About Us

STOMP (Straits Times Online Mobile Print) integrates content and activities in the three platforms of print, online and mobile . These three platforms will enable STOMP to interact and engage with Singaporeans in exciting new ways.

STOMP will deliver content which is interactive and which will help develop new communities of Singaporeans bonded together by shared interests. Access to the website is completely free and as for SMS and MMS, only normal telco charges apply to users.

The Straits Times Editor Han Fook Kwang explained, "In the new media environment, newspapers have to be more than just passive providers of news. They have to engage their readers in areas which appeal to them. We have to provide readers with new avenues to express themselves, to enable them to interact with us, and among themselves."

"STOMP will enable us to do this. We want STOMP to become a forum of lively discussions - whether the topics are weighty national issues or where to get the best bak chor mee."

Through this interaction, The Straits Times aims to strengthen its relationship with readers and reach out to non-readers.

Another first for The Straits Times will be the introduction of a new STOMP special number "75557". With this one number, Singaporeans will be able to talk to the newspaper on any topic, or send their thoughts, pictures, news tips and even news clips through SMS and MMS.
