I am a fan of The Economist. Every article is well researched, analysed, substantiated and argued. It never fail to provoke my thoughts in every issue. It is also a very highly priced magazine – over S$500 a year. To compound the problem, I may not have the time to read it every week and not being able to fully utilise its worth just make the subscription less attractive for me. But last year I found another perk of being a Singaporean – I can read The Economist for free!

Yes, our libraries carry the physical copies but it isn’t always convenient to visit and read within the opening hours. Moreover, it is Covid period and we should minimise visiting public areas.

The good news is that there’s an e-magazine version for The Economist and I have grown to love to read stuff on my gorgeous iPad Pro because I get to highlight and save notes
