| The name Singapore derives from Singa Pura translating to Lion City but don’t worry about meeting lions, according to legend, a visiting Sri Vijayan prince saw an animal he mistook for a lion and Singapore's modern day name was born. |

Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets. The main island has a total land area of just 682 square km but Singapore is one of the world’s busiest ports, super-tankers, container ships and passenger liners share the busy waters with coastal fishing vessels and wooden lighters. Singapore’s economic growth and status as a major banking and commerce centre adds to the dynamism and energy reflected in all aspects of life in this island state.
