communities; Chinese (majority), Malay, Indian and Eurasian. Since its independence in 9 August
1965, the country has adopted a parliamentary democracy system. Currently, the government and
the cabinet are led by Prime Minister, Lee Hsien Loong while President Halimah Yacob is the Head of
State.Ideally positioned in South-east Asia, where the rest of the region is just a hop, skip and jump
away, Singapore is a thriving metropolis offering a world-class infrastructure, a fully integrated island
wide transport network, dynamic business environment, vibrant living spaces and a rich culture
largely influenced by the four major communities in Singapore with each offering different
perspective of life in Singapore in terms of culture, religion, food, language and history.
