About

New Asia Republic is a commentary website that covers Singapore’s current affairs from a cosmopolitan angle, encompassing the liberalist-libertarian spectrum. It is also a non-commercial entity driven by ad-hoc voluntary contributions. It is also an online community of liberals and libertarians.

Since the 14th century, Singapore has established itself as a vibrant sea port and a cosmopolitan hub at the heart of international and regional trade in Southeast Asia. Our international coverage focuses primarily on ASEAN affairs.

The views expressed in each article are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of New Asia Republic and its editor(s), unless the article in question is explicitly designated as editorial. The title of editorial articles would be prefixed with “Editorial:”.

Our Mission

  • To provide liberal and libertarian worldviews.
  • To provide liberal and libertarian perspectives on Singapore.
  • To provide liberal and libertarian perspectives on ASEAN.
  • To act as an online platform for liberals and libertarians in Singapore to self-organise offline.
