A place to work
With a population of about 4 million people and a land mass of about 650 square kilometres, Singapore may appear physically small in comparison to some of its neighbours, but its warm and friendly atmosphere is out of proportion to its geographic size. It is an ultra modern and efficient place to live, whilst retaining much of its colonial charm. The warm climate, outdoor living culture, outstanding variety of food and close proximity to neighbouring countries, presents a top-class living environment, and an idyllic beach is never far away.
