Singapore

The Republic of Singapore, also known as the Lion City, commonly known as Sing Tao, Sing Chau, or Singapore, is a city-state island and city-state located in Southeast Asia. The country is located at the southernmost tip of the South Central Peninsula, and holds the southernmost exit of the Strait of Malacca, which is separated from Indonesia by the Singapore Strait to the south and from Malaysia by the Strait of Johor to the north, and is connected to both sides of the Singapore-Malaysia Strait by two bridges, the Johor Long Beach and the Second Corridor. In addition to the main island of Singapore, the country also includes the surrounding islands, with the largest outer island of Singapore being Tak Kwang Island. Since Singapore’s independence, massive reclamation has added 23% of Singapore’s area, equivalent to an additional 130 square kilometers.
