Transcript

4 Mr Yip Hon Weng asked the Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth whether the Ministry will consider expanding the usability of ActiveSG credits to include sports facilities beyond those currently under ActiveSG, such as those in community centres and The Kallang, to offer residents greater flexibility and encourage wider participation.

The Senior Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (Ms Goh Hanyan) (for the Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth): The Government is committed to ensuring that public sports facilities remain accessible and affordable for all Singaporeans.

ActiveSG credits can be used at all ActiveSG sports facilities, including ActiveSG’s World Aquatics Championship Arena at The Kallang, as well as community sport facilities in Our Tampines Hub and Senja-Cashew Community Club. The credits can also be used to offset the cost of ActiveSG and Active Health programmes.

Since November 2025, we have also expanded the use of ActiveSG credits across more than 370 school sports facilities under the Dual-Use Scheme (DUS), providing more opportunities for the public to utilise their ActiveSG credits.

SportSG will continue to explore ways to expand the use of ActiveSG credits at more public sports facilities.

Mr Speaker: Mr Yip.

Mr Yip Hon Weng (Yio Chu Kang): I thank the Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the reply. I ask this Parliamentary Question because I have been approached by many residents who have asked to use the ActiveSG credits in community facilities, like in the Community Clubs for sports. And I want to ask the Ministry whether it will consider opening it up and ensuring that there is no fragmentation and there are no barriers to continue to help Singaporeans to remain active and healthy.

Ms Goh Hanyan: Sir, I appreciate the Member raising the interest from his residents. We are aligned in wanting to provide more access to these facilities for our Singaporeans. Rest assured, Sport SG is working on enhancing the My ActiveSG+ booking system – first, focusing on enhancing and improving the user experience before working on expanding the use of ActiveSG credits for People's Association facilities. So, this is currently in the works.
