S'poreans get free entry to national museums

S'poreans, PRs to get free entry to national museums & heritage institutions

Singaporeans and permanent residents will soon be able to visit national museums and heritage institutions for free, all year round.

Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong made the announcement during the debate on the Ministry's budget in Parliament on Friday.


The free admission, which starts from 18 May, does not include special exhibitions with external partners that are not about the National Collection.


Mr Wong said: "We will start from the 18th of May, with the launch of this year's Children's Season at the museums. I think it's a fitting day to start free entry because 18 May also happens to be International Museum Day."


Surveys show three in four Singaporeans agree that participating in heritage activities and visiting museums will help them develop a greater sense of belonging to Singapore.


However, only one in five Singaporeans actually visited local museums and heritage institutions.


Mr Wong hopes this move will encourage more Singaporeans to visit the museums and heritage institutions.


The free entry will apply to the following museums and heritage institutions:


National Museums -

Singapore Art Museum
National Museum of Singapore
Asian Civilisations Museum
The Peranakan Museum
Singapore Philatelic Museum
National Art Gallery (slated to open in 2015)

Heritage Institutions -
Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall
Malay Heritage Centre
Indian Heritage Centre (slated to open in 2015)

Interpretative Centre -
Reflections at Bukit Chandu

New bus service to link Choa Chu Kang to CBD

Residents in Choa Chu Kang will soon have a new bus service to the Central Business District (CBD).

A new parallel service, Service 982E, will begin operations from Monday, 18 March.

The transport operator added that the service offers commuters not only more convenience, but also gives them an alternative travel option on top of other bus services, the LRT, and the MRT.

Service 982E will operate two one-way trips on weekday mornings at 7.40 am and 7.50 am from Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4, Choa Chu Kang Way, Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1 and Teck Whye Avenue to areas within the CBD such as Anson Road, Robinson Road and Marina Boulevard.

以后可上当店 变卖贵重物品

以后可上当店 变卖贵重物品

当店兼做二手商!消费者不久后可以到当铺变卖贵重物品,而不只是典当物品。

过往,有不少公众到当铺,希望能卖出个人物品,而不仅是典当物品。根据律政部属下典当商注册局现有的条例,当铺是不准充当二手商的,因此有不少人会被回拒,得另外把东西卖给二手商。

新加坡当商公会会长何谦诚受访时说,随着有更多新的当店加入典当店业,竞争更激烈,因此业者都希望能够兼做二手商。典当商注册局因此在和当商公会进行讨论后,如今也允许当商兼做二手商。

本地有200当店

何谦诚透露,当局拟定了一些条规,例如有兴趣经营二手生意的当铺,必须在当铺内另设一个柜台,专门售卖这些二手物品。他们得向有关当局提出申请,获得了批准,才能够开始变卖物品。

当逾$200物品要有担保人,当商公会盼修改条规。
