Officially referred to as the Republic of Singapore, Singapore, is located on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. As one of the ancient ports, this island state was under Japanese, Malay, and British possession respectively. At 123New Year, you are offered extensive information About Singapore, Holidays in Singapore and Attractions in Singapore. The Japanese occupation post WW II was followed by the union which established Malaysia. Singapore has trafficked in opium and smuggled pearl; you can recapture the colonial ambience today with a Singapore Sling under the grand fans in the Raffles Hotel. This is one place which will take you back to the days of Forster's A Passage to India.
At a glance, Singapore appears appallingly up to date and anonymous. This is contradicted by the irrefutable culture of Chinese, Malay, and Indian institutions - from feng shui to ancestor worship - comprising the milieu on a daily basis. These contrasting aspects are all that bring the city to life. Come here any time of the year and coordinate the vacation with any of the festivities or events. One such is the magnificent Thaipusam, held in February, as also the Singapore Food Festival in April and the Great Singapore Sale in June.
