My Paper


My Paper was a free, bilingual newspaper in Singapore published by the Singapore Press Holdings.
It was published from Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays; and an electronic copy of the print edition is published on the paper's website. The newspaper has a daily circulation of 300,000 copies, and is distributed in the morning at MRT stations, bus interchanges, office buildings and selected residential areas in Singapore.
My Paper was a compact-sized, full-colour newspaper, that featured two "front" pages. It was divided equally into both English-language and Chinese-language sections with the pages of the English-language side of the paper reading from left to right ; while the pages of the Chinese-language on the opposite side of the paper reads from right to left. Instead of a mirror translation of articles, each piece of news or commentary in My Paper was presented in one language only.
