About Singapore

A vibrant, young city that’s grown phenomenally since its independence in 1965.

Its youthfulness can be felt in the sheer vibrancy of its people and landscape.

Here, you will find a diverse population amidst a modern cityscape, which adds to the unique identity of Singapore. People here work hard and play hard. Putting in a 10-hour work day followed by clubbing all night with friends is common. We know how to live life to the fullest!

A Platform to Launch Your Career

Don’t let the nation’s youth fool you – Singapore has an impressive list of achievements. We are renowned in many industries, including finance, oil and gas, electronics, manufacturing, education, healthcare and IT. This creates a wide range of career opportunities awaiting you. There’s no better place to start or grow your career.

But don’t just take it from us. Besides being ranked by the World Bank in 2012 as the world's easiest place to do business (out of 183 countries), Singapore has, among its many accolades, the top ranking in the IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook 2011 as being the most competitive economy in the world. Singapore was also ranked by the Mercer 2011 Quality of Living Survey as the top Asian country for its quality of life.

Home Away from Home

Singapore’s crime rates are low – it is generally safe here, even at night. Singapore is also one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the world, with excellent public transportation, communications, educational and healthcare systems. You can find almost any modern-day convenience here.

Of course, we can’t forget fun! Singapore’s clubbing scene has favourite hotspots such as Zouk and Butter Factory that see queues every weekend. Sentosa’s chillout zones by the sea, like the Café Del Mar club and the annual Zoukout event that attracts international attention, are also big draws for partygoers.

We also have a lively entertainment scene, full of concerts and performances. Check out our two Integrated Resorts – Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands – for great restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Our well-known passion for food also means that you can find all kinds of cuisines from affordable to gourmet, everywhere you turn, even in the middle of the night. Perfect for after-party hunger pangs!
