About Us

The Postmen are a group of journalists from The New Paper’s sports desk.
ERNEST LUIS became the first sports journalist in Singapore to have a dedicated blog linked to a newspaper during the 2006 World Cup, which he covered in Germany. He returned to start the Postman blog after that, giving a regular voice to passionate sports readers of The New Paper on a weekly basis. He once actually worked in Singapore Post and threw around postal packages marked “fragile” whenever Tottenham Hotspur lost. With this Euro-inspired blog, the aim’s to combine print (word), radio (podcast) and TV (vodcast) elements for the first time in this blog’s history.

When Ernest is away, his colleagues and disgruntled Liverpool fans – LIM HAN MING and GARY LIM – will cover as the Postman. Han Ming was a former ballroom dancer but doesn’t even offer free lessons these days to his colleagues.

IAIN MACINTOSH – Your English Kaki based in London – covers the English Premier League for The New Paper. He loves to pop up now and then and banter with Postman readers here, some of whom may actually have dreams of taking him on in a wrestling match.

JONATHAN ROBERTS is our Postman artist who designs the logos you see here and organises the sometimes cheesy photo shoots. He is also the Postman Podcast host, where he tries to keep Ernest from impersonating everyone with a universal Eastern European accent, and goads Gary in singing out loud, pearls of wisdom, or spouting wise Chinese sayings.

JOYCE LIM is our newest member, a sporty Postwoman herself who loves having pictures of herself taken on board her trusty bicycle as she explores the growing sporting and sports leisure options sprouting all over Surprising Singapore.

And last but not least, ARUN RAJ is the Postman’s “Blog Doc”, who takes care of the administration of this blog, and really is the most tech-savvy of this lot of poseurs you see above. He’s based Down Under for now, showing that it’s possible to upkeep the technological marvel that is the Postman’s blog – from somewhere in the Great Outback.
