About Singapore
Singapore is a young city, just having celebrated its 44th year of independence in 2009.
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 here just waiting to be experienced. There’s no better place to start or grow your career.
But don’t just take it from us. According to the World Bank’s Doing Business 2009 Report, Asian expatriates rate Singapore as the best place to live in.
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, which will be ramped up with the introduction of the two upcoming Integrated Resorts. 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!
