As we welcome the month of May and progress into the year, I would like to take this chance to thank all our Members for their support thus far. Observing May Day on 1 May 2026, I would like to wish you a restful day as we honour and celebrate the dedication, commitment, and efforts, of every worker.
I am pleased to announce that our Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday, 21 May 2026, at the Fort Canning Lodge (YWCA). I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you in person at this important event. I warmly invite all AA Members to join us as we reflect on the progress and growth of our Association. Additional details have been shared on our communication channels such as AA website, AA Highway and email. We look forward to seeing you at the AGM this year.
We are focused on curating content that adds value to our Members’ experiences, interests, and everyday needs. You can look forward to a series of insightful articles on Highway, such as features for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, as well as the upcoming June school holidays.
To better serve our long-standing Members and for their benefits, we are pleased to introduce a new exclusive promotion, arriving just in time to celebrate Mother’s Day. Specially for these two months, all 3-year Ordinary Membership renewal will receive exclusive renewal gifts such as OTO Anyway Back Massage Seat and STANLEY 2-in-1 Foldable Hand Trolley. For new Members joining our community, we warmly welcome you with sign-up gifts such as Xiaomi Standing Garment Steamer and BLACK+DECKER Collapsible Wagon.
With the unpredictability of Singapore’s weather, sporadic rain might be dangerous when you are driving, especially if you’re unprepared. We are running a special promotion for Si-Plus Silicone Wiper Blade with water-repellent formula, designed to maintain clear visibility and promote safer driving during rainy conditions with its hydrophobic properties. For a limited time, Members can purchase it for $39 (usual price $59). For more information, you may contact our hotline at 6333 8811.
As interest in travels to China continues to increase, we are pleased to present two upcoming trips for our Members to explore. From 31 August to 13 September 2026, embark on a 14D13N AA Fly-Drive Northen Xinjiang (Kanas Lake & Silk Road Highlights) with us, where you will get to visit Black Oil Mountain in Karamay, Xinjiang, and explore Tuyugou Village in Turpan, the oldest existing Uyghur village in Xinjiang.
For our Members seeking a longer getaway, you can also be a part of our 24D23N AA Fly-Drive Expedition: Journey from Kunming to Tibet and Mysterious Ali Plateau, happening from 1 to 24 September 2026. From Songzanlin Monastery, one of the earliest and largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan province, to Zanda Earth Forest, where towering earth formations were carved by river erosion and tectonic movements.

At $259 for Members (usual price $299), you will get a 4-in-1 device that combines a jump starter, tyre inflator, fast-charging power bank, and LED flashlight, keeping you prepared for every journey.
With the growing popularity of flexible, self-drive vacations, it is always important to remain safe on the road. Especially for pet owners, in one of our latest Highway article, How to Keep Your Pet Secure and Comfortable in the Car, we provide you with tips on how to you can drive safely with your pet in the car.
Lastly, I wish everyone a peaceful and meaningful Vesak Day, and a warm Selamat Hari Raya Haji celebrated with loved ones.
Best wishes
