Singapore can be recognized by many aspects and these are mainly the unique nature of the country.
Location and Geography: The location of Singapore can be described as the place lies at the tip of the Malay Peninsula. The borders are Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. Singapore’s total area is measured as 248 square miles i.e. in actual 642 square kilometers. The total area includes the main island and around sixty islets. The main island of the country is flat. But in the middle part there is a hilly region. The highest point is Bukit Timah. This is placed at 206 meters high above sea level. The climate is usually tropical with very high humidity. Abundant rainfall can be seen and especially during the northeast monsoon i.e. in December to March. The period of the southwest monsoon i.e. in the month June to September is usually the driest.
The main island of Singapore is fully urbanized. To the south to it, there is a dense commercial city center. Around the city center there are new townships. These townships house about 86 percent of the population. The townships are self-possessed and have high-rise apartment blocks along with shops, medical stores, amusement parks and social service buildings. You can also get religious buildings i.e. temples, schools and community halls in those townships. They are well connected by the Mass Rapid Transport System i.e. MRT. This circles the island with good frequency.
Demography: Singapore has inhabitants of about three million. Out of which 2.7 million are citizens and also permanent residents. Foreign workers are counted as the other three hundred thousand. The Chinese constitute about 78 percent, the Indians 7 percent, the Malays 14 percent, and others comprise 1 percent of the population. The ethnic composition of the population has been moderately steady.
