GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information about Singapore for Meeting Planners and Event Professionals

​

Singapore is a sovereign city state located in the south of Malaysia and consisting of 63 islands. It is an important international financial centre with a highly multicultural population and is considered to have one of the freest, most innovative, competitive, dynamic and business-friendly economies in the world. Singapore is famous for its information and communication technologies (ICT) and it contains more than 7,000 multinational companies from the United States, Japan, China, Europe, and India. Approximately 44 percent of the workforce in Singapore consists of non-Singaporeans. The city state is ranked 5^th on the UN Human Development Index, along categories such as healthcare, education, life expectancy, quality of life, housing and personal safety, and it has the 3^rd highest GDP per capita in the world. Regardless of its relatively small size, Singapore has a large diversity of languages, religions, and cultures. There are four official languages (English, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, and Tamil) and almost all the inhabitants are at least bilingual. The most practiced religion is Buddhism (33% of the population), followed by Christianity, Islam, Taoism and Hinduism. Some of Singapore’s most important landmarks include the colonial centers on the Padang, the City Hall (famous for its 18 Corinthian columns), and the red and gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple from the city’s Chinatown.
