Neighbourhood news, rewritten for clarity
StraitsFeed publishes short, factual briefs about developments across the island — from reservoir maintenance notices to weekend MRT diversions — without pretending to be a wire service or an official bulletin board.
How we choose stories
StraitsFeed is not a scraper and not a copy of any national title. Our editors read municipal notices, corporate filings, sports federation calendars, and community board minutes, then rewrite the essentials into plain English for a general reader. We prioritise items that affect daily routines — water pressure, bus reroutes, hawker stall relocations, youth league fixtures — rather than celebrity gossip or speculative trading tips.
Every category page groups briefs by theme so you can skim what matters to you. We date each piece when the underlying event is scheduled or when the source document was published, and we link to longer reads where our team has prepared additional context. If a story involves legal proceedings, we describe charges and dates without implying guilt or innocence.
We publish from a small editorial desk in the Telok Ayer area. We do not claim access to embargoed government releases, and we do not accept payment to place or remove coverage. Advertising, if introduced later, will be labelled clearly and kept separate from news pages in line with Google publisher policies.

Transparency for readers and advertisers
StraitsFeed lists a physical editorial address, telephone number, and email on every page footer. Our about page explains ownership, correction policy, and how we handle tips. Legal policies — privacy, terms, and cookies — describe data use in plain language consistent with Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act.
We do not display registration numbers such as UEN or GST on this site because we are a publication, not a storefront. If you spot a factual error, write to [email protected] with the headline and source you believe we misread; we aim to append corrections within two working days when verification is straightforward.
Whether you are a resident checking whether your block's lifts will be serviced, a shop owner reading about rent relief, or a parent looking up youth football fixtures, StraitsFeed is built to save you time. Bookmark the categories you care about, or start with today's ticker above — the island moves quickly, but your morning coffee does not have to be interrupted by jargon.
