Lianhe Wanbao (Chinese: 联合晚报; pinyin: Liánhé Wǎnbào; literally Joint Evening News) was a Singapore Chinese-language afternoon newspaper published daily by SPH Media from 16 March 1983 after the merger between the Singaporean editions of Nanyang Siang Pau and Sin Chew Jit Poh.
Lianhe Wanbao focused mainly on local and entertainment news with minimal international coverage. As such it was in competition with another SPH paper Shin Min Daily News. Amongst Singapore readers Lianhe Wanbao was often regarded more of a tabloid published in broadsheet form, and the veracity of some reports (mostly reproduced from tabloids or gossip magazines from Hong Kong or Taiwan) was sometimes questioned.[citation needed]
In 2021, Lianhe Wanbao merged into Shin Min Daily News, and published its last edition on 24 December.[2][3]
