Located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula the island-state of Singapore
is a bustling modern city; a hectic thrust of skyscrapers set amid a lush
tropical climate.
Founded in 1819 by the British as a trading colony, Singapore has blended British, Chinese, Malaysian and Indian traditions to develop a culture that’s uniquely it’s own.
Famous for its legendary food; gourmet restaurants and street side hawker centres offer a tantalizing variety of Chinese, Indian and Malay cuisines. The food here is second only to the shopping, where, as the world’s busiest port; you can find everything for sale.
Singapore has become one of the key business crossroads of the world and one of the most attractive places to do business in Asia. As a gateway to the rapidly expanding economies of Asia, Singapore provides an environment that blends the best business practices with the unique resources required to do business in this part of the world.
