The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Singapore

In 1960, four members of the LDS Church were found to be living in Singapore. Latter-day Saints from the British military and from Hong Kong began holding church meetings in Singapore in 1963. The first missionaries arrived in the city from the church's Southern Far East Mission in March 1968. That same year, the church established its first congregation in Singapore. The Southeast Asia Mission, which included Singapore, was created in November 1969.

In 1970, when approximately 100 Latter-day Saints lived in Singapore, government officials restricted preaching and visas for missionaries. Progress continued through the efforts of local members and the Singapore Mission was created in 1974, with G. Carlos Smith as the mission president. By 1976, church membership in Singapore totaled 309. Singapore was re-opened to full-time missionaries in January 1980. Five years later, church membership in Singapore was 960. By 1990, the church had constructed three meetinghouses, which served approximately 1,300 members.

In August 1992, Jon Huntsman, Jr., a Latter-day Saint who had preached as a missionary in Taiwan, was sworn into office as the United States Ambassador to Singapore. By mid-1993, church membership in Singapore totaled 1,750 in seven congregations.

In 2020, the LDS Church canceled services and other public gatherings indefinitely worldwide in response to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.[2]
