The refund can be collected as cash from the departure area in airport or can be requested to refund to the credit card or by bank cheque.
There are some conditions to get this refund,

-Must spend minimum S$100 from any shop in one day.
-Not spent more than 365 days in Singapore before the date of purchase and will not spend more than 365 days in Singapore after the purchase.
