'The Straits Times' is an English language daily broadsheet newspaper based in Singapore currently owned by Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). It is the country's highest-selling paper, with a current daily circulation of nearly 400,000 . The weekly Saturday and Sunday editions are known as 'The Saturday Times' and 'The Sunday Times'.

The Straits Times was established on 15 July 1845, in the early days of British colonial rule, and may be considered the successor to various other newspapers during the time such as the Singapore Chronicle. It was founded by an Armenian, Catchick Moses. After Singapore became independent from Malaysia on 9 August 1965, the paper became more focused on the island leading to the creation of the New Straits Times for Malaysian readers.

Currently, the paper is Singapore's primary print news source. Singapore Press Holdings also publishes two other English-language dailies; the broadsheet The Business Times and The New Paper tabloid. The Straits Times is a member of the Asia News Network.

I'm talking about the real Spiderman, Alain Robert, who got himself arrested in many countries but this time, my country is kind enough, allowing him to have a permit to climb a 45 storey office building legally. Suntec City Tower One. He is just three stories short to reach the top floor and he did it. www.sunteccity.com.sg Sorry guys, I know the quality is quite bad but I only have a cheap handphone to take this video.
