Streats was an English-language broadsheet daily newspaper in Singapore. It launched in 2000, and officially ceased publishing in 2004 after being merged into Today.
History[edit]
Streats was launched on 4 September 2000 by Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).[1] On 8 March 2004, Streats launched an afternoon edition. It provided financial and sports news, and was given out in selected locations of the business district.[2]
On 31 December 2004, Streats was merged into the daily news as a result of SPH and Mediacorp merging free-to-air terrestrial television and newspaper operations. It ceased publishing at the same time and was officially renamed to become Today, a subsidiary of MediaCorp Press and member of MediaCorp print media arm.[citation needed]
