SINGAPORE

You cannot possibly find a city more vibrant in South East Asia than the spectacular metropolis Singapore with its five million inhabitants.

How the city got it is name is quite enchanting itself.

Originally, the city was simply named Temasek »Sea Town«, but legends say that when Sang Nila Uttama, the Prince of Palembang, landed on the island he encountered a strange animal he had never seen before, which he mistook for a lion. The name Singa Pura »Lion City« was created.

The merlion also seems to be proof of this ancient tale, the cities patron saint that is half lion and half mermaid. It symbols strength and fearlessness but also closeness to the sea.

Once a small but strategically located island, the town transformed into the center of economic life and is now recognized as a cosmopolitan city with its five million inhabitants.

In this multifaceted city, you will quickly sense the cultural diversity of its population with Chinese, Indian, Malaysian and Eurasian residents.Singapore is one of few cities where you can actually see Christians, Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus living side by side, setting an example for the rest of the world and showing that it is not only possible but benefiting to show tolerance and respect towards others.

This positive nature and open mindedness along with their disciplined attitude has helped the Singaporeans in making their city very popular for foreign investors. Singapore is an international financial and economic center and sees itself as a hub of the region from which not only the immediate neighbors Indonesia and Malaysia benefit but Southeast Asia as a whole. More than two-third  of all goods shipped to Southeast Asia cross Singapores impressive container port. The economy is also known for being one of the freest, most innovative, most competitive and most business-friendly in the world, so doing business doesn´t get any better than in Singapore.
