Vegetarian Society (Singapore) or VSS is a non-profit,non-denominational organisation. The Singapore-registered charity was established in 1999 to "Promote vegetarianism among the public and support and link individuals and organizations that practise, promote or endorse vegetarianism". VSS is the largest community for vegetarianism,veganism or any form ofsemi-vegetarianism in Singapore.[1][2] Promoting aplant-based diet is one of the main goals.
