Singapore’s Golden Jubilee is a time of great celebration indeed! We’re thankful for this little red dot we live in, and we’re already looking forward to a long weekend of festivities in August.

As icing on the cake, there are plenty of freebies to commemorate SG50. While some may be delivered straight to you (like the commemorative Lego sets distributed to students and teachers), others may require you to register online or physically redeem your gift.

To help you keep track, we at GET.com have come up with a list of SG50 freebies and what you need to do to get them:

Free For Everyone

Learn

The People’s Association is offering 2,000 free courses across all Community Clubs and Water Venture Outlets till 30 September. However, online registration is not available; you will have to register in person at the particular CC or WV Outlet offering that course.

If you are not already a PAssion Card member, you will receive a free card when you sign up for your course. PAssion Card comes with many benefits, such as giving you discounts at many stores and restaurants.

Download the GETdeals™ app so that you can see PAssion card discounts and deals near you! With this one app, you are able to see deals not just from PAssion card, but also from the many different banks in Singapore.

Play

Local developers have rolled out 5 free mobile games, which will simultaneously entertain players, share fun facts about Singapore’s heritage, and celebrate our unique Singaporean-ness.

The games - Building the Lion, KAN-CHEONG! Kopitiam Saga, My Singapore City, Rickshaw Rush and Satay Club – are available on Apple as well as Android phones.

Remember

Every Singaporean and PR household will receive a SG50 Funpack, containing a combination of snacks and games reminiscent of your childhood days.

Check your mailbox for a postcard with further information on how to collect the Funpack.

Read

The Straits Times is giving everyone free access to 50 online articles in July. But you can also register for free to get unlimited access till 9 Aug.

SG50 Senior Specials

We’re glad that the Government has prepared a number of goodies just for senior citizens – because without them, there would be no us!

Here are some notable freebies to look out for:

Jubilee Baby Bonuses

Attention parents of Jubilee babies! You’ve probably heard of the Government’s SG50 Baby Jubilee Gift for all Singaporean babies born in 2015. This practical gift pack includes a scrapbook, baby sling, shawl, diaper bag and children’s books. Register online for home delivery.

Here are some other things you can look out for:

POSB will present your baby with a Smiley Gift bag if you register online via its website within this year.

Great Eastern Life Assurance is offering Jubilee babies free health insurance coverage for one year.

AIA is offering parents of Jubilee babies one year’s worth of free insurance cover under the AIA Secure Term Plus II. Well to be exact, it’s actually offering a 50% discount on premiums for the first two years.

Happy SG50 everyone!
