The Straits Times, the English flagship daily of SPH, has been serving readers for more than a century. Launched on July 15, 1845, its comprehensive coverage of world news, East Asian news, Southeast Asian news, home news, sports news, financial news and lifestyle updates makes The Straits Times the most-read newspaper in Singapore.
Quality news, in-depth analyses, impactful commentaries and breaking stories are packaged to give readers riveting accounts of events in Singapore, the region, and beyond.

The Straits Times' key strength is in its world class coverage of news outside Singapore. With 16 bureaus in major cities around the world, The Straits Times correspondents bring world news to readers on a Singapore platter, helping them appreciate world events from a Singaporean perspective.

In keeping with the times, The Straits Times introduced weekly supplements such as Digital Life, Urban and Mind Your Body to complement The Straits Times as well as IN and Little Red Dot to cater to young readers in schools.

An active member of the community, The Straits Times was named "Newspaper of the Year" by the Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers' Association (PANPA) for its ability to connect with its local community through its Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund programme, which raises funds for children from low-income families, and its extensive foreign news coverage and analysis.
