SINGAPORE — All Singaporean babies born next year will receive a commemorative birth certificate, along with other presents to mark the country’s Golden Jubilee.

This was shared by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Grace Fu on the sidelines of a ministerial community visit to Yio Chu Kang yesterday morning.

Over the past few weeks, the public has been asked to vote for five of 15 shortlisted items that they would like to see included in a Jubilee Baby Gift package.

The package will be given to all Singapore babies as part of next year’s Singapore 50 (SG50) celebrations. So far, 15,000 votes have been submitted.

The community initiative is led by the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD), which comes under the Prime Minister’s Office.

The NPTD received 6,500 ideas when it called for gift ideas from the public at the beginning of last month.

Ms Fu, who is also Second Minister for the Environment and Water Resources and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, said popular items include a special commemorative medallion and a baby sling. Other items on the shortlist are a family photo frame, scrapbook and diaper bag.

The month-long poll will close on May 15. OLIVIA SIONG
