The Straits Times is an English-language daily broadsheet newspaper published in Sinagpaore since 1845 and originally titled The Straits times and Singapore Journal of Commerce. In 1942, five days after the British surrendered to the Japanese, The Straits Times became known as The Shonan Times and The Syonan Shimbun. This name change lasted until 5 September 1945, when Singapore returned to British rule.
