About Singapore Some refer to her as the “little red dot�, but Singapore’s presence in the world today is larger than that moniker. In fact, Singapore is a bustling cosmopolitan city that offers a world-class living environment, with her landscape populated by high-rise buildings and gardens. Unlike, many world destinations, Singapore has, through her history, accumulated a rich and diverse culture where people of different ethnicities and beliefs coexist. Even as, Singapore celebrates its diversity of cultures, it embraces the future and worldwide trends in leisure and entertainment. As a result, tourists find Singapore to be full of fresh surprises and worthy of repeat visits.
