Explore Singapore

The small city-island state of Singapore has achieved much and has even grander ambitions, but its most distinct joys are to be found in its warm, eclectic people, ethnic neighbourhoods, and the pleasure afforded by its food culture, shopping and nightlife.

For some, Singapore is merely a welcome stopover, with its top-rated airport making it the perfect gateway to Southeast Asia. For others, this tiny island, with its legendary cleanliness, widespread use of English and celebrated sights, shops, eateries and colourful ethnic neighbourhoods, is an appealing destination in its own right. Indeed, Singapore is an ideal introduction, in fact, to all of Asia in one fell swoop.

Development

In 1819, Englishman Thomas Stamford Raffles from the British East India Company recognised the potential of this tiny island. At the time, it was shrouded in jungle and swamp, occupied only by Orang Laut (Sea People), a few Malay families and some Chinese traders. Raffles ordered the land to be cleared, oversaw an ambitious construction campaign and brought labourers and merchants from China, India and all over Southeast Asia to set up a trading post. His free-trade policies soon created a thriving port town of around 10,000 residents. In short, Raffles can confidently be described as the founding father of modern-day Singapore: both his energy and foresight are embedded in the cultural DNA of this city-state.

Modern-day Singapore

Singapore owes much of its success to the visionary leadership of visionary Lee Kuan Yew (19232015), the countrys first prime minister (from 1958 to 1990). Under the direction of Yew and his successors, Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong, Singapore has continued to flourish as one of Southeast Asias brightest stars. The governments paternal approach has defused racial and labour disputes, whereas its public housing schemes have provided most citizens with their own homes. In turn, savvy economic policies have attracted foreign trade and investment.
