For half a century, the Living in Singapore Reference Guide has been a go-to resource for newcomers and long-time residents of the island alike. In celebration of its 50th anniversary in print, this special edition brings the past, present, and future of learning about Singapore to life in an entirely new way.
Through the magic of augmented reality (AR), the guide redefines the reading experience.
