The Straits Times, a privately owned company headquartered in Singapore, was founded in 1845 and employs approximately 140 individuals. The company specializes in newspaper publishing, functioning as a media company in Asia.
On August 19, 2026, The Straits Times reported that the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) received over 60 complaints, totaling more than $271,000 in pre-payment losses, against bridal store Korea Artiz Studio following its abrupt cessation of operations. Previously, a 2026 Reuters Institute Digital News Report, published on June 16, indicated that The Straits Times ranked as the third most-used online news source in Singapore, with 44% of respondents accessing it weekly, placing it behind CNA (47%) and Mothership (45%). Earlier, on June 8, the publication carried a piece by former editor-in-chief Warren Fernandez, titled "With or Without You: The U2 Doctrine Comes to Shangri-La," originally published on June 3. This followed the May 22 launch of a new monthly analysis series from The Straits Times, which focuses on political and trending topics and alternates between its Malaysia and Greater China bureaus; the May edition featured deputy foreign editor Albert Wai and senior China correspondent Yew Lun Tian discussing a Xi-Trump summit. The Straits Times' "ST Invest" editor also spoke on May 16 at the first of six financial literacy workshops, which focused on retirement planning.
