Why live in Singapore? For commerce or retirement, Singapore has a pro business attitude, low crime rate and safe streets, a highly developed public transportation system, lush gardens, a brilliant blend of cultures, great food and a fabled history as a jewel of the English East India Company. It is widely considered one of the most pristine cities in the world, and English is among its primary languages.
Known as the gateway to Southeast Asia, Singapore has long been home to Europeans, as well as the people of countless Asian cultures. This flavors the island nation with a distinctive style and history. The fabled Raffles Hotel – birthplace of the Singapore Sling cocktail and hangout of notable writers Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, Noel Coward and W. Somerset Maugham – has been a magnet for adventurers.
