The Straits Times

The Straits Times is a newspaper in Singapore. It was started in 1845. It prints news on a broadsheet. The newspaper belongs to Singapore Press Holdings.

On August 9, 1965, Singapore left Malaysia and the paper was more focused on Singapore and they created New Straits Times so Malaysians could still read the news.
