ICYMI: From March 2026, you can use your SG Culture Pass to buy SingLit books. This includes novels, non-fiction essays, poetry, and plays in English, Chinese, Malay, or Tamil. While details on how to purchase aren’t confirmed yet, here’s a SingLit book quiz to help you choose your first title.
Singapore literature, or more commonly known as SingLit, is literary work created by Singaporeans or permanent residents. Most SingLit books explore culture, history, and daily life, showcasing different sides of Singaporeans’ past and present. Some popular SingLit authors you may recognise include Russell Lee, Sonny Liew, and Amanda Lee Koe.
SingLit books aren’t boring or cringy; sometimes, we just need to give them a try. Hopefully, this quiz nudges you to pick up your first of many SingLit titles.
