Singapore - Land of
Hustle - Land of Bustle.....
Singapore is
the Island Nation on the southern part of the Malay Peninsula. It's
history dates back many years, but this once fishing village island became a
boomtown of immigrants when Thomas Stamford Raffles of the British East India
Company stepped ashore in 1819 hoping to establish a trading settlement. A
subsequent treaty granted the entire island to the British.
In 1957, the British allowed the establishment of an
elected legislative assembly in Singapore. In 1963, Singapore became part
of the Federation of Malaysia, along with the newly independent state of
Malaysia. Singapore became an independent nation in 1967.
Now with its nearly 4.5 million people, Singapore
has become a modern metropolis surrounded by spotless green parks, hustle,
bustle and economic success. It is a city of polite, well-mannered
people. The nation's cultural mix is 75% Chinese, Malay 15%, Indians 7%
with a handful of Eurasians and other groups. This great diversity of
life-styles, cultures, and religions thrives within a framework of a
well-ordered society.
Singapore is a highly developed nation with
skyscrapers galore, an efficient subway system, well-maintained taxis, 5-star
hotels, world-class cuisine, gleaming mega-malls, and a visible show of
fashion. This is also a land of small discount stores, a few vacant lots,
and evening hawker food courts.
One half of the Singapore water supply comes from
captured rain. The rest comes from Malaysia. It has the 3rd lowest
fertility rate in the world. In 2005, Singapore was the busiest port in
the world. There are 63 islands making up this smallest nation in
Southeast Asia. It is one of the three remaining city-states in the
world.
Singapore 
is the cosmopolitan gateway between East and West. It is the Land of
Hustle, and the Land of Bustle.
