There’s a special sense of pride when you come across something unique with a “Made in Singapore” label. The affordable — or free! — shipping rates certainly help, and you can get a good deal with the right credit card for shopping. We hunt down the local Singaporean brands that carry merchandise worth your hard-earned cash, and with promo codes to soften the sting when you hit the checkout button.
A for Arcade
The look and feel of the A for Arcade online store is unabashedly hipster, but that doesn’t mean you should only shop there if that’s your style aesthetic. Pieces are very versatile, such as a vintage-inspired yellow midi dress that could be styled as classic or post-modern. It’s easy to find something your closet absolutely needs — even if you’re a bridesmaid. (They really do have a category just for bridesmaids!)

Promo Code: 
Have a DBS credit card? Enter “afadbs10” for 10% off until 31 December 2017.
House of Sheens
If you like your accessories of impeccable quality, House of Sheens carries a collection of bags and shoes made of luxury leather. Their roomy calfskin travel totes and multi-coloured snakeskin ballet flats are easy to incorporate into your every-day wardrobe, while lush python-skin clutches adorned with a silver spider (yes, really) up the ante for a night out.
Promo Code: First-time buyers get 10% off when you sign up for their mailing list. Or enter promo code “KICKSTART15” for 15% off until 31 May 2017.
Naiise
The sheer range of merchandise aside — we can browse for hours — the nice thing about shopping at Naiise is the strong local flavor that characterises the stuff they carry. Where else can you get an oversized pandan chiffon cake cushion (adorable!) or nasi lemak tea (hmm…)?
Promo Code: If you have an OCBC credit or debit card, enjoy 8% off when you enter “OCBC<first six digits of your card number>” at checkout. Offer expires 31 March 2018. We suggest the OCBC Frank Card so you can get 6% cash rebate off your online purchases.
Scene Shang
Few do chinoiserie chic like Scene Shang, which is best exemplified by their trademark Shang System range of furniture. Maybe your home can’t accommodate a Ming Dynasty-inspired cabinet, but surely there’s space for pretty home wares, such as patterned mugs designed like the ubiquitous thermal flasks of yore.
Promo Code: Have a UOB credit card? Enter “UOBXSS30” for 30% off home wares until 30 June 2017.
The Lorem Ipsum Store
Playful and whimsical necklaces that combine cute shapes with bright colours in contemporary styles are what this accessories brand is known for. The necklaces are handmade, so you can put in a request for customising the colour of the beads or length of the necklace.
Promo Code: Have a UOB credit card? Enter “UOB<first six digits of your card number>” to enjoy 10% until 31 December 2017.

不满疫情下举行选举 公民入禀法庭提宪法挑战

新加坡公民迪哥达(Daniel De Costa),前日由代表律师拉维(M Ravi)入禀法庭,针对疫情下举行选举提出宪法挑战,而法庭将在下周一(29日)聆审。 迪哥达申诉在当前情况下选举,已经违反让人民参与自由公平选举的权益。为此要求法庭重申公民投票的权益。 而拉维则将协助迪哥达,援引选举法第24(3)项,申请禁令禁止选举官当前进行选举程序。 法庭受理上述入禀,原本聆审定在7月2日,即提名日(6月30日)后,不过拉维在昨日的审前会议挑战,提名日当天都可能出现不劳而获的议席,为此申诉聆审应在提名日之前进行。 而拉维稍后接受本社采访,认为针对民主党副主席陈两裕的个案,政府似乎没把在宪法下赋予公民投票的权益当一回事。迪哥达也关注,在疫情下的选举公民的投票权益是否遭侵蚀。

为五月和六月作准备? 选举局:承包商自行选择选举筹备工作

日前,本社报导近期求职网站出现招聘“活动助理”的启事,求职条件之一为“五月到六月间”可被安排到各处地点。有相关参与培训课程的求职者也反映,有关职缺旨在提供选举的物流支援。 负责培训的公司是新科综合服务(ST Synthesis)。尽管本社曾针对此事质询选举局,惟后者则已接受《联合早报》质询并作出答复。有关报导则指,作为承包商,ST Synthesis是自行选择开始为选举筹备。 选举局称,ST Synthesis自行开始它每个季度的筹备工作,包括招聘与培训临时工。此举乃是为了履行承包合约的要求,并在大选随时启动时,都能做好准备。 选举局也指不会干涉上述承包商如何履行合约需求。 根据政府招标记录,有关承包商曾在2015年,为选举局提供选举物流支援和仓储服务长达六年。 本社也曾询问选举局,上述承包商要求求职者需在五月和六月作准备,为此选举局是否也在那段期间作相应筹备?惟后者未给予回应。
