About askwho.sg
A free community project by retroXpect, so you reach the right people the first time you call.
Singapore has good official helplines, but there are many of them: town councils, government agencies, utility companies and more. Knowing who fixes a broken corridor light, a leak from the flat above or a fallen tree isn't easy. askwho.sg shows the answer for your address on one page, says why, and links to the official website it came from.
Not a government website
askwho.sg is run independently. No government agency or town council runs or endorses it. We can't take reports, look up your account or act for you. If an official website says something different from us, follow the official website, and please tell us.
How it's different from OneService
OneService is the official way to report many problems around your estate, and we send you there whenever it's the best way. Other websites tell you which town council looks after a block. We put everything for your address on one page: your town council's daytime and 24-hour numbers, the government agencies, the offices near you, and a simple explanation of who fixes what, including problems inside your home.
Free, and no sign-up
There are no accounts, fees or adverts. Nothing anyone sends us goes on the site until we've checked it. Saved addresses stay on your own phone or computer. See privacy.
Who made askwho.sg
askwho.sg was designed and built by retroXpect, a web development studio in Singapore. We made it as a free community project, because finding the right number shouldn't take a dozen searches.
Under the hood it is a custom web application: it reads the government's open data on HDB blocks, constituency boundaries and public services, works out who is in charge of your address with rules we wrote by hand, and checks every phone number against the organisation's own website. It is built to be fast on any phone, easy to read at large text sizes, and usable by everyone, from students to seniors.
If your organisation needs a website or web app built in Singapore, you can talk to retroXpect.
Languages
The site is in English for now. It's ready for Chinese, Malay and Tamil, but we'll only switch a language on after a fluent speaker has checked it, especially the emergency advice.
