The Singapore Standard, more commonly known as Singapore Tiger Standard or Tiger Standard, was a Singaporean newspaper published in English. The newspaper was founded by millionaire Aw Boon Haw, famous for his Tiger Balm and Star Newspapers. Singapore Standard was the sister newspaper of the English-language Hongkong Tiger Standard, as well as Sin Chew Jit Po of Singapore and Malaysia, published in Chinese. In 1959, shortly after the Colony of Singapore gained self-governance, publisher Sin Poh Amalgamated ended publication of Singapore Standard.[2] It was reported that Aw Cheng Taik, a relative of Aw Boon Haw (who had died in 1954) and former managing director of Singapore Standard, founded another "Tiger Newspaper" (Chinese: 中文虎報; lit. 'Chinese Tiger Newspaper', also known as Chinese: 吉隆坡虎報; lit. 'Kuala Lumpur Tiger Newspaper') in August 1959 in Kuala Lumpur in the Federation of Malaya, which published in Chinese language.[3][4][5] "Kuala Lumpur Tiger" ceased publication in 1961 due to financial difficulties.[6] Singapore Standard, the Federation of Malaya edition was also published by the same press for nearby Federation of Malaya.
