Some even bundling them with CDC vouchers in so-called "package deals," Shin Min Daily News reported on Thursday (July 3). The SG60 vouchers, a one-off initiative, were released to celebrate Singapore's 60th year of independence. They can be used at all businesses that accept CDC vouchers and are valid until Dec 31, 2026. Since their release, over 450,000 Singaporeans aged 60 and above have claimed the SG60 vouchers. Those aged 21 to 59 will be eligible to claim $600 worth of vouchers starting from July 22. Shin Min Daily News found that as soon as the SG60 vouchers were issued, there were at least three listings on Carousell. They were advertised as "CD Vouchers" or "supermarket voucher" - likely to bypass the platform's moderation system. One seller, speaking to a Shin Min reporter posing as a buyer, claimed to have $500 in CDC vouchers and said he would include the SG60 vouchers for a $20 "discount. The seller said that once payment was made, he would share a link to the buyer where he could use the SG60 vouchers. He also claimed that selling the vouchers is not illegal since "other people are doing the same". The seller reassured the reporter that he would not use the vouchers once they were sold. "Last year, a buyer also bought the CDC vouchers and everything went smoothly," he added. Checks by AsiaOne found that all the listings were removed from Carousell. Responding to Shin Min's queries, a spokesperson for Carousell said that it takes any illegal transactions seriously, including the resale of SG60 vouchers. Carousell said that it uses artificial intelligence to regularly check new listings on the platform and promptly remove those that violate regulations. The spokesperson also called on users to actively report any illegal listings on its website and mobile application.

    • https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/asian/japanese-company-force-staff-take-nudes-grab-testicles-845081   Japanese company Neo Corporation is under fire for allegedly subjecting its employees to shocking and humiliating abuse. The Osaka-based firm, which manufactures and sells electronic machinery and electric-saving equipment, is facing intense scrutiny after five employees filed a lawsuit against it for abuse, improper wage deductions, and power harassment. They are seeking 19mil yen (S$167K) in compensation. According to the employees, the company, which is known for offering generous sales commissions, would punish staff who failed to meet targets with degrading and painful acts. These reportedly included forcing employees to take nude photos of themselves and having bosses grab the testicles of male staff. One employee claimed that managers would forward the nude pics to other colleagues, and the targeted staff member would receive a screenshot with the message: “It has been shared.” He added that his superior often punished him physically by grabbing his testicles. “My boss claimed he wasn’t using much force, but it was so painful I could hardly speak,” he recounted. “This kind of thing happens all the time.” When he reported the abuse to the branch manager, he was met with laughter and told: “Everyone has gone through this.” The employee was later diagnosed with adjustment disorder and depression. The allegations don’t stop there. The company has also been accused of verbal abuse and forcing staff to work excessive overtime. In one reported case, a branch manager was allegedly slapped by a company director for skipping a company gathering. Staff also claimed the company withheld sales commissions and, at times, demanded employees transfer money back after receiving their salaries. Harsh fines were reportedly imposed for various infringements — including traffic violations — with some penalties as high as six million yen (S$52K). According to a report by SCMP, Neo Corporation has denied all allegations. “Harassment has no place in our corporate culture. There are also factual errors based on one-sided perspectives," it asserted. The claims have sparked outrage online. Many netizens said the company’s alleged practices go far beyond workplace harassment, with some insisting that forcing and sharing nudes constitute a crime. Japan currently does not impose criminal penalties for workplace harassment, and victims have no clear legal grounds to claim damages, according to the Women’s Studies International Forum. The company once boasted that more than half of its employees earn earn more than 10 million yen (S$88K) annually. But if the whistleblowers’ accusations are true, no amount of money can justify the terror endured by staff behind closed doors.
