3 About Singapore This year, Singapore commemorates her Golden Jubilee for 50th year of independence. Situated at the south of Malay Peninsula, shrouded by tropical sunshine, Singapore has been described as Asian Economic Miracle, a thriving cosmopolitan city brimming with racial diversity as well as a fine mixture of culture, language, arts, and architecture. Singapore rose to prominence largely due to her strategic position as a trading port, a stable government and its pro- business policies and institutions, which is of paramount paramount importance for Multi- National Companies (MNC) to gain confidence to invest in. Through the years after independence, the nation has developed its economic prowess and gains much respect in terms of international standing. Educational quality and a diverse culture has always been Singapore s pride. Singapore witnessed clashes and integrations of various cultures and has since cultivated a unique cultural meting pot. While continuing to act as the regional center, embracing the diversity while maintaining her uniqueness, Singapore is building the reputation as a home for all.
