The English name of "Singapore" is an anglicisation of the native Malay name for the country, Singapura (pronounced [siลapura]), which was in turn derived from the Sanskrit word for 'lion city'.
Its official languages are English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil.
They drive on the LEFT side of the road.
It has the second highest population density of any country in the world.
Their system of Government is a unitary parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government, and its legal system is based on common law.
Which translated means they can vote BUT they have a centralized government which dictates to all the "lesser" governments what they can and cannot do. ๐คจ
This is their "official" breakdown of religions:
Religion (2020)
31.1% Buddhism
20.0% no religion
18.9% Christianity
15.6% Islam
8.8% Taoism
5.0% Hinduism
0.6% other
"The proportion of Christians among Singaporeans has increased in the last few decades: 9.9% in 1980; 12.7% in 1990; 14.6% in 2000 and 18.9% in 2020. Christianity has flourished in present-day Singapore, and a growing number of Singaporeans are converting to the faith or were born into Christian families."

AND, as of very recently, I get ten times more people from Singapore viewing my blog than any other country in the World.
I SEE you, Singapore!๐ค and I'm flattered, humbled and grateful by your attention and I am remembering you in my prayers, as I'm sure many other of my blog readers will also do. ๐
