About Singapore
A small island state at the southern tip of the Malayan Peninsula, the Republic of Singapore is a fascinating holiday destination that never fails to spring a few delightful surprises on its visitors.
Ever since Sir Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore in 1819 to establish a trading post for the British East India Company, Singapore has been a major centre for finance, trade and commerce.
The Singapore you see today is the result of rapid economic development a phenomenon that started soon after the country gained independence in 1965. As a result of this boom, much of the old has had to make way for the new. However, pockets of rich unadulterated history still remain for all to appreciate and enjoy.
Some 4.2 million people live in Singapore a melting pot of diverse cultures and religions. Chinese, Malays, Indians, Caucasians and Arabs all live remarkably peacefully on an island no larger than 700 square kilometres.
Charming and friendly - yet energetic - Singapore is a fabulous place to check out. So buckle up and enjoy your visit!
