Straits Times readers have until next Wednesday to sign up for a special subscription package which, apart from giving access to the print and online editions, offers a chance to win a trip for two to a dream destination.
Over the last two months, booths have been set up around Singapore offering gifts and entry to a lucky draw to new subscribers to the All-In-One (AIO) package.
Therapist Rae Neo, 23, one of the drive's youngest subscribers, has been reading the paper for a decade. "I chose the AIO package because my family of four can browse the news conveniently on our smartphones even if we may not find time to read the print version," she said.
New subscribers to the AIO package stand a chance to win a trip for two to their dream destination or a retreat at Resorts World Sentosa.
Logistics manager Charlotte Toh, 42, said that while the lucky draw was attractive, having the paper readily available to her family members was what mattered.

"The AIO package makes it easy for my children to log in and access the digital version of the paper when they need help with their projects," she said.
Besides The Straits Times All-In-One subscription, readers can sign up for ST-New Paper or ST-Lianhe Wanbao bundles.
Mr Foo Ming Yann, 50, who owns a construction firm, found the latter bundle convenient for his family. "I have been a reader of The Straits Times for close to 37 years and I also like to stay connected with my mother tongue. My wife and I regularly read the Chinese paper as well," he said.
"After my last subscription lapsed, I was on the lookout for a package that had both a Chinese and an English daily, so this was the right choice for me."
