Factoids - Singapore

"Singapore consists only of one main island and 63 other tiny islands. Most of these islands are uninhabited."

"The Merlion, a half-fish, half-lion beast, is a fitting symbol of Singapore. The "Singa" or lion represents the animal that a Sumatran prince saw which resembled a lion, and the fish is a tribute to Singapore's history as "Temasek", the ancient sea town. "

"Singapore is a stopover point for thousands of migratory birds travelling the East Asian Flyway."

"The world's first night zoo, The Night Safari, is located in Singapore."

"Buildings in Singapore cannot be higher than 280 metres. There are presently three buildings of that height: OUB Centre, UOB Plaza and Republic Plaza. "

"The world's highest man-made waterfall, standing at 30 metres, is located at the Jurong BirdPark. "

"The largest fountain in the world is located in Singapore at Suntec City. Made of cast bronze, it cost an estimated US$6 million to build in 1997. "

"More Singaporeans are born in the month of October than any other month of the year. "

"The most common Chinese surnames in Singapore are Tan, Lim and Lee. "

"Singapore has more than 3,000 kilometres of roads. Stretched end to end, they can cover the distance from Singapore to Hong Kong."
