Overview
The Republic of Singapore consists of Island of Singapore which is located on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and about 54 small islands. One of the most inportant sea route of the world, the Strait of Malacca, is part of Singapore. The land is flat. It is very near to the equator, but thanks to the oceanic climate, Singapore is a very pleasant place to live. Singapore had prospered from ancient times due to its strategic importance for sea trade. British man, Stanford Ruffels?, began to build a city in 1819. It became a British colony in 1867 and prospered as a free-port and important port for the East-West trade. Japan occupied Singapore during WWII. After WWII it returned to British control. Singapore joined the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. However, as the struggle between majority Malayisan and Singapore's Chinese began, Singapore became an independent country in 1965. Since then, Singapore became a major economic power as a major base for international trade and international finance. It is also famous (infamous?) for its ruthless control of its citzens. Therefore, it is called "The state of fine."
