Singapore

Singapore is a multiethnic society of Chinese (the majority), Malays, and Indians, plus many foreign workers, a diversity managed through official multiracial policies. It has four official languages — English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil — with English the language of business.

Religious life is correspondingly diverse, including Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Taoism, coexisting in a deliberately harmonious balance.

Society

Singapore enjoys among the world's highest incomes, life expectancy, and education standards, though it faces a very low birth rate and relies heavily on immigration.
