Location Information
Singapore
Singapore is one of the most diverse Asian countries, with three major ethnic groups (Chinese, Malay, Indian) and four official languages (English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil). Known as the place where "East meets West," many Singaporeans are bilingual, and most speak Singaporean English. Because Singapore is a secular immigrant country, the government heavily emphasizes respect for different religions and personal beliefs.
Everyone in Singapore has access to education, which equips them with skills and knowledge to earn a better living. The best and brightest, regardless of race, religion and socio-economic background, are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential.
Singaporean culture is a combination of Malay, South Asian, East Asian, and Eurasian cultures. Its cuisine is a prime example of this diversity and diffusion. In Singapore's hawker centers you will find Malay stalls selling Tamil food and Chinese stalls incorporating Malay ingredients, cooking techniques or entire dishes into their range of catering. It is also known for its beautiful Singapore Botanic Gardens, one of three gardens, and the only tropical garden, honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
