Edward Chew



Edward Chew was Singapore's first gay entrepreneur.

Realising the unmet international need for a high quality gay Asian publication, he produced the world's first glossy Asian soft porn periodical, OG (Oriental Guys) in Singapore. Owing to the republic's strict Undesirable Publications Act, the magazine was printed in Hong Kong and widely distributed around the world through the 1980s and 1990s. Many Singaporean gay photographers and graphic artists worked underground to produce OG biannually over two decades.

Chew passed away in May 2017.
