Everything from Singapore
Singapore is a city-state and island country at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It is a global financial hub with a highly urbanised landscape. The population is about 5.6 million. As a city-state, the capital is Singapore itself. Founded as a British trading post in 1819, it became an independent nation in 1965 after a brief union with Malaysia.
Under its founding leader Lee Kuan Yew, it transformed from a developing country into one of the world’s most prosperous nations. It is a multi-ethnic society with four official languages. Singapore is renowned for its strict laws, efficiency, world-class airport, and as a gateway to Asia. Its economy is a powerhouse of finance, trade, and technology.
Singapore is a country in the region Sandalsand has defined as South and Southeast Asia. There are introductions to this region and other regions in the Destinations menu.
