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.

Read our Latest Issue
The September–October issue celebrates The Great Outdoors and the many ways that spending time outside can enrich our lives. Whether it is an ambitious adventure or a simple walk in the fresh air, being outdoors has a unique ability to restore perspective, reduce stress, and help us feel more connected to the world around us.
Two of this issue’s stories explore skiing in Asia,
highlighting destinations that make winter sports more accessible from Singapore than many people realize. The other article offers practical guidance for anyone curious about experiencing the mountains and snow for the first time—or returning to the slopes after a long break.
We also venture into two extraordinary natural
landscapes. In Borneo, ancient rainforests, diverse
wildlife, and remote wilderness areas showcase
the incredible biodiversity of Southeast Asia. Our
feature on southwest China reveals dramatic scenery shaped by mountains, rivers, and centuries of cultural history, reminding us that some of the world’s most memorable outdoor experiences are found in places that encourage us to slow down and look more closely.
The outdoors theme extends beyond travel. Our
article on low-waste living considers how everyday
habits can reduce our environmental footprint
through thoughtful choices about paper, plastic,
food, and clothing waste. Caring for the places we
enjoy begins with the decisions we make at home.
Finally, we examine the connection between
time outdoors and stress reduction. Research
increasingly shows that nature—even in small
doses—can have a measurable impact on mental
well-being. A park, a hiking trail, a beach, or a quiet green space can all provide an opportunity to step away from constant demands and recharge.
