GET TO KNOW ABOUT SINGAPORE
Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign island city-state in maritime Southeast Asia. It lies north of the equator, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, bordering the Straits of Malacca to the west, the Riau Islands (Indonesia) to the south and the South China Sea to the east. Modern Singapore was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles as a trading post of the British Empire. The locals of Singapore famously speak Singlish (Singapore-English) as their integral part of everyday conversation amongst Singaporeans. The Merlion (Singapore’s iconic emblem) was partly inspired by the city’s Sanskrit name, Singapura, which means "lions city.
