Also dubbed the “lion city” or the “garden city” or the “little red dot,” singapore is one of the definite go-to places in south east asia. Despite its modern high-rise buildings and cityscapes, singapore maintains its greenery and nature through the government’s greening policy, an initiative that covers the island with various tropical flora, parks and gardens. Singapore is also very rich and diverse in their culture, with 38% of singapore’s 5.6 million residents being permanent residents and foreign nationals, and having four official languages: english, malay, mandarin and tamil, thus making almost all singaporeans bilingual.
