Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

SINGAPORE (AFP) - A large majority of Singaporeans are conservative, worry about liberal values creeping into society and reject sexual permissiveness, a government-commissioned study indicated.

The study, which polled 1,102 people above the age of 17, showed that 90 per cent disapproved of extra-marital sex, mainly for religious reasons, while around 67 per cent thought it was wrong for a couple to live together and have sex before marriage.
