Singapore Travel and Destination Guide
OVERVIEW
The island anomaly at the bottom of the Malaysian peninsula has generated its share of stereotypes: they like their rules (yes, chewing gum is banned), or that it is expensive (compared to its neighbours it certainly is). It's also a fascinating melange of cultures that hovers between authoritarian utopia and Asian chaos. A dot with no natural resources to speak of, Singapore grew on trade, leveraging its ideal spot on the final turn between the South East Asian Pacific and India, Africa and Europe. Founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles out of a fishing village, the island's fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian and British colonial elements combine in an immaculate, orderly, yet vibrant society.
