Last month, the National Environment Agency (NEA) announced that from Sept 1, patrons at hawker centres risk being warned or fined if they do not clear litter on their tables and return their dirty trays and crockery after a meal. Later in the year, this will also apply at food courts and coffee shops.
From now until Aug 31, there will be an advisory period when NEA will not take enforcement action. In the meantime, safe distancing ambassadors, SG Clean ambassadors, community volunteers and NEA officers deployed at hawker centres will continue to remind diners to clear their dirty trays, crockery and litter.

From Sept 1, first-time offenders will be issued with a stern warning, while second-time offenders will get a S$300 fine. Subsequent offenders may face court fines. The Singapore Food Agency will work with NEA to roll out enforcement progressively at coffee shops and foodcourts in the fourth quarter of this year.

Meanwhile, NEA will be working with stakeholders, such as cleaning companies, to revise the table cleaning workflow for cleaners. The new workflow will focus on the cleaning and sanitising of tables, as well as managing tray return stations, as opposed to clearing dirty trays and food remnants from tables. The NEA will also be setting up 75 more tray return stations at hawker centres, in addition to the 900 available now.
From Sept 1, enforcement action will be taken against those who do not clean up after themselves in public dining places, a move that comes after years of extensive educational efforts to change the behaviour and mindsets of diners.
First-time offenders will be given a written warning. Second-time offenders will face a $300 composition fine, and subsequent offences may lead to court fines, which can go up to $2,000 for the first conviction. Enforcement action will not be taken against those with disabilities or are frail and elderly and unable to clear the tables.

Singapore Post will be distributing a Stay Prepared leaflet with a redemption tab to each household letterbox between Monday, 28 June 2021 and Saturday, 3 July 2021. Simply take the leaflet (complete with the redemption tab) to any of the collection outlets to redeem an oximeter.
To collect the oximeter, residents must bring along the leaflet complete with the redemption tab, to any of the participating supermarket and pharmacy outlets of NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Giant, Cold Storage, Watsons, Unity, or Guardian island-wide.
Temasek Foundation announced on 24 June 2021 that it is providing one free oximeter for every Singapore household to enable everyone to monitor their blood oxygen levels regularly.
“Silent pneumonia” is one of the most serious consequences of COVID-19, where seriously ill people can feel generally well, despite damaged lungs and dangerously low levels of oxygen.
An oximeter can help alert us to seek medical attention when the levels become dangerously low. Temasek Foundation is providing oximeters under its Stay Prepared initiative to help everyone to stay safe, especially with the emergence of new and more infectious COVID-19 variants.

Before 1 Aug '21
After 1 Aug '21
Currently, NTUC Plus! members can earn 2 LinkPoints for every dollar spent at NTUC supermarkets.
From 1 August 2021, Plus! members can earn 0.5 LinkPoints for every $1 spent when you shop in-store at FairPrice supermarkets. Digital Club members are entitled to double the amount of LinkPoints for every $1 spent.
Bonus LinkPoints earn rate: In addition to earning the base rate of 0.5 LinkPoints for every $1 spent in-store, you can qualify for a bonus earn rate of 1.33 LinkPoints for every $1 spent when you spend $400 and above monthly at FairPrice, Unity, Warehouse Club, and Cheers stores.
The bonus LinkPoints earned per $1 spend will be computed and credited on the first day of the following month.
If you shop online at Fairprice supermarkets, in addition to earning the base of 0.5 LinkPoints for every $1 spend, Digital Club members are entitled to double the amount of LinkPoints (1 LinkPoint) for every $1 spend.
The change in the redemption rate from 150 LinkPoints = $1 to 100 LinkPoints = $1 will apply across all Plus! partners including FairPrice. With this adjustment, some Plus! partners have had their LinkPoints earn rate changed as well.

In the transition to the new LinkPoints redemption rate, your existing LinkPoints balance and history will be revaluated to ensure that their dollar value remains unchanged. E.g. Before the revaluation on 1 August 2021, 150 LinkPoints = $1 and you had 3600 LinkPoints (worth $24).
After the revaluation on 1 August 2021, 100 LinkPoints = $1, your balance will be adjusted to 2400 LinkPoints which will still have the same dollar value of $24.
All Plus! members will have the LinkPoints balance and history in their accounts revalued on 1 August 2021.
