Trust Singaporeans to find a way to monetise almost anything.
Stomper Steven alerted Stomp to multiple listings on Carousell advertising the sale of SG Culture Pass credits despite it not being allowed.
On Sept 1, Singapore citizens aged 18 and above received SG Culture Pass credits worth S$100. They are meant to encourage Singaporeans to explore local arts and heritage.
However, some sellers have been spotted selling them for as high as $90.
On Sept 16, Stomp checked Carousell and confirmed several such listings.
"I'm surprised to see SG Culture Pass credits put on sale on Carousell," Steven said.
"Previously, the sale of NDP tickets, CDC and SG60 vouchers was banned. But why not SG Culture Pass credits too?"
In August, the Community Development Councils (CDCs) said they will work with e-commerce platforms such as Carousell and Facebook Marketplace to take down listings selling CDC and SG60 vouchers.
According to the FAQ section of the official SG Culture Pass website, selling the credits for cash is not allowed.
It states: "You are strongly encouraged to use the SG Culture Pass credits to discover, enjoy and engage in the diverse range of local arts and heritage events offered under the scheme, to enrich your experience."
