Singapore 101

A little red dot on the world map that packs a punch globally – Singapore – is a sovereign city-state located in Southeast Asia. Lying just one degree north of the equator, this metropolitan city enjoys a tropical rainforest climate all year round. Despite its tiny land area compared to its neighbours, since its independence in 1965, not only has Singapore developed rapidly to gain its world-class reputation as a commercial, financial and transportation hub, but most importantly, Singapore is the most diverse country in the world.
