Singapore, officially the
Republic of Singapore, is a southeast Asian city-state
off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, 137
kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. An island
country made up of 63 islands, it is separated from
Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from
Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its
south. The country is highly urbanised with very little
primary rainforest remaining, although more land is
being created for development through land reclamation. (Source:
