Behind every conversation over kopi, every hawker centre queue and every MRT commute lies a story that shapes our shared Singapore identity.
It is in the 3am prata sessions that spark life-changing conversations. It lives in the memories of moving from kampung to a Housing Board flat.
Watch to learn how you can take part in Your Singapore Story.
It is woven into childhood games of zero point at the void deck, and in the familiar smile of the uncle who has been peddling ice cream on his motorcycle for the past decade.
To mark our 180th anniversary, The Straits Times is launching a special feature to capture these precious narratives that shape our diverse communities, neighbourhoods and who we are as a people.
Your story could be rooted in the nostalgia of teenage adventures. It could be an origin story of your grandfather’s arrival at Clifford Pier with nothing but hope and a dream. It could be the story you want to write for your future – and your family’s.
It could be the daily moments that bind us together.
We’d love to tell your Singapore Story.
