Singapore Guide

Singapore is clean, safe, efficient multi-cultural metropolis or derided as a sterile, paternalistic, monotonous temple to mammon. Well, it’s your choice to see it as one or the other - Singapore doesn’t really mind, as long as you spend up big in the city’s emporiums (and don’t chew gum while you’re at it). The city rose from the ashes of World War II - a corrupt, mosquito-ridden colonial outpost eking a living as a trading centre by virtue of its strategic position at the centre of S-E Asia and its natural port.

Sightseeing of Singapore:

- Arab Street - Muslim centre of Singapore. The Sultan Mosque dominates the area, a fantastic building with its impressive gold dome and vast prayer hall.

- Asian Civilizations Museum – This museum was opened in 1997, this museum mounts cultural and anthropological exhibits covering the major civilizations of China, India and Southeast Asia, from prehistory to the present day.

- Civilian War Memorial - This strikingly simple memorial is dedicated to the civilians who lost their lives during the Japanese occupation in the Second World War. Locals call "Chopsticks" memorial because of its unusual design. You’ll find it near the Raffles City Complex.
