Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has gradually gotten rid of the situation of relying solely on re-export trade to make a living, and gradually developed into an emerging developed country, and is therefore known as one of the Four Asian Tigers.
As one of the richest countries in the world, its economic model is called state capitalism and is known for its stable political situation and clean and efficient government.
Singaporeans are mainly composed of immigrants and their descendants from Asia, Europe and other regions over the past 100 years. The main races are Chinese, Malay and Indian.
The Chinese in Singapore basically originate from Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan in China. 40% of them are from southern Fujian. The main religions are Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism, Christianity and Hinduism.
The characteristics of an immigrant society coupled with the history of colonial rule and the influence of geographical location make Singapore multicultural.
Singapore is a city-state, originally meaning Lion City.
In the 14th century AD, the prince of the "Kingdom of Srivijaya" in Sumatra took a boat to travel around the island. He saw a strange beast on the shore. The locals told him it was a lion. He thought it was a good omen, so he decided to build this place.
Early residents liked to use Sanskrit as place names, and Singapore is the homophonic pronunciation of the Sanskrit word "Lion City". The lion has the characteristics of bravery and majesty, so it was used as the place name.
