Singapore is a sunny, tropical island in South-east Asia, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The city-state of five million people in four major communities; Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian. Since its independence in 9 August 1965, the country has adopted a parliamentary democracy system. A pint-sized Singapore is a mosaic of contrasting cultures. While it's easy to be dazzled by Orchard Road's wall-to-wall malls, Chinatown's immense Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Hindu shrines draped with marigold garlands are altogether different worlds. The city's mix of traditional, colonial and futuristic is best represented at the mouth of the Singapore River, where the spiky domed Esplanade theatre is next to the neo-Palladian Asian Civilizations Museum, home to Islamic calligraphy and Vietnamese sculptures.

Ideally positioned in south-east Asia, Singapore is a thriving metropolis offering a world-class infrastructure, a fully integrated island-wide transport network, dynamic business environment, vibrant living spaces and a rich culture largely influenced by its four major communities, each offering different perspective of life in Singapore in terms of culture, religion, food, language and history.
