Episode Synopsis

During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down conversation… host Glenn van Zutphen talks with Melinda Murphy, General Manager of the American Association of Singapore and Supervising Editor of the iconic "Living in Singapore Reference Guide" (LIS) and its new 50th Anniversary edition. LIS @50 goes high-tech in showing some surprises that make thriving in Singapore - for locals and expats - as easy as saying “lah!” Fifty years, 17 editions, and still the go-to survival guide for life in the Little Red Dot. Whether you're fresh off the plane or a seasoned Singapore veteran, this new edition gives everything from cultural tips to navigating kopi orders, local festivals, government procedures, and now with a slick new app featuring videos, interactive 3D experiences, and fun quizzes—it's a one-stop guide to understanding the city’s past, present, and future. Melinda also discusses the 108-year legacy of AAS, Singapore’s oldest, non-governmental American organization, and how it helped spark community pillars like the American Chamber of Commerce, The American Club, the American Women’s Association, the Singapore American School, and more!
