DESCRIBE ONE COUNTRY

SINGAPORE

Singapore is a country located off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137 kilometers north of the equator in Southeast Asia.

Singapore is the third leading financial center in the world and a cosmopolitan world city that plays an important role in international trade and finance.

The Port of Singapore is one of the five busiest ports in the world.

This country is one of the 5 founders of ASEAN.

This country located on the Malay Peninsula was fully independent on August 9, 1965.

Singapore borders:
North: Johor Strait - Malaysia
South: Singapore Strait - Riau Islands (Indonesia)
East: Indonesia and Malaysia
West: Malaysia and Indonesia

The national anthem of this country is "MAJULAH SINGAPURA", these 2 words are also used as the motto of the country.

Singapore consists of 63 islands, including mainland Singapore.

The main island is often called Singapore Island but is officially called Ujong Island.

There are two artificial bridges leading to Johor, Malaysia: Johor – Singapore Causeway in the north, and Tuas Second Link in the west.

Jurong Island, Tekong Island, Ubin Island and Sentosa Island are the largest of several small islands in Singapore.

The highest natural point is Bukit Timah Hill with a height of 166 meters.

Singapore has many land reclamation projects with land obtained from hills, the seabed, and neighboring countries.

As a result, Singapore's mainland expanded from 581.5 km2 in the 1960s to 704 km2 today, and will expand again to 100 km2 by 2030.

The project sometimes requires combining several small islands through land reclamation to form large and useful islands, for example Jurong Island.

Singapore's population has the sixth highest percentage of foreigners in the world. Around 42% of Singaporeans are foreigners and they make up 50% of the country's service sector.

Most come from China, Malaysia, the Philippines, North America, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, Bangladesh and India.

This country is the second most populous in the world after Monaco.

According to government statistics, the population of Singapore in 2009 was 4.99 million, of which 3.73 million were citizens and permanent residents of Singapore (called "Singapore Residents").

The number of citizens in 2009 was 3.2 million. Various Chinese language groups make up 74.2% of Singapore's population, Malay 13.4%, Indians 9.2%, while Eurasians, Arabic and other groups make up 3.2% of Singapore's population.

Merlion or sea lion is a lion-headed fish statue.

The Merlion was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) in 1964 and was used as its logo until 1997.

Merlion remains the symbol of its trademark today. He also often appears in souvenirs approved by the STB.

The original Merlion statue stands at the mouth of the Singapore River while a taller replica can be found on Sentosa Island.

The Merlion is 8.6 meters high and weighs 70 tons. The Merlion statue was built from a cement mix by Singaporean artist, Lim Nang Seng.

The religion in Singapore is dominated by Buddhism with 33% of the population of this country declaring themselves adherents of that religion at the last census. Viharas and Dharma centers of the three great Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana) can be found in Singapore.

Chinese Mahayana is the most dominant form of Buddhism in Singapore with missionaries from Taiwan and China for decades. However, Thailand's Theravada Buddhism has gained popularity among people (not including China) in the past decade. Soka Gakkai International, a Japanese Buddhist organization, is practiced by many people in Singapore, most of whom are of Chinese descent. Tibetan Buddhism has also slowly entered this country in recent years.

English is the most dominant language in Singapore.

Among Singaporeans, English has the highest number of speakers. This number is followed by Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. The spelling and vocabulary used comes from British English, with a few exceptions, for example the use of "pants" (United States) replacing "trousers" (Great Britain).

Malay is the national language for symbolic and historical reasons, and is generally spoken by the Malay community of Singapore.

Malay is used in the national anthem "Majulah Singapura" and minted coins. However, around 85% of Singaporeans do not speak Malay.

Mandarin is also widely spoken in Singapore.

Mandarin has been widespread due to the campaign and efforts of the government to support the government to support its use among other Chinese languages.

Tamil is spoken by around 60% of Singapore's Indian community or 5% of the entire population of Singapore.

Indian languages ​​such as Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi are also spoken by a small group of Indians in Singapore.
