More information about the video content bellow: 1. Singapore is a rapidly growing city-state of nearly 6 million people. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. Singapore has transformed itself from a third-world, swampy island to a first-class, modern city in just fifty years. It’s a regional hub for corporations, with its own high tech centers, biomedical facilities and so on. 2. The country sits just 85 miles north of the equator and the temperature is always mild. The lowest minimum recorded temperature ever is Singapore was 19C and that was 80 years ago! 3. The earliest recorded name for the present day Singapore is 'Temasek' (means 'Sea Town' in Old Javanese language). Sang Nila Utama, a Srivijayan prince from Palembang (of present day Indonesia) went to the island of Temasek for hunting and saw a strange animal with an orange body, black head. He was told that it probably was a lion. He believed it to be a good omen and founded a city in 1324. He named the city "Singapura" ("Singa" is a Sanskrit word for lion, and "Pura" means city in Sanskrit - The name thus means the "Lion City"). 4. The largest fountain in the world is in Singapore. The Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City cost Singapore about US$6 million to build. 5. In Singapore, fines are very high. Fine for spitting on the ground – is $ 500. Fine for smoking in public places – is $ 500. Throwing litter, such as scraps of paper – is a fine of $ 500. The penalty for leaving water in the saucer under the pot while the watering of the flowers – is $ 500 (water is attracting the mosquitoes). 6. In Singapore, the number of the vehicles is restricted artificially. To buy a car, you need a special permit for car (this permission is given for 10 years). This permit will cost about ten thousand dollars on auction. Then, you need to buy yourself a car which has an import duty (41% of the cost). And finally, you need to pay a fee for putting on record – 140% of the value of the car. Thus, buying, for example, a modest Toyota Corolla will cost not less than $ 100 000. 7. Despite the fact that Singapore is called “the concrete jungle”, in almost every area of the city there are playgrounds and a park with an abundance of greenery, where you can relax and enjoy the fresh air. Almost half of the territory of Singapore is covered by vegetation – by gardens and by national parks. Singapore was also built by all the canons of Feng Shui – its landscape and architecture consistent with this teaching about the impact of energy flows of person.
