From The Straits Times    |

If you’re looking for something a little different to read, head to poskod.sg, a new online magazine that gives a different take on the best of Singapore’s “people, places and phenomena”.

Three times a week the website updates with new articles on a variety of different cultural concepts and Singapore society, and it also wants you to contribute as well.

The People section covers famous names and ordinary people, Places looks at everything from new cafés and buildings to larger areas like neighbourhoods. Moving from the physical to the immaterial, the Phenomena section covers “trends, musings, and events with significant cultural impact” say the publishers.

Periodically the site will also post stuff on “special” topics in the Letter from SG, Poskad and Soundscaping sections.

Poskod.sg is published by Studio Wong Huzir, a Singapore communications agency that’s also passionate about a wide, and widely varried, range of socio-cultural topics like commerce, public policy, design, urban planning, the visual and performing arts, social anthropology, architecture, fashion, gastronomy, literature, technology, and military history.

Articles on the site so far include an interview with Philip Jeyaretnam, a Letter from SG where Indian Malaysian Kubhaer T. Jethwani tries to find a place to rent in Singapore, A Walk on the Rail Side of Life about trains that run through Singapore and Soundscaping: Raffles Place.

And the name? Well, obviously it’s based on the Bahasa Melayu word for postcode. Says poskod.sg editor Dah Koh: “We’re all given six numbers in a box, and then we make it our own!”
