Editorial policy

This policy explains how eGuide Singapore researches and maintains its pages. It applies to every neighbourhood guide, article and index on the site.

Official sources first

Neighbourhood facts come from official sources: government agencies and statutory boards such as URA, LTA, MOE, NEA, NParks, HDB, SLA, the Department of Statistics, ECDA, MOH, People's Association, NLB, SportSG and the Sentosa Development Corporation, and the datasets they publish on data.gov.sg and OneMap. Where an agency has published a plan with a date, we report it with the agency's name. We do not report rumours, unconfirmed plans or figures we cannot trace.

Each card in our new launches index draws on what the project itself has published, and says so. We do not publish project prices or price forecasts.

If a fact cannot be verified from an official source, we leave it out rather than guess. Each guide lists its sources at the end.

Planning-area boundaries

We use URA's Master Plan planning-area boundaries throughout. Facilities are placed inside a planning area by their location on the official map. This sometimes puts a well-known place in a different guide from the one people expect, and we say so where it matters.

Dates and reviews

Each page shows the date it was last updated. Figures carry the period they describe, such as the 2020 Census or a quarter of HDB data. We review neighbourhood guides when a relevant official source is updated, such as a new station opening or a new quarter of statistics, and periodically even when nothing has changed.

AI-assisted drafting with human review

We use AI writing tools to help draft pages from our research notes. Every page is reviewed by a person before publication: facts are checked against the sources, unsupported statements are removed, and wording is edited for clarity. AI tools do not decide what we publish.

Links to project websites

Neighbourhood guides include a "New launches nearby" section, and some articles link to residential project websites where a project is directly relevant. These links use the project's name or web address. Some of the project websites we link to are operated by parties connected with eGuide's publisher. Those links never change the facts in our neighbourhood pages, which come from official sources, and we do not accept payment to change what a guide says about an area.

We also link to calculators and buying guides on other websites where a reader needs one, rather than duplicating them.

Corrections

If you spot an error, please tell us through our contact page and choose "Correction or suggestion", or email info@eguide.com.sg. Please include the page address and, if you can, the official source. We check every report against the source, correct confirmed errors promptly and update the page date.

Fairness

We aim to describe neighbourhoods fairly. We do not rank areas on a single score, and where the data shows a trade-off, such as fewer schools or no polyclinic in an area, we say so plainly.
