1. Singapore is TINY. Singapore is a tiny country that is smaller than
many major cities around the world, but this city state has managed to make its
mark on the world with some top notch accolades despite its diminutive size and
relatively young age.
It ranks 15th smallest country in the world and is 30 times larger than the smallest - Tuvalu and Nauru, but because it has great infrastructure, if you take a couple of wrong turns, you may find yourself at the border.
2. Singapore is not part of any country. Singapore is an independent country, which is not part of China, or Japan, or any other country, although approximately 75% of people in Singapore are Chinese ethnic. It used to be the colony of Britain, and it got independence in 1963 as a part of Malaysia.
3. Singapore is a small city-state. It means there is only one city which occupies the whole country. Do not be troubled:
Country: Singapore
Province:
Singapore
City:
Singapore
Yes,
it is all the same here. There are only a couple of other countries which are
considered city-states and that is Monaco and
The Vatican.
4.
Singapore is where all
religions and traditions are celebrated.
One
of the aspects that make Singapore unique from anywhere else is the ability for many religions and cultures to
live in harmony, respecting and celebrating each other.
As a
result, most people are surprised about this Singapore fact the most: there is
no such thing as a “typical Singaporean” because citizens can come from very
different backgrounds and ethnicities. Singapore has freedom of worship and all
traditions and religions are respected.
Everyone is welcome to join in and this gives people a great opportunity
to understand and respect each other.
5.
Singapore has a low crime rate.
It's well known that Singapore has one of
the lowest crime rates in the world. The main reason why crime
rates in Singapore are generally very low is due to
the severe penalties that are handed out for crimes that may seem
petty to people from other parts of the world.
