Sofie's Singapore Powerpoint

1. Geography
Singapore.

2. • Singapore is the largest port in South Asia.
• It is one of the busiest cities in the world.
• Singapore has up to 1,000 rain forests
within.

3. • As you probably know, Singapore is a very
hot country, the average temperature
varies from about 27 degrees to 25
degrees. The highest temperature ever
recorded was 36 degrees.

4. The Merlion.
• Singapore was founded by a Malay prince who saw a lion when he
first stepped foot on the now sovereign island, before he established
a new settlement there.
•
• The country’s name pays homage to those beginnings: “Singapura”
traces its roots back to Sanskrit, more specifically to the word
“Singa” for “lion” and “Pura” for “city” – which also explains
Singapore’s nickname as the “Lion City”.
•
• More than that, the lion head also symbolizes bravery and strength,
while its chimeric element embodies the passion to leap forwards,
all qualities greatly valued among Singaporeans.

5. Pollution.
• In Singapore there is no litter anywhere,
there isn’t even chewing gum on the floor.
• Singapore banned chewing gum; it made
too much mess. If you were to look
around there would be no litter anywhere,
you would be looking for years if you did.

6. What is Singapore best known
for.
• Singapore is known for its clean streets
and its modern and tall buildings.
• It is also one of the second most
expensive countries in the whole world
along with Switzerland and Japan.

7. The Singapore flag.
• Singapore’s flag was created on
December 3rd 1959 when the country
became an independent nation.
• The flag has two equal-sized horizontal
stripes, red on the top, white on the
bottom. There is a white crescent moon
and a circle of five five-pointed white stars
in the red section.
