The Singapore is a
small beautiful island country and has a multi racial population.
Singapore stems from the inherent cultural diversity of the island.
The immigrants of the past have given the place a mixture of Malay,
Chinese, Indian, and European influences, all of which have
intermingled. The Chinese are predominantly followers of Buddhism
and Shenism (deity worship), though some are Christians. Malays are
overwhelmingly Muslims and most of Singapore's Indians are Hindus;
there is, however, a sizeable proportion of Muslims and Sikhs
amongst the Indian population. The four official languages of
Singapore are Mandarin, Malay, Tamil and English. The most striking
part of Singapore culture is its rich ethnic multiplicity that has
brought about a seamless diffusion in the way Singaporeans go about
their everyday lives. As a result of the variegated backgrounds of
Singaporeans, the country was originally divided into several ethnic
areas such as Kampong Glam, Little India, and Chinatown. Now,
however, these divisions no longer exist but traces of each
individual culture remain in specific areas of Singapore. The
various population strands all retain their
Cultural Influences and it
could be said that there is no unique Singapore culture as such
