the price of A60 quoted USD 350 = SGD 600

that's too much different with A40, as it costs SGD400

Read the Canon web site!

There are some BIG differences between the old A40 and the new A60.
In particular, it has Apeture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual
exposure settings. It also has a Manual focus. Unless one is an
inexperienced photographer who does not understand the importance of
being able to set your f/stop and shutter speed and are content to
have the camera make these decisions for you, this amount of control
is what really makes photography both a science and an art.

How's the manual focus done? With buttons, a thumbwheel, or a focus ring?
