What We Do

Publications

 
Living in Singapore Magazine

An information pipeline to the American community in Singapore, Living in Singapore magazine is the preeminent and most widely-read association magazine in town. Its predecessor, the Singapore American newspaper, had been published since 1958 before Living in Singapore magazine took its place. The magazine features content covering a wide variety of topics pertinent to both the expat and local communities. Our in-house editorial staff and our stable of freelance writers contribute depth and scope to the journalistic and photographic content.

Living in Singapore 15th Edition Reference Guide (LIS)

This must-have, all-encompassing reference guide is published biennially and provides everything you need to know about dining, the arts, entertainment, family life, and so much more. LIS is a trusted reference for those who have just arrived in town and an old friend to revisit again and again—even when you’ve lived here for many years. Living in Singapore is an essential tool to make life in the Lion City a little bit easier.

Programs

Home Hospitality

The American Association is particularly proud to organize Home Hospitality in support of our military service men and women. Alongside members of our Sister Organizations (the organizations we helped launch over our long and storied history), our members of all nationalities open their homes to US service people visiting Singapore while on deployment overseas. Some hosts offer a home-cooked meal, while other families instead pick a local eatery where they can meet up and share a bite. Friendly faces and warm conversation are greatly appreciated by those who have been spending their time at sea! This program provides our sailors with a brief reminder of "family" while in Singapore.
