Usage

This template is used to cite a piece of Singapore legislation. Where a new statute or a statute that is part of the Revised Edition of the Statutes of the Republic of Singapore is concerned, the template inserts a link to the on-line version of the statute on Singapore Statutes Online, a service of the Attorney-General's Chambers of Singapore. For other statutes and subsidiary legislation, a link can be manually added.

Syntax and examples

Revised editions of statutes

Statutes that have been assigned a chapter number.

Not all revised editions of statutes available on Singapore Statutes Online have been linked to the template. Please add additional statutes to {{Singapore legislation/index}} (see that page for instructions).

Revised editions of subsidiary legislation
