Bio

Laura Chia is a journalist at The Straits Times in Singapore, where her byline spans local news, lifestyle, entertainment, and the regional features that Singapore's flagship daily syndicates across Southeast Asia. Her reporting ranges from breaking-news incidents and trending social moments to wider Asia coverage and lifestyle pieces, with stories that have been picked up by MSN Singapore, Yahoo News Malaysia, Yahoo Singapore, The Star, AsiaOne, The New Paper, and Her World. Laura contributes to ST's general assignment desk, the multi-purpose engine of the newsroom that handles everything from morning rewrites to weekend reads, and her work also appears in Asia News Network, the regional cooperative that distributes Straits Times reporting to partner publications across the continent. She brings a generalist's range and a deadline reporter's instincts to a byline list that captures how a national newspaper covers the rhythm of life in modern Singapore.
