Singapore : Negara Maju dan Sangat Tertata Rapi

 




Everyone has heard of it, but exactly where is Singapore? And more curiously, is it a city, island, or country?

The short answer: All three! Singapore is a city and island nation.

The Republic of Singapore is a sovereign island nation located just off the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia in Southeast Asia.

Singapore is an anomaly, and they're quite proud of it. The country is currently the only city-island-nation in the world. Although Hong Kong is also considered a city-island, it is still considered a Special Administrative Region that is part of China.

Actually, Singapore's territory consists of one primary island and at least 62 smaller islets. Discerning the difference gets a little fuzzy. Dry land suitable for development is precious in the island nation. An ongoing land-reclamation effort creates desperately needed real estate each year. Many new artificial islands get created, probably really exciting the geologists in charge of keeping count.1













The Merlion Park is a Singaporean landmark and a major tourist attraction located in the Downtown Core district of Singapore, near its Central Business District (CBD).

The Merlion is a mythical creature with a lion's head and the body of a fish that is widely used as a mascot and national personification of Singapore. Two Merlion statues are located at the park. The original Merlion structure measures 8.6 meters tall and spouts water from its mouth. It has subsequently been joined by a Merlion cub, which is located near the original statue and measures just 2 metres tall.
