South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore were the 4 original Tigers and Singapore has continued to become one of the leading lights in the region.

The main Island of Singapore is only about 16 miles long and at its widest point just over 8 miles. There are numerous other islands so its surface area is constantly being increased by land reclamation and joining other islands together and to the mainland. Nevertheless it has a small geographic area and yet has a population of just over 5 Million souls.

The success of Singapore has been due to the industry and business friendly nature of its government who have concentrated on ensuring that everything possible is done to make Singapore one of the easiest places to do business in the world. Strategically situated in the Singapore Strait it is one of the busiest ports in the world lying directly on the shipping route between the East and Suez. All ships bound for Europe from Japan and Korea to the East, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong are almost obliged to pass through these straits, sailing, as they do, down the South China Sea with the Philippines and Brunei to the south and then turning north up the Malacca strait, with Indonesia to the South to sail across the Indian Ocean on the most Direct route to Suez. But not only has its position made it a major way point and refuelling station it has been very diligent of becoming a trading power house in its own right.
