The room above the five-foot way

Signed note from the editor: We opened on Tyrwhitt Road because Jalan Besar still reads like a city that files early. The upstairs room fits a long table, a pinboard, and enough quiet for subbing after the shutters rise.

Jalan Besar connects readers across the north-east and central corridors. Tyrwhitt Road sits close enough to the MRT for early filings yet quiet enough for proof reading after dark. A full day runs from 06:30 handover to the night file close.
