Singapore is a city-state that gained independence on August 9, 1965, located on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, just eighty-five miles north of the equator. Despite having few natural resources, and a population of just five million, Singapore boasts the third highest per-capita income in the world.
Britannica: Singapore History
This article summarizes the history of Singapore. For links to additional topics, such as The Land or The Economy, look in the right-hand Table of Contents. “Singapore Island originally was inhabited by fishermen and pirates, and it served as an outpost for the Sumatran empire of Srivijaya. In Javanese inscriptions and Chinese records dating to the end of the 14th century, the more common name of the island is Tumasik, or Temasek, from the Javanese word tasek (‘sea’).”
CIA World Factbook: Singapore
“Singapore was founded as a British trading colony in 1819. It joined the Malaysian Federation in 1963 but separated two years later and became independent. Singapore subsequently became one of the world’s most prosperous countries with strong international trading links (its port is one of the world’s busiest in terms of tonnage handled) and with per capita GDP equal to that of the leading nations of Western Europe.” With short facts, organized into categories such as Geography, Government, and Military, the CIA World Factbook is an excellent starting point for school reports.
Singapore Memory
The Singapore Memory Project is a national online initiative to “tell the Singapore Story” in images, audio and video. Best way to enjoy is to browse the collections, campaigns, the showcase, and featured memories. You’ll find a huge variety of items from childhood memories to snaps of recent events. “The SMP aims to collect 5 million personal memories as well as a substantial number of published materials on Singapore by 2015.”
