About Singapore
Singapore is a sovereign island city-state located at the lowest point of the Indian subcontinent. This futuristic-looking city is often billed as the place where dreams come true. Singapore as we know it was developed during the early 19th century as a British trading post. It was wrestled away from British control by the Japanese during the Second World War. And, Singapore won its autonomy in 1959. In spite of early political turbulence and a dearth of natural resources that staggered its economy, Singapore made immense progress to become one of the four Asian Tigers and the only Asian country with an AAA economic rating. It has an excellent Human Development Index rating and high GDP. Also, it draws hundreds of thousands of professionals looking for opportunities to live their dreams. It is also one of Asia’s top tourist destinations.
