "How sustainable is this voucher handout scheme that's touted to be a long-term plan?" "These vouchers are a band aid and lack proper targeting mechanisms," added Redditor ceddya. "No one's saying we should rush it, but I don't see why we can't have more discussion around other ways, like wealth taxes or making our income tax more progressive, to address the funding gap." Responsive measures are timely and effective Others, however, had a more positive take. Some defended the payouts as timely support that helps alleviate immediate pressure from inflation and strengthens local businesses. One user, InspiroHymm, suggested that the CDC vouchers are in fact a long-term measure to curb cost of living, by funnelling more money into the economy. "People always say 'do something permanent about cost of living'. In modern economics the only permanent measure is economic (GDP) growth, which boosts wage growth." "There is value in using band aids, especially when the source of the wound is by and large out of your control," quipped Reddit user vecspace. Government's decisions are for the benefit of Singaporeans In a press release issued on April 15, the Ministry of Finance announced that each household will receive $800 in CDC vouchers in FY2025 - $500 in May and $300 in January 2026 - on top of the $300 disbursed in January 2025. At the scheme's launch event in May, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said the Government was committed to helping Singaporeans cope with rising costs. He also addressed concerns about sustainability and such financial assistance as temporary measures. "I assure all of you that this is not a one-off exercise. The Government will provide the help for as long as it is needed. "We want to make sure that when we spend more, we are doing it for the benefit of Singaporeans, but the spending is also sustainable over the medium to longer term."

First BTO flats in Greater Southern Waterfront, Mount Pleasant to go on sale in October
[SINGAPORE] The first flats in two new housing estates – the Greater Southern Waterfront and Mount Pleasant – will be among 10 Build-To-Order (BTO) projects that will go on sale in October. An assisted-living project in Sengkang, which will be the fifth of its kind in Singapore, will also be on offer. The Housing Board will offer about 9,100 flats in Ang Mo Kio, Bedok, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Jurong East, Sengkang, Toa Payoh and Yishun. The project on the site of the former Keppel Club in Bukit Merah, along Telok Blangah Road, will have about 870 units of two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats, and a pre-school. The upcoming blocks will be between 19 and 46 storeys high, and one of them will have rental flats. The development is located between Telok Blangah and Labrador MRT stations. It will kickstart the development of the Greater Southern Waterfront and will form part of 6,000 HDB flats and 3,000 private homes that will be built there. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Tuesday, 12 pm Property Insights Get an exclusive analysis of real estate and property news in Singapore and beyond. Sign Up Sign Up Property analysts said the project could fall under the Prime category, given its location on the city fringe, and is expected to be highly sought after. Plus and Prime flats, which are closer to the city centre, transport nodes and amenities, come with stricter resale conditions, such as a 10-year minimum occupation period and a subsidy clawback, unlike Standard flats. Christine Sun, chief researcher and strategist at Realion Group, expects high demand for the flats at the Greater Southern Waterfront as there is a lack of affordable housing in the area. 'Previously, Singaporeans intending to reside in the area would have to purchase resale condominiums, which may price out the middle-income Singaporeans,' she said. Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at real estate agency Huttons Asia, also expects the project to be popular among flat applicants, as units on the top floors may have unblocked sea views. A second BTO project in Bukit Merah is a 1,020-unit development along Jalan Bukit Merah and Redhill Close. It is about a 10-minute walk to Redhill MRT station. Analysts also expect this project to fall under the Prime category as many amenities, such as hawker centres, supermarkets, coffee shops and a polyclinic are located nearby. In Toa Payoh, a 1,350-unit project comprising two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats will be built in the new Mount Pleasant housing estate, along Thomson Road. The development will have a pre-school, eatery, supermarket and shops. Two of its blocks will be integrated with public rental flats and one block will have rental units only. It is a five-minute walk from the future Mount Pleasant MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line. The project is the first of six BTO projects to be built in the 33ha estate on the site of the Old Police Academy, which will house about 5,000 flats. A view of the new Mount Pleasant housing estate on the site of the Old Police Academy on Mar 5. PHOTO: ST Analysts expect the Mount Pleasant project to be classified as Prime. Sun said the project could see strong interest from families as it is located close to schools like Raffles Girls' School, Raffles Institution, CHIJ Primary and Secondary schools and SJI International School. In Sengkang, a site bounded by Fernvale Street and Fernvale Link will house 830 two-room flexi, four- and five-room flats near Kupang LRT station. It will also have 200 community care apartments, which come with senior-friendly fittings such as wheelchair-accessible bathrooms, as well as health and community services that are meant to help seniors live independently. In Bishan, about 530 units of two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats will be built along Street 12, less than 10 minutes on foot from Bishan MRT station. In Ang Mo Kio, HDB is set to launch a 1,420-unit project comprising two-room flexi, three- and four-room flats. It will be built along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, and the site is about 1km from Yio Chu Kang MRT station. ITE College Central and Nanyang Polytechnic are in the vicinity. Wong Siew Ying, head of research and content at property agency PropNex Realty, said she expects the Bishan and Ang Mo Kio projects - which could be classified as Plus flats - to draw healthy interest as previous BTO projects in the two towns were oversubscribed. Two projects in Bedok and Jurong East are the only ones in the upcoming launch that will have all flat types on offer: two-room flexi, three-, four- and five-room flats as well as three-generation units. The 850-unit project in Bedok will be built along Chai Chee Street. The nearest MRT station is Kembangan, about 1.5km away. In Jurong East, the 620-unit project will be bounded by West Coast Road and Jurong Town Hall Road. It is near a future MRT station on the Jurong Region Line. Two projects in Yishun will offer a combined 1,370 flats. The larger one with 810 units is located in Chencharu, an upcoming HDB residential area. Situated along Chencharu Link and Bah Soon Pah Road, the development is adjacent to Peiying Primary School and Naval Base Secondary School. Khatib MRT station is a 10-minute walk away. The other project, which has 530 units of two-room flexi and four-room flats, is bounded by Yishun Ring Road and Yishun Street 31. In October's sales exercise, a total of about 2,890 two-room flexi flats will be on sale. This is the largest supply of such flats offered in a BTO exercise since the introduction of the two-room flexi scheme in November 2015, noted Wong. 'The higher supply will help to cater to demand for such units among first-timer singles,' she said. The Mount Pleasant project will offer 540 two-room flexi flats, the largest in the upcoming launch. THE STRAITS TIMES
