Material: Singapore is a tropical island country, consisting of a main island and 63 small islands.
Its temperature does not change much, rainfall is abundant, and flora and fauna thrive, reflecting the characteristics of a tropical island.
Singapore's geographical location is one of the crossroads of the world.
The unique geographical conditions have allowed it to develop into a major commercial, communication and tourism center.
It is located 136.8 kilometers north of the equator, from 103° 38′ east longitude to 104° 6′ east longitude, and from 1°09′ to 1° 29′ north latitude.

People While location is one of the factors that make Singapore successful, its people are the backbone of its success.
The country lacks natural resources, but its hard-working, optimistic and cheerful people have contributed to its prosperity today.
Singapore has a population of 4 million, of which 77% are Chinese, 14% are Malays, 8% are Indians, and 1% are Eurasians and other ethnic groups.
Malay fishermen were the local indigenous inhabitants, but since Sir Stamford Raffles arrived and established a British trade transit station, Singapore has gradually become a magnet, attracting thousands of immigrants and traders.
Many people came here from China's southern provinces, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Ceylon and the Middle East in search of a better life for themselves and their families.
Although intermarriage has begun long ago, each race has maintained its own culture while integrating into Singapore as a whole.
Language Singapore has four official languages: Malay, Chinese, Tamil and English.
English is the business and official language and is the most widely used.
Most Singaporeans speak both their mother tongue and English.
Climate Singapore is located in the tropics. Relatively speaking, the temperature does not change much throughout the year. Rainfall is sufficient, air humidity is high, and the climate is warm and humid. The annual average temperature is between 23 and 31 degrees Celsius, with a small temperature difference.

During the alternating monsoon months, the surface winds are weak and changeable, and the sun is very hot, resulting in frequent showers and thunderstorms across the island from afternoon to evening.
