From Singapore's most celebrated retired Olympian to business leaders and professionals, readers from all walks of life share their views on the role of The Straits Times in their lives."The Straits Times in Singapore has always fought to champion the arts, fighting against all sorts of odds, and has come a long way.
"It is quite a reliable source of information throughout the years, a dependable source that I have relied on in following the death of Lee Kuan Yew. It constantly keeps the average Singaporean up to date with reliable news. "Having been an ST reader from the 1950s, reading about sports and sports achievements of previous sportsmen and sportswomen and then being featured myself from the mid-1960s till the present, I see how ST has fulfilled one of its many roles of conveying sports news, inspiring past, present and future sportsmen and sportswomen and their families.
"However, The Strait Times has become more than just a newspaper to Singapore; adapting and improving itself and even starting corporate social responsibility initiatives such as the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund which was launched in 2000 as a community project to provide pocket money for children from low-income families."
"It has kept Singaporeans all over the world updated about the latest events at home as well. As The Straits Times evolves formats, from print to digital, I am confident that it will continue to provide unparalleled in-depth analysis in new and innovative formats.""The Straits Times has been an excellent chronicler of Singapore's modern colonial history.
"Over the years, The Straits Times has evolved to remain relevant. It has now successfully established its presence online, and I am confident that it will continue to make good progress in the new digital world. "The most memorable ST article was written by Rohit Brijnath titled"Syahidah takes aim and fires past adversity". The interview had a different vibe; it wasn't the usual questions about how I first started archery and my achievements. The interview was very personal, but in a non-aggressive way.
"Looking ahead, as gatekeepers of information, I believe that newspapers, including The Straits Times, bear a heavier responsibility when it comes to objectively reporting on current affairs, especially in a time where there seems to be a war what is 'truth'. "Over the decades as Singapore successfully transforms to become an international financial hub, ST has blossomed into a respected and reliable source of news and insights with global coverage, put together by its wide network of overseas correspondents.
