About Singapore

Background

Welcome to Singapore

Singapore is a sunny, tropical island in Southeast Asia, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The city-state is 710 square kilometres and inhabited by five million people from four major communities; Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian.

Ideally positioned in South-east Asia, where the rest of the region is just a hop, skip and jump away, 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 the four major communities in Singapore with each offering different perspectives of life in Singapore in terms of culture, religion, food, language and history.

Enjoy the best of both worlds in Singapore: nature and urban living. Also known as the garden city, these green wonders are never more than a few steps away, from sustainable buildings intertwined with nature to bridges that soar over the tree line.
