As we welcome the month of September, we also look forward to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with our loved ones. I hope this season brings our Members and their loved ones moments of warmth, togetherness and reflection. We would like to wish all our Members a meaningful and joyous Mid-Autumn Festival, and thank you for your continued support and trust.
As we continue to provide greater value to our Members, we are taking you on a journey beyond the road and into the world of coffee. On 12 September 2026, the AA x Black Kettle Coffee Cupping Workshop offers Members the opportunity to discover the art of coffee tasting, learn more about different coffee profiles, and explore what makes each cup unique. For more exciting workshops and exclusive Member experiences, visit our website at https://aas.com.sg/aa-events-activities/events-activities-list/ for more upcoming workshops and exclusive experiences specially curated for our Members.
For those interested in beginning your journey with us, or simply extending your existing Membership, you can look forward to premium renewal gifts from brands such as OTO, STANLEY, La Gourmet, and BLACK+DECKER. You may view the latest promotional terms and prices at https://aas.com.sg/all-membership-benefits/.
Additionally, Members can also purchase our latest bestselling product, the Si-Plus Silicone Wiper Blade at a discounted rate of $39 (usual price $59). With Singapore’s unpredictable thundery showers, reduced visibility and increased slipperiness will make driving in wet weather even more challenging. Designed with hydrophobic properties, these wipers help repel water and maintain clear visibility, supporting safer driving when the rain comes. For more information, you may contact us via WhatsApp at 8057 8699.
Following the encouraging interests from Members in our Japan driving holidays, I am pleased to share the upcoming 11D9N AA Fly-Drive Autumn in Shikoku, taking place from 9 to 19 November 2026. Members can explore Kankakei, a beautiful ravine at the centre of Shodoshima Island, or relish in the drive along the scenic Ishizuchi Sky Line. For those who are considering a destination closer to home, our 18D17N AA Fly-Drive from Guangzhou-Shanghai (Ancestor Home Scenic Drive) from 26 November to 13 December 2026, will include a visit to Lee Kuan Yew’s Ancestral Home, a house constructed in 1884 by his great-grandfather, Li Muwen.
If you are looking to rent a car to go on a unique driving expedition, please consider Europcar, our go-to car-rental available worldwide. Visit our website or give us a call at 6389 4222 to find out more.
With road safety for all road users continuing to be a key priority for the Association, we are pleased to announce that we are running a new product promotion for all AA Members. The BlackVue DR970X BOX-2CH PLUS Dashcam (64GB) offers 4K front and Full HD rear recording, giving you clear footage to protect yourself with reliable evidence in the event of an accident or road incident. Its discreet BOX design and parking mode also provide added security for your vehicle, even when you’re not behind the wheel. AA Members will receive a free Fire Terminator FT JN1010 Hydrodynamic Spray, a compact fire-suppression spray, worth $39 with every purchase of the BlackVue DR970X BOX-2CH PLUS (64GB).
Lastly, I would like to remind everyone about the importance of a good rest. Poor sleep directly impairs the skills needed to drive safely: attention, reaction time, and the ability to make quick decisions. To find out more on why getting a good sleep the night before is crucial is staying safe behind the wheel, check out our article, The Health Habit We Often Neglect: Sleep, to understand why a sleep-deprived driver is a dangerous driver.
I would also like to wish our Members and their families a safe and enjoyable break during the upcoming September school holidays. As you enjoy family outings and getaways, remember to stay vigilant and practise safe driving habits.
Best wishes
Bernard Tay
President, AA Singapore
