This is my faithful partner I bring along whenever I am in the toilet - My life will never be the same without it. All my daily dosage of information from around the world comes from here.
Sections of it that I particularly look forward to are:
Life Section - Here is where I get all the juicy gossip news of celebrities, and all the relevant cinema timings.
Sports - EPL, Champions League, NBA, F1, S-League (ok not exactly in the same class, but you get my drift)
Money - Investment tips, oil prices, market and stocks movement
Urban - Latest fashion tips on what's hot and what's not. Sometimes you get good tips on what to get for your female species.
Job Classified (Saturdays especially) - Looking for a job? Nothing beats this edition where you find out which industry is actively looking for people.
To end it off, nothing beats a copy of Straits Time on board the plane every time I travel back from overseas. AHhh... the familiarity of having the world under my feet.

The daily paper and holy grail of information. At least in Singapore, The Straits Times paper has been around for a rather long time, pretty much as old as Singapore itself. Now, this wouldn't be a big deal if the paper has not evolved throughout the years and basically, despite the information revolution and the internet, The Straits Times remains as relevant as ever.
The paper itself is seperated into multiple sections for easy reading. This basically seperates the paper into sections with Asean news, world news, Singapore, leisure and classifieds. All in all, its a wonderfully simple segregation which ultimately works well.
In particular interest to me will be the Money section, Life and the classifieds which more or less qualifies under the "actionable" category as opposed to the other sections which are mainly for information only.
Despite talks of the internet evolving the world into a paperless society, the Straits Times perservered and remains as ever, a necessity when having a nice cup of coffee in the morning.
Well done.

Having read the newspapers since young, I found this to be information in certain areas. As it is a local news, the news are focused on local news although, not all news.
News about overseas have to be sourced from elsewhere and the online site provides only a certain number of free stories. The members have to pay a subscription if they want to read other news. A discount is given only to those who have a subscription to the print version too.
I find this an extra cost. Other news sites like New York Times, The Herald (UK), and BBC offer free RSS feeds for all news based on the categories.
It would be a better experience if RSS feeds are also offered so as to trim down reading time.
