Extractions: Singapore Despite rapid industrialisation, the majority of Singaporeans celebrate the major festivals associated with their respective religions. The variety of religions found in Singapore is a direct reflection of the diversity of races living there. The Chinese are predominantly followers of Buddhism and Taoism (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. English is widespread and is the language which unites the various ethnic groups. Children are taught in English at school but also learn their mother tongue to make sure they don't lose contact with their traditions. The only communication problem English-speakers are likely to have in Singapore is with older Singaporeans who did not learn English at school, though trying to understand the unique patois called Singlish - which uses a clipped form of English mixed with Malay and Hokkien words - can be taxing. The use of Malay is mostly restricted to the Malay community. Chinese dialects, such as Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hainanese and Hakka, are still widely spoken, especially among the older Chinese, but the government's long-standing campaign to promote Mandarin, the main non-dialectal Chinese language, has been very successful and increasing numbers of Chinese now speak Mandarin at home. Tamil is the main Indian language, though Malayalam and Hindi are also spoken.

These groups often congregated into their own districts, giving Singapore areas with distinctive buildings and styles. Take a walk down Arab street, where you'll find fabrics from across Asia. Not far from here, along Serangoon street, is "little India." Of course, there's also a Chinatown. Over the last few years or so, numerous "historical" areas have been developed, such as Bugis Junction, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Tanjong Pagar. These are very tourist-oriented areas, where the development has a Disneyland quality to it. The buildings have been completely gutted, and some even built from scratch, to conform to an ideal of what we think old Singapore should look like, rather than what they really were. That doesn't make them bad places for eating a relaxing dinner, though. Our favorite is Clarke Quay. It has the requisite compliment of far too many restaurants to choose from easily, but unlike Boat Quay just down the river, it also has carts and small curio shops to poke around in while trying to decide what kind of food you're in the mood for. Not that Boat Quay is without its own charms. Almost all the dining area is right on the river. Across the river, the neo-classical museum is brightly lit at night, making a highly romantic setting for an intimate dinner. After dinner, take a stroll down past the end of Boat Quay where the plaza of a large modern office complex affords many places to sit and watch the lights play on the water. At this point you're not far from what is currently the most popular club in Singapore, Centro.

Extractions: ASEAN Information Ministers have agreed to work together to advance and reinforce a positive international profile of ASEAN. At the recent Sixth Conference of ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI) in Hanoi, Vietnam, the Ministers requested the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information (COCI) to carry out projects which promoted a positive image of ASEAN. Minister for Information and The Arts, Mr Lee Yock Suan led the Singapore delegation to the Conference, held from 11 to 13 Oct 2000. The biennial Conference provides a forum for ASEAN Information Ministers to discuss and exchange ideas on information issues relating to broadcasat and print media, Internet and public communication matters. During the three-day Conference, the ASEAN Information Ministers also signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the implementation of the National Communication Plans to Promote ASEAN Awareness and Understanding. The MOU, among others, stipulates that each ASEAN member country shall establish an ASEAN National Information Desk to coordinate the implementation of its national communication plan to promote ASEAN awareness and understanding. During a round-table discussion at the Conference, Minister Lee said that improving ASEAN's image was a constant process of winning hearts and minds and required the support of everyone concerned. Minister Lee also informed the meeting that Channel News Asia (CNA) had launched its Regional Channel in September 2000. He added that ASEAN now had greater opportunites to be heard through CNA's TV programmes, which covered more news in ASEAN countries and interviews with ASEAN leaders.

Extractions: INTRODUCTION HISTORY CULTURE LATEST UPDATES Being a multi-racial country, Singapore has no specific cultural dance, food or music. Instead, it enjoys a mix of culture that borrows from the many different races in Singapore. However, we do have a national costume, the "Orchid Dress" which is made from fabric with orchid prints on it. We celebrate all the different holidays of the different races and these holidays include Good Friday, Lunar New Year, Hari Raya Puasa and Deepavali. Singlish, best explained as Singapore English, is the unique way we speak. It springs from English, mixed with a dash of Chinese, a spoonful of Malay, a sprinkle of Tamil and a generous serving of dialect, garnished with a distinct Singaporean accent. If you are new to Singlish, you most probably will not recognize we are actually just speaking English, and it doesn't help that we speak at a very fast pace (or so we have too often been told). Singlish was developed over the years against the backdrop of a multi-racial society. Here's a collection of Singlish you may find handy on your visit to Singapore or during your next conversation with a Singaporean.
