Singapore Pools rolls out new lottery game with fixed winnings June 12 to curb illegal gambling
SINGAPORE, June 4 — Singapore-owned lottery company Singapore Pools will launch a new fixed-bet game called Toto Match with its first draw on June 12.
The game is being introduced in response to public demand for a fixed-payout model in the popular Toto lottery, according to several Singapore-based news agencies.
The company also hopes the new game will help deter gamblers from turning to illegal betting operators.
Sales for Toto Match will begin from June 10 at all Singapore Pools branches and authorised outlets.
Unlike the traditional Toto game which offers a jackpot prize, Toto Match pays out a fixed amount per dollar bet.
This means the higher your bet, the bigger your potential payout.
How it works
Punters can place bets under two types of games, and may choose to play either or both.
In the first game type, players select between two and four numbers from 1 to 49.
They win if all their selected numbers match the six winning numbers in the Toto draw.
For every S$1 bet, the payout is S$50 for two matched numbers, S$500 for three, and S$7,000 for four.
In the second game type, players pick one number from 1 to 49.
They win S$30 for every S$1 bet if their chosen number matches the additional number drawn in the Toto draw.
Only bets placed under Toto Match are eligible for the fixed payouts.
Regular Toto bets do not qualify for these prizes.

Samenta calls for higher SST threshold to help SMEs
Samenta said many small businesses are already struggling with high costs, weaker customer spending and uncertainty in export markets. PETALING JAYA : The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (Samenta) has called on the government to raise the sales and services tax (SST) threshold or exempt micro and small enterprises to protect them from financial pressure when the The Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (Samenta) has called on the government to raise the sales and services tax (SST) threshold or exempt micro and small enterprises to protect them from financial pressure when the revised tax starts on July 1. Samenta chairman William Ng said the current threshold of RM500,000 in annual turnover should be raised to RM2 million so that only medium and larger businesses are affected. He said that many small businesses are still dealing with high operating costs, weakening consumer demand and uncertainty in export markets — conditions that could get worse after the halt in US tariffs ends on July 8. 'Against this backdrop, revising the SST without sufficient exemptions or a higher threshold for SMEs risks compounding the cost burden on businesses that are least equipped to absorb it,' he said in a statement today. William Ng. 'This impact is not limited to raw material costs but extends to rent and business-to-business services that will now fall under the SST's expanded scope. 'These increases will almost certainly be passed on to consumers, further driving up the cost of living.' Ng also urged the customs department to immediately issue sector-specific guidelines to help SMEs determine their tax obligations under the expanded scope. 'Without clarity, many SMEs risk falling into unintentional non-compliance, despite the enforcement grace period until the end of 2025,' he said. He also asked for clarification on whether the tax should be applied based on when invoices are issued or when payments are received, especially for invoices sent before July 1. While supporting the idea of a fair and progressive tax system, Ng also criticised the lack of meaningful consultation with stakeholders. 'While we were given a briefing on the expanded SST, they cannot consider this a consultation when it is presented as 'fait accompli',' he said.

Vietnam's EV maker reports US$712mil net loss in Q1
Vinfast delivered 36,330 EVs in the first three months of the year. (EPA Images pic) HANOI : Vietnam's first homegrown car manufacturer Vinfast today said it recorded net losses of US$712 million in the first quarter of the year despite more deliveries. The communist nation's electric vehicle (EV) firm is aiming to compete with global giants such as Tesla but has struggled to break into the international market. The company said today it delivered 36,330 EVs in the first three months of the year, representing a year-on-year increase of 296%. Total revenues were US$656.5 million, up by almost 150% from the same period in 2024. Vinfast chairman Thuy Le said the increase in deliveries represented an 'encouraging start to 2025 amid ongoing global uncertainties'. Last year, the company's net loss was over US$3 billion despite almost tripling deliveries of its cars. Global trade has been disrupted by a tariff blitz launched in April by US President Donald Trump. Hanoi said last week it was making progress in talks with Washington to head off Trump's threatened 46% levy against export-reliant Vietnam. VinFast's parent company Vingroup is hugely powerful in Vietnam, and its business interests span everything from healthcare to real estate and education to tech.

DBS Breaks US$100 Billion Barrier, Becomes Singapore's First Bank To Hit Milestone
DBS Group Holdings Ltd has become the first Singapore-based bank to cross the US$100 billion mark in market capitalisation, bolstered by a rally in its share price and a strengthening Singapore dollar. Shares of Southeast Asia's largest lender rose as much as 0.8% on June 9 to S$45.50, pushing its market value to S$129 billion (US$100.2 billion). The stock has gained 4.3% so far in 2025, with much of the appreciation amplified in US dollar terms due to a 6% rise in the Singapore dollar against the greenback. The milestone comes on the heels of robust financial performance and investor confidence. Singaporean banks, including DBS, have committed to returning billions in surplus capital to shareholders following record earnings in 2024. DBS' gains were driven by higher lending activity and wealth management fees. Tan Su Shan, who succeeded longtime Chief Executive Officer Piyush Gupta in March, said during her debut earnings call that the bank is positioning itself to capture value from supply chain shifts and increasing demand for foreign exchange hedging services. DBS is also strengthening its foothold in private banking. According to Asian Private Banker, it remains the third-largest wealth manager in Asia outside mainland China. The bank recorded S$21 billion in net new money last year, marking its third consecutive year of inflows above S$20 billion. Related
