15 Singapore Pages On Threads You Should Follow To Stay Ahead Of Everyone Else
Despite being just a day old, Meta’s Threads has attracted over 30 million users, quickly emerging as a force to be reckoned with.
But with so many users quickly joining the platform, it might be hard to identify which pages are worth a follow, especially if you want to see quality content on your feed.
No need to look around further as we’ve curated some of the accounts you should follow to stay in the know on the latest news and lifestyle updates.
1. MustShareNews
It’s shameless, we know, but we can’t help but give ourselves a shoutout.
We cover news that are relatable to most Singaporeans while keeping them easy to read and understand.
Articles aside, we also share hilarious memes and engaging videos.

We hear the admins are pretty quirky too, so don’t be shy to engage in some banter with them.

2. CNA
Of course, we have to give a shoutout to one of the OGs on the news scene — Channel NewsAsia (CNA).
As timely as they report news, they were quick to join Threads too when it went ‘live’ on 6 July.

Expect to find the juiciest highlights from Parliament posted in digestible and relatively easy reads so you don’t have to sit through the entire hours-long session.

3. Lee Hsien Loong
You’d think that the Gen Zs would be running to join the newest platform, but our very own Prime Minister (PM) Lee Hsien Loong is actually ahead of some of us already.
Yes, he’s on Threads too and has amassed a rather impressive 13,000 followers at the time of writing.
PM Lee hasn’t posted much but we can probably look forward to interesting insights into his life as the Head of Government, as well as his rather professional photos from his “jalan-jalan” adventures.

4. TheSmartLocal
If you’ve been inspired by PM Lee’s “jalan-jalan” posts whenever he’s out and about in Singapore, you’d probably want to start exploring our Little Red Dot too. But where do you start?
Thankfully, you can turn to TheSmartLocal (TSL), which keeps followers up to date about the latest attractions in town.
The youthful faces behind the page also occasionally make an appearance with a glimpse of what it’s like working in their exciting office space.

Look out for the occasional memes and jokes too, because that’s what #LifeAtTSL is like.

5. TheSmartLocal TV
Behind all the entertaining videos you’ve seen on TSL are producers who work tirelessly to churn out original content. Little is known about what they do but that can change if you follow TheSmartLocal TV on Threads.

There, you can gain access to behind-the-scenes footage of upcoming videos, as well as take a sneak peek into the producers’ personal lives.

6. JJ Lin
TSL TV may have their own pop queen but Singapore has its international star and pop king in JJ Lin, who’s on Threads too.

With his JJ20 World Tour ongoing and expected to reach China in August, the singer will likely be posting quite a lot of updates.
Not to mention his F&B business here in Singapore — so who knows, he might share news about that as well.

7. Off Day Plans
Keeping up with your favourite celebrities on social media can be a full-time job, so you’d need to take a break and unwind sometimes.
Off Day Plans offers a glimpse into how everyday people spend their off days in Singapore, doing everything from the mundane to more exhilarating activities around the country.

Many of the videos are also edited in a way to show off Singapore through a unique, often artistic lens.

8. Eatbook
For many of us, getting the day off means trying new food and eating to our heart’s content — but only if you know the right places to go for the best meals.
Follow Eatbook on Threads and you’ll not only be among the first to find out about the hottest new eatery, but you might also be lucky enough to snag exclusive food and drink promos.
Eatbook also occasionally shares useful recipes and hacks, so keep a lookout if you’re feeling a little experimental.

9. Zula
Zula is like that woke friend we all have who’s well-versed in all things related to fashion, beauty, and relationships.

10. Singapore Sports Hub
Read all the guides you want to secure concert tickets, but you’d need to know who’s coming to perform in Singapore way in advance first.
And the biggest concerts are usually held at the National Stadium or Singapore Sports Hub, so what better way to get first dibs on concert deets than by following them on Threads?

Even if you can’t get tickets, we’re sure they’ll post snippets from the events, so you might just get to see some HD photos you wouldn’t be able to capture from a seat way up in the stands.
Follow here: https://www.threads.net/@sgsportshub
11. Changi Airport
You’ve seen everything you need to know about local places, food and people, so you might want to look a little further instead — or as far as you can go.
For some of us, visiting Changi Airport is the closest we can get to being on the verge of travelling, at least until we find the time and money to do so. But there’s still plenty to do there, as you’ll find out when you follow Changi Airport on Threads.

Whether it’s freebies or pop-up events, you can be there for them early before the crowds descend.

12. LTA
While some of us may not be able to afford plane tickets, travelling around Singapore on trains and buses can be just as fun, especially with new MRT stations opening and new trains being rolled out.
Get early peeks of these new amenities by following the Land Transport Authority (LTA), who’s always generous with their behind-the-scenes photos.

The opening of new stations also tend to come with free rides, so keep a lookout for such news.

13. Uchify.sg
All that adventuring around Singapore can be tiring, so you might want to unwind at home after a long day.
In Singapore, having your own place to call home is a major step of adulting that you’d need plenty of advice and tips for. Thankfully, there’s Uchify to help you with all that.

The page posts articles that not only serve as handy guides for aspiring and new homeowners but also informative insights on the real estate landscape in Singapore.

Well, you can find all that on the Telegram Collective, which updates followers on all the latest deals and happenings in Singapore.
