When cards will be available?
I think never. they promiced cards in September 2017.. than soon.. soon ...soon... Now September 2018 and still nothing.
I would say the scenario is quite different this time round. In Sept 2017, they had no app ready despite cards promised. This time round, app is ready and for Singapore residents, you can actually submit your documents in for actual verification. With that said, I'm not sure how they can recover their trust if they miss this deadline as well.
