Living in Singapore
Living in Singapore (LIS) magazine is a gazette-style publication produced six times per year by the American Association of Singapore (AAS). Living in Singapore is the revamped version of Singapore American newspaper. Since its first publication in 1958,
​
Singapore American newspaper was the information pipe-line to the American community, to other expats, and to the local community in Singapore. Living in Singapore continues that long tradition.
​
LIS is published five times a year digitally and once in print which is then dropped at places across Singapore, including The American Club, the US Naval facility at PSA Sembawang, the US Embassy, major relocation companies, health institutions, international schools and serviced apartment operators. We're everywhere!
​
Beloved by the expat community, this "home-town paper" is filled with valuable information, informative stories on upcoming cultural and community events, travel, arts and culture, health and wellness, sports, member-offers and places to visit.

A lot of us think that getting healthy means making a big change—starting a new routine or making a New Year’s resolution. But wellness is usually about the small things. It’s the everyday choices that help us feel more like ourselves.
We’re lucky in Singapore to be surrounded by so many green spaces. In this issue, we share some of our favorite ways to enjoy nature nearby—whether it’s a walk along a shady park path or exploring a pocket of rainforest. We also take a closer look at the trees that make our city unique. If you’ve ever stood under a Rain Tree or enjoyed the scent of an Angsana, you’ll know how grounding it can feel. These trees remind us that growing strong takes time, and that real strength is often quiet.
We’re also taking time to look inward. Our articles on anxiety and burnout touch on challenges that many of us deal with, especially in a fast-paced place like Singapore. Wellness isn’t just about physical health—it’s about how we feel, how we connect with others, and how we handle change. You’ll find practical tips for everyday health, a spotlight on men’s health (which doesn’t get talked about enough), and some thoughts on how moving or starting over—something many expats know well—can throw us off balance.
