Singapore’s multi-racial population, which includes foreigners, numbers 4.16 million people, comprising 77% Chinese, 14% Malays, and 7% Indians. English is the lingua franca, followed by Mandarin and other Chinese dialects, Malay, Tamil and other Indian languages. The country offers a wide variety of ethnic and foreign cuisine, in view of its multi-racial composition, free trade and international business practices, and openness to foreign influence. The Malays, who are largely Moslems, abstain from eating pork and drinking alcoholic beverages. Most Indians are Hindus who avoid eating beef. Strict Chinese Buddhists refrain from eating meat on certain religious days.
Singapore enjoys year-long hot and humid tropical climate. The island nation’s landmass of 685 square kilometres could still be growing through land reclamation. Urbanization has reduced farming land to less than 3% of total landmass. The country’s population density of 6,075 people per square kilometre is one of the highest in Asia. Over 94% of the inhabitants live in high-rise apartments owned and managed by the government. The country exercises strict environmental and security laws.
