I am currently in the second year of junior high school and plan to go to Singapore after the high school entrance examination. Does anyone know about Singapore and can help introduce it? I only know that Chinese is spoken in Singapore.

Singapore is an island country in Southeast Asia and a city-state. The country is located at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, adjacent to the south entrance of the Strait of Malacca. It is separated from Indonesia by the Singapore Strait to the south, and separated from Malaysia by the Johor Strait to the north. It is connected between Singapore and Malaysia by a long causeway. Singapore is one of Asia's most important financial, services and shipping centers. Singapore has achieved remarkable results in urban cleaning, so it is also known as the "Garden City".

English, Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien), Tamil, and Malay are the official languages. The Chinese in Singapore basically originate from Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan in China. Most of them are Fujianese, followed by Putian, Chaoshan, Cantonese, Hakka and Hainanese.

Singapore is a city-state, originally meaning "Lion City". According to Malay historical records, around 1150 AD, Prince Panna of the Srivijaya Kingdom in Sumatra arrived on the island by boat and saw a beast, which the locals told him was a lion, hence the name "Lion City". Singapore is a homonym for "Lion City" in Sanskrit. Because local residents are deeply influenced by Indian culture, they like to use Sanskrit as place names. The lion has the characteristics of bravery and majesty, so it is natural to use it as a place name. Overseas Chinese mostly call it "Si Lat" or "Si Lat Po". The local currency is also called "Lak coin", which originates from the Malay word "strait". Some people also call it Sin Chew or Sin Chew because of its small size. of Star Island.
