Singpore’s latest news portal – Singanews will be launched in October this year. It is owned by Singa Communications set up by ex Straits Times journalist Matthew Yap. The company has about $90,000 in seed funding.
It was supposed to be a “secular” news portal to “offer alternative viewpoints and fill in the gaps left by mainstream media which sometimes fails to cover a story due to one reason or another”, but its soft launch took place in a church.
