The Saturday Review was a comprehensive weekly magazine covering content relating to the region’s humanities, politics, and socio-cultural issues, with a focus on Singapore. The Saturday Review had a total of 589 issues and was published by Nanyang Siang Pau Press every Saturday. It was a literary supplement to the newspaper, Nanyang Siang Pau. Between the 1940s and 1950s, Nanyang Siang Pau Press published various magazines, and Saturday Review was one of the five magazines it produced. During the inauguration of Saturday Review, it was announced that the magazine had no political purpose and was published to entertain its readers weekly. However, the magazine’s content was transformed and shifted towards literary content in the post-independence period of Malaya. Saturday Review was widely read by the Chinese community in Malaya until it was discontinued in 1960.
