Abstract:

Singapore is home to 2.7 million and may be the financial center of southeast Asia. This film explores the reasons for this phenomenal success. The population is multi-ethnic and also multi-religious. Its cuisine is as varied as its ethnic kaleidoscope. The Singaporean government has restricted striking and gambling, and even chewing gum is banned. Selling certain illicit narcotics can bring a death sentence. The government has gradually altered its educational emphasis from the primary to the secondary and technical level. Its one university has grown into three. Singapore is positioned to become the world’s fourth largest center of trade. Shopping and merchandising are a great preoccupation.
