"Let the LIFE enjoys shopping in the shoppers paradise-Singapore"

The name Singapura comes from the Malay, Singapura which in turn comes from the Sanskrit words singa, siᚃha ("lion") and pura ("city"). The Republic of Singapore is an island country located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It lie 85miles north of the equator south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands. It is the smallest nation in Southeast Asia. Singapore consists of 63 islands including mainland Singapore.

Singapore is a popular travel destination, making tourism one of its largest industries. The Orchard Road shopping district is one of Singapore's most well-known and popular tourist draws. To attract more tourists, the government decided to legalize gambling and to allow two casino resorts (euphemistically called Integrated Resorts) to be developed at Marina South and Sentosa in 2005. To compete with regional rivals like Hong Kong, Tokyo and Shanghai, the government has announced that the city area would be transformed into a more exciting place by lighting up the civic and commercial buildings. Cuisine has also been heavily promoted as an attraction for tourists with the Singapore Food Festival in July organized annually to celebrate Singapore's cuisine
