Singapore’s multi-racial heritage gives it a rich culture while its efficiency and modernity ensure comfort. Although geography has played a part in the success of Singapore, its mainstay is its people.
A population of almost four million comprises of 77 per cent Chinese, 14 per cent Malays, 8 per cent Indians and 1 per cent Eurasians and people of other descent. English is the lingua franca and the costumes and customs of all these races give Singapore a unique character. |
