(A) Information on Singapore

1. Country Description

Singapore is a small tropical island with a total land area of about 721 km². It lies just 1 degree north of the
equator. Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore was first called "Temasek" or “Sea Town".
According to a legend, a 14th century Sri Vijayan prince saw an animal he mistook for a lion on the island and
Singapore's modern name "Singa Pura" (meaning "Lion City") came about.

In 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles founded Singapore and established a trading station so that the British
could refit, feed and protect the fleet of their growing empire. Independence as a sovereign, democratic
nation was attained on 9 August 1965.

Singapore is a small, stable, highly developed country with an elected parliamentary system of government.
Tourist facilities are modern and widely available. Singapore's resident population of over 5.18 million
inhabitants (including permanent residents and foreign workers) is comprised of 75% Chinese, 14% Malay,
9% Indian, and 2% others. English is widely spoken.

There are four official languages in Singapore: Malay, Chinese (Mandarin), Tamil and English. Malay is the
national language and English is the language of administration as well as the main medium of instruction in
educational institutions. Singapore's multi-racial & multi-cultural society has brought a diversity of festivals
celebrated throughout the year. These include Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Christmas and Hari Raya.

Social Culture
People are expected to form queues to either board buses, or to wait for service. It is impolite to push
someone who is ahead of you in the queue. Do be punctual. Allow yourself sufficient time to travel. It is also
considered impolite to miss an appointment. Address the people you meet with titles such as Mr., Mrs.,
Miss, Dr. or Professor unless you are invited to use their first names.

Food culture
Food centres in local neighbourhoods or air-conditioned food courts in shopping complexes offer you a wide
variety of dishes. When dining at a food court or hawker centre, get a table, note the table number and then
look at the pictures at the stall to order. Give the stall operator your table number and wait for your food to
be delivered before making payment. Do take note that some stalls are self-service and you are expected to
make payment, wait and bring food to your table.

2. Currency Exchange/ Money Requirements

Currency: Singapore Dollars (S$)

4|P age
Only Singapore dollars can be used for any purpose eg- external transport, shopping etc, however, credit
cards can be used for shopping. As there are no designated shops for currency exchange close to NUS (your
hostels), we would suggest that students should get the currency exchanged either at authorised agents in
your home country or at the airport (in home country or Singapore). Students may want to exchange for
S$200 to S$300 for shopping, transport and activities outside curriculum hours.

3. Weather
The weather in Singapore is hot and humid with little variation throughout the year. The average daytime
temperature is 31 ˚C dropping to about 26 ˚C in the night. Summer clothing like short sleeves, light clothing
and slacks are recommended. The air-conditioner indoors can be quite cold, so you may want to bring your
jackets along when attending lectures.

4. Drinking Water
Tap water in Singapore is perfectly clean and safe to drink. Bottled water is widely available at supermarkets,
convenience stores and food centres.

5. Electricity and Voltage

Voltage is 220 – 240 AC, 50 hertz. Plug sockets are mostly 3-pronged pins. You may purchase the adaptors
from the supermarkets.

6. Cell Phone Usage

Singapore’s international dialling code is +65. With international roaming on your cell phone, calls will
automatically connect to local numbers without the need to press +65.

For calling home, students can buy pre-paid SIM cards for their mobile phones in Singapore if required.
Students opting for international roaming facility should check with their respective service provider
regarding the charges for making and receiving calls in Singapore.

7. Postal Services
The following postal services are available around the hostels, if required;

8. Lost/Stolen Property
In case of any case of lost/stolen property, a report can be made at the police stations. The police station
nearest to the hostels is located at

Authority at 10 Kallang Road (Tel: 6391 6100) to get a temporary visa.

9. Smoking
Smoking in air-conditioned areas such as shopping centres, restaurants, entertainment outlets and cinemas
is an offence. It is also not allowed on public buses, the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), taxis and in lifts. A
maximum fine of S$1,000 can be imposed on first time offenders.

10. Drugs
There are strict penalties for possession and use of drugs as well as for trafficking in illegal drugs. Trafficking
charges may be brought based on the quantity of illegal drugs in a subject’s possession, regardless of
whether there is any proven or demonstrated intent to distribute the drugs. Convicted offenders can expect
long jail sentences and heavy fines. Singapore has a mandatory death penalty for many narcotics offenses.
Singapore police have the authority to compel both residents and non-residents to submit to random drug
analysis and do not distinguish between drugs consumed before or after entering Singapore in applying local
laws.

11. Medical Facilities and Health Information

Good medical care is widely available in Singapore. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate payment for
health services by credit card or cash. You may visit the Accident and Emergency department of the National
University Hospital (NUH) if you are feeling unwell. NUH is located at

National University Hospital

Address: 585 North Bridge Road
6|P age
Tel: +65 6311 1111

Important:
Please note that visiting students (non-NUS) are not covered by the NUS student insurance scheme so
program participants should ensure that they have a valid Travel and Health Insurance for the duration of
their stay at Singapore. This is to provide them with necessary medical attention (if required) or manage any
emergency (in an unlikely situation) during the period of their stay.

12. Crime
Violent crimes against tourists in Singapore are uncommon. Petty crimes, including pick-pocketing and purse
or briefcase snatching, occur in tourist areas, hotels, and also at the airport. Travellers should exercise the
same caution in Singapore that they would in any other large city. Visitors should practice standard
precautions to avoid falling victim to credit card fraud: do not carry multiple credit cards with you; do not
allow credit cards to be removed from your sight; avoid giving credit card information over the phone; and
use only secure internet connections for financial transactions.

13. Overstaying
Overstaying is a punishable offence under the Immigration Act. Please take note of the expiry dates of your
Social Visit Pass.

14. Tipping
Not a common practice in Singapore as most hotels and restaurants include a 10% service charge in the final
bill. Tipping is not expected but it is appreciated, be it in restaurants where there is no service charge, or
anywhere where excellent service is rendered.

15. Dutiable Goods

There is NO Goods and Services Tax (GST) RELIEF AND DUTY-FREE CONCESSION ON CIGARETTES AND OTHER
TOBACCO PRODUCTS. Persons arriving in Singapore who bring in cigarettes or tobacco products, including
SDPC-marked cigarettes and any other tobacco products, are required to declare them at the Red Channel
