Discover Singapore

It is often said that Singapore has its head in the future but its heart in the past.  An island state, Singapore is clean, organized and compact and in a few days visitors can explore the entire island from city to beach.  First impressions of Singapore are the dramatic contrast of historical buildings standing majestically beside towering modern skyscrapers, along the Singapore River.  Further exploration reveals Singapore’s melting pot of enthralling Asian cultures, influences, lifestyles and cuisine.

Originally founded as a small British trading post in the early 1800s, Singapore has morphed into one of the world’s most prosperous nations, a tiny powerhouse hurtling toward the future.  What was, and is, behind Singapore’s growth is the island’s location, which made its sea port the busiest in the world. Offering a mesmerizing blend of Asia and Europe with Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western influences, visitors will discover a unique destination that is deeper and richer than they anticipate.

In 2015, Lonely Planet listed Singapore as their top world destination to visit. Due to its compact size and proximity to Malaysia, Indonesia and China, Singapore makes an excellent add-on destination.

People

The population of Singapore is 5.5 million. About 74% of residents are of Chinese descent, 13% of Malay descent, 9% of Indian descent and the rest, of various other origins, including European.

Language

Official languages are English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. English is the common language.

History

There is a nice - but likely untrue - legend that says Singapore was founded when a 14th century Sumatran price landed on a small island and saw a lion. He named the island Singapura, which means Lion City. It is possible that the price saw a Malayan tiger upon his arrival in the island which was no more than a simple fishing village.

Singapore’s modern history starts in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles was sent by the British East India Company to establish a trading station.  The island was swampy and mostly jungle, but the location was fortuitous.  Raffles did a deal with the Sultan of Johor and agreed to make an annual payment, which was later renegotiated to a lump sum for ownership of the island.

The new trading post grew rapidly, and people from all over the world flocked to work there. In 1867 Singapore became a Crown Colony ruled by the British Government rather than the East India Company. Prosperity led to the construction of many grand buildings such as the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, which stands today.  Several temples were also built, such as the Thian Hock Keng Temple, the Sri Marimman Temple, the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple and the Leong San See Temple.

With the opening of the Suez Canal, Singapore’s location was further enhanced as a gateway between Europe and East Asia.

In January 1942 the Japanese conquered Malaysia to the north,  and Singapore had no choice but to surrender. Japan only remained in power until September 1945, but their reign was a bloody one and thousands of Chinese Singaporeans were executed.

Singapore achieved self government in 1959, briefly joined with Malaysia but became completely independent in 1965. Through the 1980s Singapore grew rapidly but the government was authoritarian and highly controlling.  A more liberal regime was introduced by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, and since 1990 Singapore has enjoyed prosperity and growth.
