Singapore Travel Guide

Singapore: Cosmopolitan Defined

Singapore is Asia’s hub of international sophistication. Located in the southern tip of the Malay peninsula, this city-state was a former British colony. Its name is derived from the Sanskrit of “lion city” (Singa Pura). In the early 19th century, Sir Stamford Raffles established it as a thriving British trading settlement. After a change of hands between the World War II Japanese, back to the British, and then to the Federation of Malaysia, Singapore became an independent nation on August 9, 1965. This culturally diverse country has one of the most stable economies in the world, rivaling even Europe’s best.
