From ChannelNewsAsia:

Each Singaporean and permanent resident household will be able to collect one Singapore Together Pack, if they wish to, from community centres/clubs (CCs) and residents' committee (RC) centres starting 20 July.

Residents must present their NRIC at the collection counter for verification and can do so between 10am to 6pm daily, except on public holidays. The packs will be available at all CCs until 2 August, and at all RCs until 26 July.

Households are encouraged to send one member to the collection points. There will be safe distancing measures and temperature-taking implemented at the centres to "ensure the safety and well-being of the public, volunteers and staff,” according to the press release.

This year, the NDP Singapore Together Pack will contain a handheld national flag, iron-on patches, a pledge card, and a face tattoo as well as hand sanitisers, a thermometer and face masks will be included, alongside an e-discount booklet of vouchers.
