- Singapore is the only nation in the modern world to accept independence against its own will. The late prime minister wished to merge and unite. Although, due to extreme political issues, the Malaysian parliament unitedly voted to expel Singapore compelling the little red dot to be recognized as an independent and sovereign state.

Singapore has been one of Asia's head destinations even before the pre-pioneer period. Its location upon the Strait of Malacca makes it an essential port, which prompted its colonization by the British in the nineteenth century. From that point forward, Singapore has encountered real development and advanced into one of the world's leading financial centers.
