Here's a link to the Marshall Cavendish brochure on science textbooks. I'm posting it here because MC Education is the only official provider of MOE chemistry textbooks for 2023-2027. If anyone has questions about that series of textbooks (in terms of content and philosophy), I may be able to help. Have a good year ahead.

That looks like a very wide range of books. For O lvl students who already have the Science textbooks and TYS, which books would you recommend to get? And what is the Teacher’s Guide for? Thanks.

For those in Sec4 already, no need. This would be for those who are entering S3 in 2023. The Teacher's Guides on the right hand side are all for teachers teaching the course.

Thanks..to clarify, no need is more to mean this group of students (O next year) would already have their text & revision books and not that there is change in syllabus, am I correct?

Depends. MOE is changing the syllabus a bit, so new textbook out end of this year. If the student concerned is doing O-levels next year, might be worth waiting. If the student is doing it this year, Marshall Cavendish produces most of the good ones—the student should have a look to see if they understand it when casually reading. If they don't, it might be a red flag: either the student is in bad shape or the book is not appropriate.

I just read this.. for students doing O next year, will the MC new books help?

Okay, I have to confess that I may have conflict of interest here, being a co-author for Chemistry. But one data point that may help is that MC appears to have obtained the only successful tender for Chemistry this year (for 2023), judging from school booklists and MOE's own list (if you click https://www.moe.gov.sg/-/media/files/approved-textbook-list/current-titles-sec.ashx?la=en&hash=F9973C6D6FDE967132F2D32000D63274160D6D72 you will immediately download their public Excel file for approved titles). This may also be true for Bio and Physics, but those aren't my subject areas.

I think the new books do have a substantially different approach. There is of course some overlap (the syllabus hasn't drastically changed), but a fair bit of tweaking has occurred—and my personal opinion is that it's for the better.
