Located in Southeast Asia, Singapore has a land area of about 710 square kilometres, making her the smallest country in the region.  A bustling cosmopolitan city, Singapore offers a world-class living environment, with her landscape populated by high-rise buildings and gardens.

Being a multi-racial society, one distinct Singaporean feature is the ubiquitous collage of cultures. Coming together as a society and living in harmony, there are four major races – namely the Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian. At present, Singapore’s population stands at about five million people, with English as the main language of instruction, and a mother tongue for each major ethnicity.
