Habibie tomonidan pejorativ sifatida kiritilgan) yoki Arslon shahri (asl sanskritcha ismning so'zma-so'z tarjimasi), Singapur - olti yarim millionga yaqin odam yashaydigan kichik orolda joylashgan kichik mamlakat. Bu juda gavjum shahar va aslida u ikkinchi o'rinda turadi Monako dunyodagi eng zich joylashgan mamlakat sifatida. Aholisi zich joylashgan boshqa ko'plab mamlakatlardan farqli o'laroq, Singapur o'z hududining 50% dan ko'prog'ini ko'kalamzorlashtirgan va 50 dan ortiq yirik bog'lar va 4 ta qo'riqxonalarga ega; bu sehrli bog'da shahar. O'z-o'zini qamrab oladigan yirik shaharchalar toza va zamonaviy shahar markazi atrofida butun orol bo'ylab qo'ziqorin kabi paydo bo'ldi. Shaharning markazi janubda joylashgan bo'lib, taxminan Orchard Road savdo zonasi, Riverside, yangi Marina Bay zonasi va shuningdek, osmono'par binolar bilan to'ldirilgan Shenton Way moliyaviy tumanidan iborat. Bularning barchasi qisqartmalarni sevuvchi Singapurda CBD (Markaziy biznes okrugi).

Manzillar

Markazda Singapurning manzillar tizimi G'arb mamlakatlariga (masalan, 17 Orchard Road) o'xshashdir, ammo chekkasidagi yangi uy-joylar qo'rqinchli ko'rinishi mumkin: odatdagi manzil "Blk 505 Jurong West St 51 # 01-186" bo'lishi mumkin. ". Bu erda "Blk 505" uy-joy blokining raqami (Blk = Blok), "Jurong West St 51" ko'chaning nomi / raqami va "# 01-186" 1-qavat (er sathida) kvartirani yoki 186-sonli do'konni anglatadi. Ham uy-joy bloklari, ham ko'chalar raqamlarining birinchi raqami qo'shnining raqamidir (bu holda 5), ​​bu to'g'ri joyni qisqartirishni osonlashtiradi. Shuningdek, 6 xonali pochta indekslari mavjud bo'lib, ular umuman aynan bitta binoga to'g'ri keladi. Masalan, "Blk 9 Bedok South Avenue 2" - "Singapur 460009".

Tushuning

Singapur - bu Osiyodan, bir soat ichida o'tib bo'lmaydigan mamlakatda xitoylar, malaylar, hindular va butun dunyo bo'ylab ishchilar va chet elliklarning katta guruhi joylashgan mikrokozm. 2015 yilda 50 yoshini nishonlagan Singapur, ko'pincha ijtimoiy muammolardan ko'ra iqtisodiy amaliylikni tanlamagan, bu kabi ulkan loyihalar bilan erlarni doimiy ravishda qayta ishlatishni va qayta qurishni rag'batlantiradi. Marina Bay Sands va Jahon Sentosa kurortlari birlashgan kurortlar hamda Osiyodagi muhim moliyaviy markazga aylandi, ammo shu bilan birga mahalliy merosni saqlab qolish uchun tobora ortib bormoqda Balestier va boshqa joylarda; mamlakat kelajagi uchun muvozanatni saqlashga qaratilgan ko'plab qarorlardan faqat bittasi.

Tarix

Yozma tarixiy yozuvlarda Singapurning birinchi eslatmalari ikkinchi va uchinchi asrlarga tegishli bo'lib, unda Sabana va Pu Luo Chung nomlari bilan yunon va xitoy matnlarida uning joylashgan joyi to'g'risida noaniq ma'lumot topilgan. Afsonaga ko'ra, Srivijayan shahzoda Sang Nila Utama 13-asrda orolga tushib, o'zini sher deb o'ylagan g'alati jonzotni ko'rib, o'zi chaqirgan yangi shaharni topishga qaror qildi. Singapur, Sanskrit uchun Arslon shahri. Afsuski, Singapur yaqinida yoki Malayaning boshqa joylarida hech qachon sherlar bo'lmagan, shuning uchun sirli hayvon, ehtimol yo'lbars yoki yovvoyi cho'chqa edi.

Ko'proq tarixiy yozuvlarga ko'ra, orol kamida ikki asr oldin joylashtirilgan va nomi bilan mashhur bo'lgan Temasek, "Dengiz shaharchasi" uchun yava, va uchun muhim port Sumatran Srivijaya qirolligi. Biroq, Shrivijaya 1400 yil atrofida va Temasek yiqilib, janjal podsholiklari tomonidan kaltaklandi Siam va Yava Majapaxit, tushunarsiz bo'lib qoldi. Singapura sifatida u keyinchalik qisqa vaqt ichida savdo markazi sifatida muhim ahamiyat kasb etdi Melaka Sultonlik va keyinchalik Johor Sultonlik. Biroq, portugaliyalik bosqinchilar aholi punktini vayron qilishdi va Singapura yana bir bor qorong'i bo'lib qoldi.

Bugungi kunda biz bilgan Singapur haqidagi voqea shu tariqa 1819 yilda boshlangan Ser Tomas Stemford Raffles Sultonligi taxtiga da'vogar bilan shartnoma tuzdi Johor: orolda savdo punktini tashkil etish huquqi evaziga inglizlar uning da'vosini qo'llab-quvvatlaydi. Gollandiyaliklar dastlab norozilik bildirishgan bo'lsa-da, 1824 yilda Malay dunyosini ingliz va golland ta'sir doiralariga ajratgan Angliya-golland shartnomasi imzolandi (natijada hozirgi Malayziya-Indoneziya va Singapur-Indoneziya chegaralari). Ushbu shartnoma mojaroni tugatdi. Gollandlar Singapurga bo'lgan da'volaridan voz kechib, o'zlarining mustamlakalarini topshirdilar Malakka inglizlarga Sumatra ustidagi o'z mustamlakalarini gollandlarga berish evaziga inglizlarga.

Malakka bo'g'oziga kiraverishda yaxshi joylashtirilgan, Xitoy, Hindiston, Evropa va Avstraliya o'rtasidagi savdo yo'llarini chetlab o'tgan Rafflesning ustma-ust zarbasi Singapurni bepul port, savdoda boj olinmaydi. Savdogarlar Gollandiyaning og'ir soliqlaridan qutulish uchun yig'ilishganida, savdo punkti tez orada Osiyoning eng gavjum joyiga aylanib, uzoqdan odamlarni jalb qildi. Bilan birga Penang va Malakka, Singapur ulardan biriga aylandi Bo'g'ozlar aholi punktlari va ingliz mustamlakachilik tojidagi marvarid. Malayaning boshqa qismlaridan palma yog'i va kauchuk qayta ishlanib, Singapur orqali jo'natilib yuborilganida, uning iqtisodiy boyligi yanada kuchaygan. 1867 yilda Boğazlar aholi punktlari ajralib chiqdi Britaniya Hindistoni va to'g'ridan-to'g'ri boshqariladigan toj koloniyasiga aylandi.

Qachon Ikkinchi jahon urushi chiqib ketdi, Singapur qal'asi Buyuk Britaniyaning dahshatli bazasi sifatida qaraldi va dengiz kuchlari tomonidan hujumdan saqlanib turadigan ulkan dengiz istehkomlari mavjud edi. Biroq, qal'ada nafaqat park bor edi - aksariyat kemalar Buyuk Britaniyani nemislardan himoya qilish uchun bog'langan edi - lekin yaponlar donolik bilan Malayani o'rniga velosipedda o'tishni tanladilar. Artilleriyani shoshilinch ravishda aylantirganiga qaramay, bu inglizlar uchun tayyorlanmagan narsa edi va 1942 yil 15-fevralda, bir haftadan kam davom etgan jangdan so'ng zaxiralari juda past bo'lgan Singapur, nomusli ravishda taslim bo'ldi. Koloniyaning doimiy hukmdorlari Changi qamoqxonasiga joylashtirildi va o'n minglab Singapurliklar keyingi shafqatsiz ishg'olda halok bo'ldi. 1945 yilda inglizlar qaytib kelishdi, ammo ularning vaqti tugashi aniq edi.

1955 yilda o'z-o'zini boshqarish huquqiga ega bo'lgan Singapur qisqa vaqt ichida qo'shildi Malayziya 1963 yilda federatsiya inglizlar ketgach, 1964 yilda ikki qonli irqiy tartibsizliklar natijasida chiqarib yuborilgan edi, chunki xitoylar ko'p bo'lgan shahar Malay hukmronligiga tahdid sifatida ko'rilgan edi. Binobarin, 1965 yil 9 avgustda orol mustaqil bo'lganida, Singapur zamonaviy dunyo tarixida o'z irodasiga qarshi mustaqillikka erishgan yagona mamlakat bo'ldi. Keyingi 31 yillik marhum bosh vazir tomonidan boshqarilgan temir yo'l Li Kuan Yu Singapur iqtisodiyoti jadal rivojlanayotganini ko'rdi, chunki bu mamlakat tabiiy resurslari etishmasligiga qaramay, Osiyodagi eng badavlat va eng rivojlangan davlatlardan biriga aylanib, to'rtta davlatdan biriga aylandi. Sharqiy Osiyo yo'lbarslari. Endi Li o'g'li boshchiligida Li Syen Lun, qaror Xalq harakati partiyasi (PAP) 2020 yilgi umumiy saylovlarda parlamentdagi 93 o'rindan 83tasi bilan siyosiy sahnada hukmronlik qilishni davom ettirmoqda. Ijtimoiy cheklovlar yumshatildi, ammo hukumat o'zining saqlanib qolgan imidjini silkitishga urinib ko'rdi va siyosiy nazorat va ijtimoiy erkinlik o'rtasidagi nozik muvozanat harakati qanday amalga oshirilishini ko'rish kerak.

Zamonaviy davrda Singapur o'zini AQSh va Xitoy kabi yirik jahon davlatlarining manfaatlarini muvozanatlashtiruvchi neytral davlat sifatida ko'rsatishga urindi. Bu chet el rahbarlari o'rtasidagi diplomatik jihatdan nozik muzokaralar uchun Singapurni Shveytsariyaning mashhur muqobiliga aylantirdi, masalan, Xitoy prezidenti Si Tszinpin va Tayvan prezidenti Ma Yingning 2015 yilda bo'lib o'tgan uchrashuvi va Amerika prezidenti Donald Tramp va Shimoliy Koreya rahbari Kim Chenning uchrashuvi. - 2018 yilda.

Odamlar

Singapur ko'p irqli mamlakat ekanligidan faxrlanadi va kichikligiga qaramay turli madaniyatlarga ega. Singapurliklar aholining uchdan ikki qismini tashkil qiladi. Eng katta guruh xitoylardir (taxminan 75%), ularning eng katta kichik guruhlari Hokkien, Teochew va Kanton tilida so'zlashuvchilar bo'lib, ular Mandarin tilida lingua franca jamiyatning. Xitoyliklar orasida boshqa diqqatga sazovor dialekt guruhlari orasida xakkalar, xaynanliklar, foxovlar va xenxualar mavjud. Singapurning asl aholisi avlodlari hamda hozirgi Malayziya, Indoneziya va Bruneydan kelgan migrantlardan tashkil topgan malayziyaliklar barcha singapurliklarning 14 foizini tashkil qiladi. Hindlar aholining taxminan 9 foizini tashkil qiladi. Hindlar orasida tamillar eng katta guruhni tashkil qilmoqdalar, ammo malayalam, panjabi, gujarati va hind kabi boshqa hind tillarida so'zlashuvchilar soni ham oz emas. Qolganlari ko'plab boshqa madaniyatlarning aralashmasidir, xususan Evropa va Osiyo kelib chiqishi evrosiyoliklar, shuningdek, xitoy va malay millatlaridan kelib chiqqan xitoylik Peranakanlar yoki bo'g'ozlar.

Singapur har doim ochiq mamlakat bo'lib kelgan va aholisining kamida uchdan bir qismi boshqa joylardan kelgan. Ular birma tilidan tortib to yaponcha va tailandliklarga qadar. Bundan tashqari, ko'plab filippinliklar mavjud, ularning aksariyati xizmat ko'rsatish sohasida yoki mahalliy yordamchi sifatida ishlaydi. Jamoat joylarida quvnoq va tabassum qilgan filippinliklarning oltmishini ko'rish mumkin, ulardan biri bu savdo majmuasi Lucky Plaza yakshanba kuni Orchard yo'li bo'ylab joylashgan bo'lib, ular yakka dam olish kunlari. Biroq, Xitoy va Hindistondan kelgan migratsiyaning sezilarli darajada ko'payishi nafaqat Mandarin tilida so'zlashuvchilarning ba'zi bir noroziligiga va kattaroq cho'ntaklariga olib keldi.

Marina Bay Sands va Singapore Flyer

Singapur diniy jihatdan xilma-xil bo'lib, ko'pchilikni tashkil etadigan diniy guruhlar va konstitutsiya bilan kafolatlangan diniy erkinlik yo'q. Buddizm aholining uchdan bir qismi o'zlarini buddist deb e'lon qilgan eng yirik din. Ko'p sonli mavjud bo'lgan boshqa dinlarni o'z ichiga oladi Nasroniylik, Islom, Hinduizm va daosizm. "Katta beshlik" dan tashqari yana juda kichik sonlar mavjud Sixlar, Zardushtiylar, Yahudiylar, Baxaylar va jaynlar. Singapurliklarning 17 foizga yaqini hech qanday diniy e'tiqodga da'vo qilmaydilar.

Iqlim

Singapur Ekvatordan 1,17 daraja shimolda joylashganligi sababli, uning tropik ob-havosi odatda quyoshli bo'lib, aniq fasllarga mos kelmaydi. Yil davomida deyarli har kuni yomg'ir yog'adi, odatda to'satdan kuchli yog'ingarchiliklar kamdan-kam bir soatdan ko'proq davom etadi. Biroq, yog'ingarchilikning ko'p qismi shimoliy-sharqiy musson paytida (noyabrdan yanvargacha) sodir bo'ladi, vaqti-vaqti bilan uzoq muddatli tinimsiz yomg'ir yog'ishi mumkin. Mo''jizaviy momaqaldiroq yil davomida, kunduzning istalgan vaqtida yuz berishi mumkin, shuning uchun soyabonni har doim quyoshdan soya qilib yoki yomg'irdan himoya qilib olib yurish oqilona bo'ladi.

May va oktyabr oylari orasida qo'shni hududdagi o'rmon yong'inlari Sumatra zich tumanga olib kelishi mumkin, garchi bu oldindan aytib bo'lmaydigan bo'lsa va tezda keladi va ketadi: bilan tekshiring Atrof-muhit bo'yicha milliy agentlik dolzarb shartlar uchun.

Harorat o'rtacha:

• Dekabr va yanvar oylarida kunduzi 30 ° C (86 ° F), kechasi 24 ° C (76 ° F).
• Yilning qolgan qismida kunduzi 32 ° C (90 ° F), kechasi 25 ° C (81 ° F).

Singapurning eng past harorati 1934 yilda qayd etilgan 19,4 ° S edi.

Yuqori harorat va namlik, shamolning etishmasligi va kechasi havo harorati yuqori bo'lib turishi dunyoning sovuq joylaridan tashrif buyuruvchilarga zarar etkazishi mumkin. Shuni yodda tutingki, ochiq havoda bir soatdan ko'proq vaqt sarflash juda charchagan bo'lishi mumkin, ayniqsa, o'rtacha mashqlar bilan birgalikda. Singapurliklar o'zlari issiqdan qochishadi va bu yaxshi sababdir. Ko'pchilik konditsionerli kvartiralarda yashaydilar, konditsionerlarda ishlaydilar, konditsioner metrolarni bir-birlari bilan er osti tunnellari orqali bog'langan konditsioner savdo markazlariga olib boradilar, u erda ular xarid qilishadi, ovqatlanishadi va konditsioner fitness-klublarida mashq qilishadi, erta tongda va tunda tashqariga chiqish. Agar siz Singapurning issiq va namligidagi noqulayliklardan saqlanishni istasangiz, ulardan o'rnak oling.

O'lchov birliklari

Singapur aksariyat hollarda to'liq metrikatsiya qilingan, ammo Buyuk Britaniyaning imperatorlik tizimidagi ikkita mablag 'hali ham kvadrat metrda e'lon qilingan mulk o'lchamlari va dyuymlarda e'lon qilingan kiyim o'lchamlari o'lchovidir.

Siyosat

Singapur - bu Britaniya Vestminster tizimiga asoslangan parlament respublikasi, garchi ikki palatali Buyuk Britaniya parlamentidan farqli o'laroq, Singapur parlamenti 93 ta xalq tomonidan saylangan a'zolardan tashkil topgan bir palatali qonun chiqaruvchi va cheklangan ovoz berish huquqiga ega bo'lgan tayinlangan a'zolardir.

Prezident Singapur davlati rahbari bo'lib ishlaydi va har olti yilda bir marta saylanadi, ammo konstitutsiyada prezidentlikka nomzodlar hukumat vaziri yoki katta kompaniyada katta miqdordagi maosh uchun bosh direktor yoki direktorlar kengashi raisi sifatida ishlagan bo'lishi kerak. Prezidentlikka nomzod bo'lish huquqiga ega bo'lganlar sonini cheklab qo'ygan holda, saylovda qatnashishga ruxsat berishdan oldin vaqt. Amaldagi prezident - 2017 yil sentyabr oyida Singapurning birinchi ayol prezidenti sifatida qasamyod qilgan Halima binti Yakob. Prezidentning roli asosan tantanali bo'lib, hukumatda eng katta vakolatni bosh vazir egallagan.

Bosh vazir hukumat rahbari va odatda parlamentda eng ko'p o'ringa ega bo'lgan partiyaning etakchisidir. Amaldagi bosh vazir - Li Xien Long, Xalq harakati partiyasi (PAP) rahbari, mustaqillikdan beri boshqargan yagona partiya. Parlament saylovlari sharoitga qarab har besh yilda bir marta o'tkaziladi va muxolifat partiyalari tomonidan muntazam ravishda kurash olib boriladi. Matbuot nazorati va so'z erkinligini cheklashlar hukmron partiyani boshqarishda har qanday katta yutuqqa erishishning oldini olish omilidir. Shunga qaramay, Singapurdagi saylovlar umuman korruptsiya va saylovdagi qallobliklardan xoli. 2020 yilgi umumiy saylovlarga ko'ra parlamentda o'z vakolatiga ega bo'lgan yagona muxolifat partiyasi bu Ishchilar partiyasi (JP).

Shuningdek qarang: Xitoycha so'zlashuv kitobi, Malaycha so'zlashuv kitobi, Tamil tilidagi so'zlashuv kitobi, Ingliz tilidagi navlar

Malaycha "milliy til" sifatida konstitutsiyada mustahkamlangan bo'lishi mumkin, ammo amalda eng keng tarqalgan til ingliz tili bo'lib, deyarli har bir keksa bo'lmagan Singapur fuqarosi turli darajalarda ravon gapiradi. Biroq, o'ziga xos mahalliy patoilar Yagona ba'zida tushunish qiyin bo'lishi mumkin, chunki unda boshqa tillardan, shu jumladan turli xitoy lahjalari, malay va tamil tillaridan jarangli so'zlar va iboralar, shuningdek talaffuzi yoki ma'nosi o'zgartirilgan inglizcha so'zlar mavjud. Bundan tashqari, u asl ma'ruzachilar asosan xitoylar bo'lganligi sababli, jumla tuzilishining g'alati uslubiga ega, natijada singlizcha jumlalarning aksariyati xitoy grammatikasiga ega. Murakkab undosh klasterlar soddalashtiriladi, artikllar va ko'plik sonlar yo'qoladi, fe'l zamonlari ergash gaplar bilan almashtiriladi, savollar xitoy sintaksisiga mos ravishda o'zgartiriladi va ingliz tilidan tashqari zarralar (ayniqsa noma'lum "lah") paydo bo'ladi:

Mamlakat bo'ylab olib borilayotgan tilga oid targ'ibot kampaniyalari tufayli, aksariyat yosh singapurliklar, kerak bo'lganda hukumat "yaxshi ingliz" (ingliz) deb ataydigan narsalar bilan gaplashishga qodir. Bundan tashqari, ko'proq boy oiladan bo'lgan Singapurliklar Buyuk Britaniya yoki Qo'shma Shtatlardagi universitetda tahsil olishlari odatiy holdir. Tasodifiy huquqbuzarliklarga yo'l qo'ymaslik uchun, odatdagidek ingliz tilidan boshlanib, soddalashtirilgan pidjinga o'tish, agar boshqa odam sizga ergashishi mumkin emasligi aniq bo'lsa.

Singapurliklarning taxminan 35 foizi uyda ingliz tilida gaplashadi. Singapurning boshqa rasmiy tillari Mandarin xitoyi, Malaychava Tamilcha, asosan Singapur xitoylari, Malay va hind millatlari navbati bilan gaplashadi. Davlat idoralari qonun bo'yicha barcha xizmatlarni barcha to'rtta rasmiy tillarda taqdim etishi shart. Ingliz tili singari, Singapurda gaplashadigan Mandarin tili ham o'ziga xos kreole aylandi va ko'pincha boshqa xitoy shevalarida, malay va ingliz tillarida so'zlarni o'z ichiga oladi, ammo maktabda barcha singapurlik xitoyliklarga standart mandarin o'rgatiladi. Turli xitoy lahjalari (asosan Xokkienammo muhim raqamlar ham gapiradi Teochew va Kanton) bir xil lahjadagi guruhdagi keksa etnik xitoylar o'rtasida ham gaplashadi, ammo ulardan foydalanish deyarli yosh avlod orasida yo'q bo'lib ketgan; 1980 yildan keyin tug'ilganlarning aksariyati, agar ular buvalari va bobolari tarbiyasida bo'lsalar, ular bilan gaplasha olmaydilar. Kabi boshqa hind tillari Panjob sikxlar orasida ham gapirishadi.

Singapurda ishlatiladigan rasmiy xitoy yozuvlari materik Xitoyda ishlatiladigan soddalashtirilgan yozuv hisoblanadi. Shunday qilib, barcha rasmiy nashrlar (shu jumladan mahalliy gazetalar) va yozuvlar soddalashtirilgan xitoy tilida va maktablarda o'qitiladigan xitoycha soddalashtirilgan. Keksa avlodlarning ba'zilari hanuzgacha an'anaviy yozuvni afzal ko'rishadi va Gonkong va Tayvan pop madaniyatining mashhurligi shundan iboratki, yoshlar ham ular bilan tanishishi mumkin.

In Singapore, it is an offense even to have any drug metabolites in your system, even if they were consumed outside Singapore, and Customs occasionally does spot urine tests at the airport. In addition, bringing in explosives or firearms without a permit is also a capital offense in Singapore.

Bring prescriptions for any prescribed medicines you may have with you, and obtain prior permission dan Singapore Health Sciences Authority before bringing in any sedatives (e.g. Valium/diazepam) or strong painkillers (e.g. codeine ingredients). If you can scan and attach all required documents (called for by HSA) to an e-mail note, you mumkin receive written permission in as little as 10 days, certainly in 3–4 weeks. By regular mail from any great distance, allow a few months.

Hippie types may expect a little extra attention from Customs, but getting a shave and a haircut is no longer a condition for entry.

Duty free allowances for alcohol are one litre each of wine, beer and spirits, though the 1 L of spirits may be replaced with 1 L of wine or beer, unless you are entering from Malaysia. Travellers entering from Malaysia are not entitled to any duty free allowance. Alcohol may not be brought in by persons under the age of 18. There is yo'q duty free allowance for cigarettes: all cigarettes legally sold in Singapore are stamped "SDPC", and smokers caught with unmarked cigarettes may be fined $500 per pack. (In practice, though, bringing in one opened pack is usually tolerated.) If you declare your cigarettes or excess booze at customs, you can opt to pay the tax or let the customs officers keep the cigarettes until your departure. Importing non-medical chewing gum is illegal, but in practice customs officers would usually not bother with a few sticks for personal consumption.

There is no restriction on the amount of money that can be brought in or out of Singapore. However, Singapore customs requires you to declare if you are bringing in or out anything more than $20,000 or its equivalent in foreign currency, and you'll be asked to complete some paperwork. Not declaring exposes to you to arrest, heavy fines and possible imprisonment.

Pornography, pirated goods and publications by the Jehovah's Witnesses va Unification Church may not be imported to Singapore, and all baggage is scanned at land and sea entry points. In theory, all entertainment media including movies and video games must be sent to the Board of Censors for approval before they can be brought into Singapore, but that is rarely if ever enforced for original (non-pirated) goods.

Samolyotda

Singapore is one of Southeast Asia's largest aviation hubs, so unless you're coming from Malayziya yarim oroli yoki Batam/Bintan in Indonesia, the easiest way to enter Singapore is by air. In addition to its flag-carrier, Singapur havo yo'llari, which is widely regarded as one of the world's best airlines in terms of customer service, and its regional subsidiary SilkAir, Singapore is also home to low-cost carriers such as Jetstar Asia va Skuter. Singapore Airlines' flight to Nyuark (SQ22) is the longest non-stop commercial flight in the world, taking around 18 hours to cover a distance of 16,600 km (10,300 miles).

In addition to the locals, every carrier of any size in Asia offers flights to Singapore, with pan-Asian discount carrier AirAsia and Malaysian regional operator Firefly operating dense networks from Singapore. There are also direct services to Europe, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, North America, and even South Africa. Singapore is particularly popular on the "Kangaroo Route" between Australia and Europe, with airlines like Qantas va British Airways using Singapore as the main stopover point.

In addition to the local airports, travellers from Malaysia or Indonesia can consider flying into Johor Bahru (JHB ^IATA), Batam (BTH ^IATA) yoki Tanjung Pinang (TNJ ^IATA) instead, as flights to those airports are usually cheaper than to Changi or Seletar. The downside is that you'll have to pass through customs and immigration twice, and there are no direct transportation links between those airports and Singapore, meaning that you will have to arrange your own transportation.

Changi aeroporti

Asosiy maqola: Singapur Changi aeroporti

1.3573103.98851 Changi aeroporti (Gunoh ^IATA) is the main airport and serves all commercial jet flights. It regularly shows up in "Best Airport" rankings and is big, pleasant, and well-organised, with remarkably fast immigration and baggage distribution. The airport is split into four main terminals (T1, T2, T3 and T4).

Taxis are the fastest way to the city, and will cost about $20–30 including a $5 airport surcharge ($3 for off-peak hours). An additional 50% surcharge applies 1-6AM. You can refer to this site for additional information on taxi rates and charges. On the MRT, it takes about 45 minutes to town with an easy transfer at Tanah Merah. A standard ticket to City Hall costs $2.30 $0.10 non-refundable deposit, with trains running from 5:31AM to 11:18PM.

Seletar Airport

1.416944103.8677782 Seletar Airport (XSP ^IATA) serves all turboprop flights and general aviation. Completed in 1928 and first used for civil aviation in 1930, it was Singapore's first airport. The only airline serving Seletar is Malaysia's Firefly. The only practical means of access to Seletar is taxi, and trips from the airport incur a $3 surcharge.

The Causeway, with Johor Bahru on the other side

Singapore is linked by two land crossings to Peninsular Malaysia:

The 1.4526103.76913 Causeway is a very popular and thus terminally congested entry point connecting Woodlands in the north of Singapore directly into the heart of Johor Bahru. Busy at the best of times, the Causeway is particularly jam-packed on Friday evenings (towards Malaysia), Sunday evenings (towards Singapore) and around holiday periods. The Causeway can be crossed by bus, train, taxi or car, but it is no longer feasible to cross on foot after Malaysia shifted their customs and immigration complex 2 km inland.

A second crossing between Malaysia and Singapore, known as the 1.3545103.62814 Second Link, was built between Tuas in western Singapore and Iskandar Puteri in the western part of Johor davlat. Much faster and less congested than the Causeway, it is used by some of the luxury bus services to Kuala Lumpur and is strongly recommended if you have your own car. Bus services across are very limited, and only Malaysian "limousine" taxis are allowed to cross it (and charge RM150 and up for the privilege). Walking across is also not allowed, not that there would be any practical means to continue the journey from either end if you did.

Driving into Singapore with a foreign-registered car is rather complicated and expensive; see the Land Transport Authority's Driving Into & Out of Singapore guide for the administrative details. Peninsular Malaysia-registered cars need to show that they have valid road tax and Malaysian insurance coverage. Other foreign cars need a Vehicle Registration Certificate, Customs Document (Carnet), vehicle insurance purchased from a Singapore-based insurance company and an International Circulation Permit. All foreign registered cars and motorcycles can be driven in Singapore for a maximum of 10 days in each calendar year without paying Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) fees, but after the 10 free days have been used, you will need to pay a VEP fee of up to $20/day.

Go through immigration first and get your passport stamped. Then follow the Red Lane to buy the AutoPass ($10) from the LTA office. At the parking area, an LTA officer will verify your car, road tax and insurance cover note and issue you a small chit of paper which you take to the LTA counter to buy your AutoPass and rent an In-vehicle Unit (IU) for road pricing charges (or opt to pay a flat $5/day fee instead). Once that is done, proceed to customs where you will have to open the boot for inspection. After that, you are free to go anywhere in Singapore. Any VEP fees, road pricing charges and tolls will be deducted from your AutoPass when you exit Singapore. This is done by slotting the AutoPass into the reader at the immigration counter while you get your passport stamped.

Driving into Malaysia from Singapore is relatively uncomplicated, although small tolls are charged for both crossing and (for the Second Link) the adjoining expressway. Qo'shimcha, Singapore-registered vehicles are required to have their fuel tanks at least 3/4 full before leaving Singapore. Do be sure to change some ringgit before crossing, as Singapore dollars are accepted only at the unfavourable rate of one-to-one. Moreover, be prepared for longer queues as Malaysia introduced a biometric system for foreigners wishing to enter that country (see Malayziya maqola).

In both directions, rental car agencies will frequently prohibit their cars from crossing the border or charge extra.

Avtobusda

Direct from Malaysian destinationsAvtobuslar bor Kuala Lumpur (KL) and many other destinations in Malaysia through the Woodlands Checkpoint and the Second Link at Tuas. There is no central bus terminal and different companies leave from all over the city. Major operators include:

• Aerolin, ☏ 65 6258 8800. Luxury buses with meal on-board, power sockets, lounge area etc, to Kuala Lumpur and Jaya bilan petaling. Departures from HarbourFront Centre. From $47 one-way. 
• First Coach, ☏ 65 6822 2111. No frills, but the buses have good legroom and use the Second Link. Another selling point is convenient public transport: buses depart from Novena Square (Novena MRT) in Singapore and arrive right next to (KJ 16) Bangsar LRT in Kuala Lumpur. $33/55 single/return. 
• NiCE, ☏ 65 6256 5755. Over 20 daily departures from Kuala Lumpur's old railway station. Double-decker NiCE 2 buses (27 seats) RM80, luxury NiCE buses (18 seats) RM88. Departures from Copthorne Orchid Hotel on Dunearn Rd. 
• Transnasional, ☏ 60 2 6294 7034 (Malaysia). Malaysia's largest bus operator, offers direct buses from Singapore through the peninsula. Departures from Lavender St. Executive/economy buses RM80/35. 
• Transtar, ☏ 65 6299 9009. Transtar's sleeper-equipped Solitaire ($63) and leather-seated First Class ($49) coaches offer frills like massaging chairs, onboard attendants, video on demand and even Wi-Fi. More plebeian SuperVIP/Executive buses are $25/39, direct service to Malakka va Genting also available. Departures from Golden Mile Complex, Beach Rd (near Lavender MRT). 

Most other operators have banded together in three shared booking portals. Many, but by no means all, use the Golden Mile Complex shopping mall near Bugis as their Singapore terminal.

• redbus, ☏ 65 3158 2888, ✉[email protected]. redBus singapore includes many destinations bus tickets. 
• Easybook, ☏ 65 6444 0745. Six bus companies including major budget operator Konsortium. 
• Bus Online Ticket. Another six companies, including major operator Fivestars Express, Hasry Express and AirAsia-affiliated StarMart. 

In general, the more you pay, the faster and more comfortable your trip. More expensive buses leave on time, use the Second Link, and don't stop along the way; while the cheapest buses leave late if at all, use the perpetually jammed Causeway and make more stops. Book early for popular departure times like Friday and Sunday evening, Chinese New Year, etc., and factor in some extra time for congestion at the border.

An alternative to taking a direct "international bus" is to make the short hop to Johor Bahru to catch domestic Malaysian long-distance express buses to various Malaysian destinations from the Larkin Bus Terminal. Besides having more options, fares may also be lower because you will be paying in Malaysian ringgit rather than Singaporean dollars. The downside is the time-consuming hassle of first getting to Johor Bahru and then getting to Larkin terminal on the outskirts of town.

From Johor Bahru

The most popular options to get from Johor Bahru are the buses listed in the table. There's a pattern to the madness: Singaporean-operated buses (SBS, SMRT, SJE) can only stop at one destination in Malaysia, while the Malaysian-operated Causeway Link buses can only stop at one destination in Singapore. Terminals aside, all buses make two stops at Singapore immigration and at Malaysian immigration. At both immigration points, you must disembark with all your luggage and pass through passport control and customs, then board the next bus by showing your ticket. Figure on one hour for the whole rigmarole from end to end, more during rush hour.

To maximize train travel between Singapore downtown and Johor Bahru, while avoiding the inconvenient rail shuttle across the border, the simplest solution is to take the MRT train between downtown and Woodlands MRT, and the SMRT 950 bus between there and JB Sentral.

Poyezdda

Once the southern terminus of Malaysia's Keretapi Tanah Melayu (Malayan Railway or KTMB) network, the central Tanjong Pagar railway station has sadly been decommissioned and trains mostly terminate at the JB Sentral railway station in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. A shuttle service connects the only remaining Singaporean station in Woodlands, right next to the Causeway, with Johor Bahru Sentral. It's a 5-minute trip, but one-way tickets originating in Singapore will cost $5 while the reverse will cost RM5. From Woodlands, immigration formalities for both countries are carried out before boarding. From Johor Bahru, Malaysia immigration stamps you out before boarding, and Singapore immigration stamps you in upon arrival at Woodlands. Taking immigration clearance time into account, the journey from Johor Bahru to Woodlands takes 30-60 minutes, while the reverse direction takes about 30 minutes.

Shuttle trains will leave JB Sentral for Woodlands at 05:00, 05:25, 05:55, 06:20, 07:30, 08:40, 09:50, 11:20, 12:50, 14:20, 15:30, 16:40, 17:50, 19:00, 20:10, 21:20, 22:30 and leave Woodlands for JB Sentral at 07:20, 08:30, 09:40, 10:50, 12:20, 13:50, 15:20, 16:30, 17:40, 18:50, 20:00, 21:10, 22:20, 23:30. Gate opens 30 minutes before departure and closes 10 minutes before departure. On weekdays, the early morning departures from JB Sentral and evening departures from Woodlands cater to commuters working in Singapore, and sell out as soon as tickets are released for sale 30 days in advance. On weekends, morning departures from Woodlands and evening departures from JB Sentral are popular among day trippers to Johor Bahru, and sell out a few days before. If tickets are still available on the day of departure, they are sold up to 15 minutes before departure.

For JB Sentral-Woodlands, at JB Sentral there are turnstiles installed at the departure gate (Gate A); scan the barcode or QR code on your ticket (can be one stored on a mobile device) to activate the turnstile. For Woodlands-JB Sentral, tickets bought online must be exchanged at the KTMB ticket counter before departure.

For trains beyond Johor Bahru, see Johor Bahru#By train va Malaysia#By train tafsilotlar uchun.

In addition, Singapore is also the terminus for the Eastern & Oriental Express, a luxury train that makes the trip from Bangkok in four days. It is very expensive, costing US$6,358 one-way.

The Woodlands Train Checkpoint is unrelated to the Woodlands MRT station. From the Woodlands Train Checkpoint, you can take a bus to the Kranji, Marsiling or Woodlands MRT stations. Fortunately, the bus numbers to each MRT station are clearly signposted. To get to Woodlands Train Checkpoint from the MRT stations, however, you'll have to make sure the bus passes by "Woodlands Train Checkpoint", and not "Woodlands Checkpoint" which is the checkpoint facility for buses and other road vehicles without through access to the train checkpoint. Buses which pass by Woodlands Train Checkpoint include 170 (from Kranji MRT station), 856 (from Woodlands and Marsiling MRT stations), 903 and 911 (from Woodlands MRT station). Although 912 from Woodlands MRT station also passes by the train checkpoint, it does so by a very long route and therefore not recommended.

Johor-Singapore cross border taxi

While normal Singaporean taxis are not allowed to cross into Malaysia and vice versa, specially licensed Singaporean taxis permitted to go to Larkin bus terminal (only) can be booked from Johor Taxi Service ☏ 65 6296 7054, $45 one way), while Malaysian taxis, which can go anywhere in Malaysia, can be taken from the taxi terminal at Ban San St ($32 to charter, or $8/person if you share with others). In the reverse direction, towards Singapore, you can take Singaporean taxis from Larkin to any point in central Singapore ($30) or Changi Airport ($40), while Malaysian taxis can only bring you to Ban San St (RM80). The main advantage here is that you do not need to lug your stuff (or yourself) through Customs at both ends; you can just sit in the car.

A combination journey from anywhere in Singapore to anywhere in Malaysia can also be arranged, but you'll need to swap taxis halfway through: this will cost $50 and up, paid to the Singaporean driver. The most expensive option is to take a limousine taxi specially licensed to take passengers from any point to any destination, but only a few are available and they charge a steep RM150 per trip. Advance booking is highly recommended, ☏ 60 7 599-1622.

An all-inclusive 2-night cruise may cost as little as $400 per person in the cheapest cabin class if you book early, but there are many surcharges for services. Non-residents may be charged significantly higher rates.

Singapore is also a popular stop for round-the-world and major regional cruises including those originating from as far as Yaponiya, Xitoy, Avstraliya, Evropa va Shimoliy Amerika. Many of those cruises embark/disembark passengers here during all-day or over-night port visits, while others stop for perhaps just a day. Check with cruise companies and sellers for details. Ships use the same two terminals noted above for ferries.

Geographic map of MRT lines in the city centre

Getting around Singapore is easy: the public transportation system is extremely easy to use and taxis are reasonably priced - when you can get one. Very few visitors rent cars. CityMapper Singapore, Google Maps, and Apple Maps are all capable of figuring out the fastest route by MRT and bus and even estimating taxi fares between any two points.

Chiptalarni rasmiylashtirish

The easiest way to pay for all public transport is to use any contactless Visa or Mastercard, which you can use to tap on and off any trains and buses. Mobile phones with Android or Apple Pay NFC payments work too. Alternatively, pick up an EZ-link contactless RFID farecard at any train station or 7-Eleven store: the card costs $12, including $7 stored value, and the card can be "topped up" in increments of at least $10. If you are leaving Singapore and you have some money on your card, you can go to any TransitLink ticket office for a refund, minus a $5 processing fee.

You may see advertisements for the Singapore Tourist Pass, which gives you unlimited rides for $10/16/20 for 1/2/3 days respectively, plus some discounts for attractions. However, given that most trips only cost $1-2, you would need to use this an awful lot for it to pay off.

Single tickets can be purchased for both MRT and buses, but it's a hassle and, in the case of buses, it delays everyone else because the driver has to count fare stages to tell you how much you need to pay. In addition, no change is given for the bus and you will need to buy a separate ticket if you intend to transfer to another bus later in your journey.

MRT and LRT system map

The MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and LRT (Light Rail Transit) are trains that are the main trunk of Singapore's transit system. They are a cheap and fairly reliable mode of transportation, and the network covers most points of interest for the visitor. While it's easiest to use an EZ-link card or contactless payments (see above), all stations are equipped with ticket machines that dispense single-ride paper tickets. Each ticket can be reused up to 6 times within 30 days, just place it on the reader when buying your next ride.

Using any ticket or card is easy, just tap the reader at the ticket gate when entering and exiting paid areas of stations. All lines are seamlessly integrated, even if the lines are operated by different transport companies, so you do not need to buy a new ticket or go through multiple gates to transfer between different operators' lines.

The MRT stations are clean and equipped with free toilets. All stations have screen doors, so there is no risk of falling onto the tracks. The North-East Line, Circle Line, Downtown Line LRT and all upcoming lines are operated automatically without a driver, so it is worth walking up to the front of the train to look out of the window and enjoy the view!

Eating and drinking is taqiqlangan in the stations and trains, with offenders being liable for a $500 fine.

When using escalators, stand on the left to allow those in a hurry to pass on the right.

Avtobusda

SMRT bus

SBS Transit bus

Avtobuslar connect various corners of Singapore, but are slower and harder to use than the MRT. Their main advantage is you get to see the sights rather than a dark underground tunnel, partly if you can snag a front seat on a double-decker. On a long distance bus, frequent stops and slow speeds may mean your journey could take two to three times as long as the same trip via MRT. You can pay cash (coins) in buses, but the fare stage system is quite complex (it's easiest to ask the driver for the price to your destination), you are charged marginally more and there is no provision for getting change. Payment with EZ-Link or NETS Flashpay card is thus the easiest method: tap your card against the reader at the front entrance of the bus when boarding, and a maximum fare is deducted from the card. When you alight, tap your card again at the exit, and the difference is refunded. Make sure you tap out, or you'll end up paying the maximum fare. Inspectors occasionally prowl buses to check that everybody has paid or tapped, so those who are on tourist day passes should tap before sitting down. Dishonest bus commuters risk getting fined $20 for not paying or underpaying fares (by premature tapping-out) and $50 for improper use of concession cards. Another advantage of ez-link or Nets Flashpay cards is that you will be able to enjoy distance-based fares and avoid the boarding fee.

Yarim tundan keyin on Fridays, Saturdays and eve of public holidays, NightRider va Nite Owl bus services are a fairly convenient way of getting around, with 13 lines running every 20 to 30 mins. All services drive past the major nightlife city districts of Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, Mohamed Sultan and Orchard before splintering off. The fare is between $4.00 to $4.40, the EZ-link card and Nets Flashpay cards are accepted but the Singapore Tourist Pass is not valid on this line.

As mentioned earlier, Gothere.sg will give you options as to which buses will take you from your origin or destination.

Citycab Taxi

SilverCab Taxi

Taxicabs use meters and are reasonably priced and honest. Outside weekday peak hours, trips within the city centre should not cost you more than $10 and even a trip right across the island from Changi to Jurong will not break the $35 mark. If you are in a group of 3 or 4, it's sometimes cheaper and faster to take a taxi than the MRT. ComfortDelgro, the largest operator, has a booking app that lets you order and pay for your taxi rides Uber-style, including the option of a "ComfortRide" fixed price instead of running the meter, or you can call the unified booking system at ☏ 65 6-DIAL-CAB (3425-222). Hailing a taxi on the street or at a taxi stand lets you avoid the $2.30-3.30 booking fee though.

Taxi pricing is largely identical across all companies at $3.00-3.90 as a flag down rate (depending on the type of vehicle used), which lasts you 1 km before increments of $0.22 per 400 m (for the first 10 km) or $0.22 per 350 m (after the first 10 km). Watch out for surprises though: there are a myriad of peak hour (25%), late night (50%), central business district ($3), trips from airport or the casinos ($3–5 during peak hours), and Electronic Road Pricing surcharges, which may add a substantial amount to your taxi fare. All such charges are shown on the bottom right-hard corner of the meter, recorded in the printed receipt and explained in tedious detail in a sticker on the window; if you suspect the cabbie is trying to pull a fast one, call the company and ask for an explanation. There is no surcharge for trips ga aeroport. While all taxis are equipped to handle (and are required to accept) credit cards, in practice many cabbies do not accept electronic payment. Always ask before getting in. Paying by credit card will incur an additional surcharge of 17%. As usual in Singapore, tips are not expected.

In the Central Business District, taxis may pick up passengers only at taxi stands (found outside any shopping mall) or buildings with their own driveways (including virtually all hotels). Outside the centre, you're free to hail taxis on the street or call one to your doorstep. At night spots featuring long queues, such as Clarke Quay, you may on occasion be approached by touts offering a quick flat fare to your destination. This is illegal and very expensive but reasonably safe for you. (Drivers, on the other hand, will probably lose their job if caught.)

Some Singapore taxi drivers have very poor geographical knowledge and may expect you to know where they should go, so it may be helpful to bring a map of your destination area or directions on finding where you wish to go. Some cabbies may also ask you which route you want to take; most are satisfied with "whichever way is faster".

Ulanish ulushi

The largest ride share operator by far is Qatnash, which swallowed up Uber in 2018. Rides are reasonably priced and the "JustGrab" service lets you hail taxis too. Most international credit/debit cards are accepted on the app, and cash payments are also possible. Other ride sharing apps include Gojek, Rayd va Tada.

Trishaw tomonidan

Trishaws, three-wheeled bicycle taxis, haunt the area around the Singapore River and Chinatown. Geared purely for tourists, they should be avoided for serious travel as locals do not use them. There is little room for bargaining: short journeys cost $10–20 and an hour's sightseeing charter about $50 per person.

Bumboat

Tourist-oriented bumboats kruiz Singapur daryosi, offering point-to-point rides starting from $3 and cruises with nice views of the CBD skyscraper skyline starting from $13.

Bumboats also shuttle passengers from Changi Point Ferry Terminal ga Pulau Ubin ($2.50 one-way), a small island off Singapore's northeast coast which is about as close as Singapore gets to unhurried rural living. Ferries to the southern islands of Kusu Island and St John's Island depart from Marina Janubiy Pier.

Mashinada

Going to Kranji Expressway via the Pan Island Expressway? Turn right for "PIE (KJE)". Visiting the Nanyang Technological University or National Institute of Education? Go straight ahead.

Car rental is not a popular option for visitors to Singapore, as public transport covers virtually the entire island and it's generally cheaper to take taxis all day than to rent. You will usually be looking at upwards for $100 per day for the smallest vehicle from the major rental companies, although local ones can be cheaper and there are sometimes good weekend prices available. This does not include petrol at around $2/litre or electronic road pricing (ERP) fees, and you'll usually need to pay extra to drive to Malayziya. If planning on touring Malaysia by car, it makes much more sense to head across the border to Johor Bahru, where both rentals and petrol are half price, and you have the option of dropping your car off elsewhere in the country. This also avoids the unwelcome extra attention that Singapore licence plates tend to get from thieves and greedy cops.

Foreign licences in English or from other ASEAN member countries are valid in Singapore for up to a year from your date of entry, after which you will have to convert your foreign licence to a Singapore version. Other foreign licences must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official English translation (usually available from your embassy) to be valid.

Singaporeans drive on the left (like their Indonesian, Malaysian & Thai neighbours) and the legal driving age is 18. Roads in Singapore are in excellent condition and driving habits are generally good compared to other countries in the region, with most people following the traffic rules due to stringent enforcement, although road courtesy tends to be sorely lacking. The speed limit is 90 km/h (56 mph) on major expressways (with the exception of the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) being 80 km/h (50 mph) ) and typically 50 km/h (31 mph) on most medium-sized roads. While signs are usually good, expressways are almost universally referred to faqat by acronym, so the Pan Island Expressway is "PIE", the East Coast Parkway is "ECP", etc. Parking is tolerably easy to find but very rarely free, with rates varying depending on time, day of week, and location, from around $3/hour at private CBD carparks to $1/hour at public carparks, usually payable with the CashCard.

ERP payments require a stored-value CashCard, which is usually arranged by the rental agency, but it's your responsibility to ensure it has enough value. ERP gantries are activated at different times, usually in the expected direction of most cars. As a rule of thumb, gantries found in roads leading to the CBD are activated during the morning rush hour while gantries found in roads exiting the CBD are activated during the evening rush hour. Passing through an active ERP gantry with insufficient value will mean that an alert is sent to your registered address. You will need to pay an administrative fee in addition to the difference between the remaining amount and the actual charge. You have a limited time to settle this, or the penalty becomes harsher.

Hammasi passengers must wear seat belts and using a phone while driving is banned. Drink-driving is not tolerated: the maximum blood alcohol content is 0.08%, with roadblocks set up at night to catch offenders, who are heavily fined and possibly jailed. Even if your blood alcohol level does not exceed the legal limit, you can still be charged with drink driving if the police are convinced that your ability to control the vehicle has been compromised by the presence of alcohol (e.g., if you are involved in a collision). The police conduct periodic roadblocks and speed cameras are omnipresent. Fines will be sent by mail to you or your rental agency, who will then pass on the cost with a surcharge. If stopped for a traffic offence, don't even o'ylang about trying to bribe your way out.

Velosipedda

Using bicycles as a substitute for public transportation is possible, but challenging. While the city is small and its landscape is flat, it can be difficult to predict how ridable a route will be without scoping it out first. Buses, taxis, and motorists stopping to drop off or pick up passengers rarely check for cyclists before merging back onto the roadway, which makes certain routes especially treacherous. The ubiquitous road works around Singapore can also make cycling more hazardous when temporary road surfaces are not kept safe for biking, portable traffic barriers make it hard for vehicles to see cyclists, and construction teams directing traffic are unsure of how to deal with cyclists on the roadway.

Cycling paths are quite common in suburban areas (heartlands) but uncommon in the city center. They are marked either with a bicycle symbol or with "PCN" (Park Connector Network). The maximum speed limit for bicycles in cycling paths is 25 km/h; however, in several sections the cycling paths merge with pedestrian paths, reducing the max. soatiga 10 km tezlikda harakatlanish, bu nafaqat piyodalar uchun yo'llarda velosipedlar uchun maksimal tezlik. Shuningdek, piyodalar velosiped yo'llaridan foydalanishlari odatiy holdir, shuning uchun amalda ko'pincha velosiped yo'llarida ham tezlikni kamaytirish kerak bo'ladi. Velosiped yo'llarining dolzarb xaritasi va boshqa muhim velosiped marshrutlari, masalan, yo'lni kesib o'tish joylari bu Google Map. Velosiped to'xtash joylari, velosiped yo'llari kabi, shahar atrofidagi hududlarda, masalan, MRT stantsiyalari, jamoat uylari shtatlari, yirik savdo markazlari va shahar markazlarida osonlikcha topiladi, ammo shahar markazida bu odatiy hol emas.

Sport velosipediga mos keladigan yagona velosiped yo'li bu Tanah Merah Coast Road velosiped yo'lagi Changi aeroporti atrofida. Velosiped chizig'i yo'lda bo'lgani uchun, u 25 km / soat tezlik chegarasiga bo'ysunmaydi.

Kichkina buklanadigan velosipedlar kunning ma'lum bir vaqtlarida MRT-da olib ketilishi mumkin, ammo katta velosipedlar - yo'q. Velosipedlar Malayziyaga o'tish yo'lidan o'tishi mumkin (mototsikl yo'llarida), lekin tezyurar yo'llarda harakatlanish taqiqlanadi. Singapurda xususiy kompaniyalar tomonidan boshqariladigan velosiped almashish tizimiga asoslangan dastur mavjud SG velosiped eng katta o'yinchi.

Elektron skuter orqali

Shaxsiy mobil qurilmalar (PMD) sifatida mahalliy sifatida tanilgan elektron skuterlar Singapurda qonuniy hisoblanadi, ammo ular yo'llarda taqiqlangan Shuningdek, piyodalar uchun mo'ljallangan yo'llarda ham tutqichli skuterlar taqiqlanadi. Amalda bu shuni anglatadiki, ular faqat shahar atrofi hududlarida foydalanishlari mumkin va sayyohlar uchun amaliy imkoniyat emas.

Tropik ob-havoga qarshi kurashish uchun foydali maslahat - konditsionerlashtirilgan er osti piyodalar o'tish joylariga e'tibor berish. Ushbu iqlim nazorati ostida yuradigan yo'llar juda ko'p va ko'pincha savdo markazlari va ko'p qavatli ofis binolari orasida. Bundan tashqari, er osti MRT stantsiyalariga ulanadigan piyodalar o'tish joylariga e'tibor bering. Ba'zi stantsiyalar hududdagi turli xil kirish / chiqish joylariga ulanadigan 25 tagacha yo'lakka ega bo'lishi mumkin, bu esa shahar tagidagi shahar haqida taassurot qoldiradigan shahar markazidagi yadro atrofida keng yo'laklar tarmog'ini yaratadi.

The Garden Beats festivali Fort-konservatsiya bog'ida "elektron piknik festivali" deb nomlangan, ekologik toza g'oyalarni targ'ib qilishda va xalqaro miqyosdagi tadbirlarni olib boradigan "Singapurdagi birinchi uglerod neytral musiqa festivali" deb nomlangan tadbir.

Jaz musiqasi sevuvchilar ham qiziqishi mumkin Singapur xalqaro jaz festivali (odatda qisqartirilgan Jazzni kuylang), bu hozirgi kunga qadar taxminan mart-aprel oylarida bo'lib o'tdi va jazz qo'shinlari bilan bir qatorda musiqa ijrochilari qatorida musiqa ijrochilari ishtirok etdi.

Shundan so'ng, avgust oyida siz bir yillik ovlashingiz mumkin Singapur tungi festivali Bras Basah.Bugis tumani bo'ylab, bu erda ko'plab badiiy / musiqiy tadbirlar - ularning aksariyati bepul - ikki hafta davomida tunda bo'lib o'tadi (lekin dam olish kunlari jamlangan). Takrorlanadigan sarlavha hodisasi - bu proektsion xaritalash yorug'lik shousi bo'lib, unda animatsiya xaritada aks ettirilgan va Singapur Milliy muzeyi old qismida aks ettirilgan bo'lib, noyob displey yaratildi.

Qimor

Singapurda har doim evfemizm "yaxlit kurort" deb nomlanadigan ikkita katta kazino bor, ular Las-Vegasning butun qismi kabi deyarli daromad olishadi. Marina Bay Sands da Marina ko'rfazi ikkinchisining kattaroq va oqqushidir Jahon Sentosa kurortlari da Sentosa oilada do'stona tajriba o'tkazishga qaratilgan. Mahalliy aholi (fuqarolar va doimiy yashovchilar) kirish uchun kuniga $ 100 to'lashlari kerak bo'lsa, chet ellik mehmonlar pasportini ko'rsatgandan keyin bepul kirishlari mumkin.

Qimorxonadan tashqari, qonuniylashtirilgan garov tikishning boshqa turlari ham mavjud bo'lib, ular mahalliy aholi uchun qulayroqdir. Bunga quyidagilar kiradi ot poygasitomonidan boshqariladigan Singapur Turf klubi dam olish kunlari, shuningdek futbol (futbol) garovlari va bir nechta lotereyalar Singapur hovuzlari.

Mahjong shuningdek, Singapurda mashhur o'yin-kulgi. Singapurda ijro etilgan versiya kanton tilidagi versiyaga o'xshaydi, ammo unda kanton tilidagi asl nusxada mavjud bo'lmagan qo'shimcha "hayvon plitalari" hamda bir nechta skorlar farqlari mavjud. Biroq, bu deyarli oila va do'stlar ishi bo'lib qolmoqda va qimor o'ynash joylari noqonuniy bo'lgani uchun mahjong salonlari (qonuniy) mavjud emas.

Umumiy o'yin uylari to'g'risidagi qonun tomonidan taqiqlangani sababli jamoat joylarida qimor o'ynashdan saqlaning (masalan, parkda poker kartalari o'ynash).

Golf

Kichkina bo'lishiga qaramay, Singapurda golf maydonlari juda ko'p sonli hayratlanarli darajada, ammo eng yaxshi maydonlarning aksariyati xususiy klublar tomonidan boshqariladi va faqatgina a'zolari va ularning mehmonlari uchun ochiqdir. Asosiy istisnolar quyidagilardir Sentosa golf klubi, Barclays Singapore Open-ning taniqli qiyin uyi va Marina Bay golf maydonchasi, faqat 18 teshikli jamoat kursi. Ga qarang Singapur golf assotsiatsiyasi to'liq ro'yxat uchun; Shu bilan bir qatorda, yaqin Indoneziya orollariga boring Batam yoki Bintan yoki shimoldan Malayziyaning shaharchasigacha Malakka arzonroq turlar uchun.

Musobaqalar

Marina ko'rfazi atrofidagi yoritilgan "Formula-1" ko'cha aylanasi

Tantanali ochilish marosimi Singapur Formula-1 Gran-prisi 2008 yil sentyabr oyida tunda bo'lib o'tdi va tashkilotchilar tungi poyga 2021 yilga qadar davom etishini tasdiqladilar. Singapur yuragidagi ko'cha ko'chalarida o'tkazilib, tunda poyga qilishdi, ehtimol poyga muxlislari bundan mustasno. qochmoq Bu safar, chunki mehmonxonalar narxlari, ayniqsa F1 yo'llari ko'rinadigan xonalar tomidan o'tmoqda. Chipta narxi 150 dollardan boshlanadi, ammo tungi poyganing hayajonli tajribasi barcha F1 muxlislari va fotosuratsevarlari uchun unutilmas. Karnaval muhiti va poyga maydonining chetida o'tkazilgan estrada kontserti tungi poyga bilan bir qatorda burchakda joylashgan mehmonxona va restoranlarning qulayligi poygani shahar markazlaridan uzoqda joylashgan boshqa F1 poygalaridan ajratib turadi.

The Singapur Turf klubi yilda Kranji ko'pincha juma kunlari, shu qatorda bir qator xalqaro kuboklarda ot poygalarini o'tkazadi va mahalliy qimorbozlar orasida mashhurdir. The Singapur Polo klubi yaqin Balestier musobaqa kunlari ham jamoatchilikka ochiq.

Kurortlar

Singapur "kurort bum" ini boshdan kechirdi va hozirda yaxlit Ayurvedadan tortib, yashil choy gidroterapiyasiga qadar juda ko'p tanlov mavjud. Biroq, narxlar qo'shnilar Indoneziya va Tailanddagidek pastroq emas va siz odatda bir soatlik massaj uchun ham 50 dollar yuqoriga qarab turasiz. Premium kurortlarni ko'pchilik 5 yulduzli mehmonxonalarda va boshqalarda topish mumkin Bog 'va SentosaSpa Botanica ham yaxshi obro'ga ega. An'anaviy xitoy massajini taklif qiladigan ko'plab do'konlar mavjud, ular asosan qonuniydir, ammo ba'zi bir eskizlar "sog'liqni saqlash markazlari" saqlanib qolmoqda. An'anaviy Osiyo uslubidagi jamoat hammomlari mavjud emas.

Orchard Road-da go'zallik salonlarini qidirayotganda, Lucky Plazaning to'rtinchi qavatidagi salonlarni sinab ko'ring. Ular manikyur, pedikyur, yuz, mumi tozalash va sochlar kabi ko'plab salon xizmatlarini taklif qilishadi. Savdo kamaridagi boshqa salonlarning osmonga ko'tarilgan narxlari bilan taqqoslaganda arzonroq narxlar tufayli parvoz ekipajlari va takroriy sayyohlarning sevimli joyi. Do'konda narxlarni qidirib toping, ba'zilari yaxshi ko'rinadiganlar aslida kamroq haq olishadi.

Suzish

Agar raqobatbardosh yoki rekreatsion suzish bilan shug'ullanadigan bo'lsangiz, kichkina mehmonxonangizdagi hovuzni unuting: Singapur suzuvchilar uchun jannatdir. Ularning barchasi ochiq suv havzalari (ba'zi binolarda hatto uchta 50 metrgacha bo'lgan hovuzlar mavjud), kirish narxi 1-1,50 dollar. Ba'zi tashrif buyuruvchilar umuman suzmaydilar. Ular shunchaki yaqin atrofdagi uy-joy majmualaridan bir necha soat davomida sovish, o'qish va quyosh ostida dam olish uchun keladi. Ularning aksariyati har kuni soat 8.00 dan 21.00 gacha ishlaydi va barchasida kichik kafe mavjud. Hovuzni o'rab turgan xurmo daraxtlari bilan tropik kechada o'z yo'llaringizda suzishni tasavvur qiling.

Singapur sport kengashi o'z faoliyatini davom ettiradi hovuzlar ro'yxati, ularning aksariyati sport zali, tennis kortlari va boshqalar bilan jihozlangan katta sport majmuasining bir qismidir va MRT stantsiyasining yonida joylashgan. Ehtimol, eng yaxshisi Katongda (111 Wilkinson Road,) Sharqiy sohil): suzgandan so'ng, hovuzga kiraverishdagi villa mahallasi bo'ylab aylanib o'ting va chindan ham boy Singapurliklar yashaydigan uylarning hashamatli, o'ziga xos arxitekturasini ko'rib chiqing. Agar siz muntazam suzish havzalaridan zeriksangiz, Jurong Sharqiy suzish majmuasi bu erda siz to'lqinli hovuzni, suv slaydlarini va jakuzini ish kunlari $ 1.50 va dam olish kunlari $ 2 narxlarida aqldan ozgan narxlarda olasiz. O'zini boyroq his qilganlar uchun tashrif buyuring Yovvoyi yovvoyi ho'l suv parki yoki Adventure Cove Waterpark va turli xil hayajonli suv slaydlari va to'lqinli hovuzlar bilan o'zingizni namlang.

Hovuzlarni yoqtirmaydiganlar uchun plyajlarga boring. The Sharqiy sohil bog'i 15 km dan ziyod cho'zilgan manzarali qirg'oq chizig'iga ega. Bu singapurliklar uchun suzish, velosipedda sayr qilish, barbekyu qilish va boshqa turli xil sport va ko'ngilochar tadbirlar bilan shug'ullanish uchun mashhur joy. Sentosa oroli uchta uchta oq, qumli plyajga ega - Siloso Beach, Palawan Beach va Tanjong Beach - ularning har biri o'ziga xos xususiyatlarga ega, shuningdek, mahalliy aholi orasida juda mashhur.

Suv sporti turlari

Kanoeda eshkak eshish va ajdarho bilan suzish Singapurda ommabop suv sporti turidir va bunday jismoniy mashg'ulotlarda ishtirok etish mumkin bo'lgan ko'plab chiroyli suv havzalari va daryolar mavjud. MacRitchie suv ombori, Kallang daryosi va Marina ko'rfazida oqilona narxlarni ko'rib chiqing. Ushbu muntazam suv sportlaridan tashqari, Singapur suv sporti ixlosmandlariga maxsus yaratilgan muhitda ski-chang'i va to'lqinli sörf kabi zamonaviy mashg'ulotlarni taklif etadi.

Qor sport turlari

Tabiiyki, chang'i chang'isi uchun dunyodagi eng yaxshi joy bo'lmasa-da, quyoshli Singapur hanuzgacha yopiq qor markaziga ega. Qor shahar mehmonlarga qishni boshdan kechirish imkoniyatini taqdim etadi. Mehmonlar issiq va nam tropik ob-havodan qochib, qorda o'ynashlari yoki hatto sertifikatlangan professional o'qituvchilar bilan chang'i va snoubord bilan shug'ullanishni o'rganishlari mumkin.

Singapurda konkida uchish uchun bir nechta variant mavjud: Kallang muz olami da Dam olish bog'i Kallang va Rink JCube-da. Ilgari Marina Bay Sands-dagi Shoppes-da yana bir konkida uchish maydonchasi mavjud edi, ammo o'sha vaqtdan beri u qayta tiklandi.

Pul

Singapur pul birligi Singapur dollari, belgisi bilan belgilanadi S $ yoki $ (ISO kodi: SGD ). Belgilangan 100 sentga bo'linadi ¢. 5 ¢ (bronza yoki oltin), 10 ¢ (kumush), 20 ¢ (kumush), 50 ¢ (kumush) va 1 dollarlik tangalar mavjud (2-seriya: oltin; 3-seriya: oltin jantli kumush). Eslatmalar $ 2 (binafsha rang), $ 5 (yashil), $ 10 (qizil), $ 50 (ko'k), $ 100 (to'q sariq), $ 1000 (binafsha) va $ 10,000 (oltin) qiymatida. So'nggi ikkita nominal juda kam uchraydi va hashamatli butiklar, kazino va universal do'konlardan tashqarida foydasiz bo'ladi - sayohatchilar ulardan qochish uchun oqilona bo'ladi.

Ishonch bilan taxmin qilishingiz mumkinki, orolda ("ushbu qo'llanmada") ishlatiladigan "$" belgisi Singapur dollarlariga tegishli bo'lsa, unda boshqa bosh harflar (masalan, AQSh dollari uchun AQSh dollari) mavjud bo'lmasa.

The Bruney dollar Singapur dollari bilan teng ravishda bog'langan va ikki valyutani ikkala mamlakatda bir-birining o'rnida ishlatish mumkin, shuning uchun Bruney yozuvini o'zgarish sifatida qabul qilsangiz ajablanmang. Bruneydagi hamkasbi bilan bir qatorda, Singapurdagi 10 000 dollarlik banknot joriy muomaladagi har qanday banknotning eng katta ichki qiymatiga ega (2014 yil sentyabr oyida 7 840 AQSh dollar), ammo jinoiy faoliyatdan olingan daromadlarni legallashtirishni kamaytirish uchun u 2014 yildan beri chop etilmagan.

Valyuta ayirboshlash stendlarni har bir savdo markazida topish mumkin va odatda banklarga qaraganda yaxshiroq narxlar, yaxshi ish soatlari va tezroq xizmatlarni taklif etadi. Mustafoda 24 soatlik katta operatsiya Kichik Hindiston deyarli har qanday valyutani juda yaxshi narxlarda qabul qiladi, shuningdek, Raffles Place MRT yonidagi munosib nomlangan O'zgarish xiyobonidagi shiddatli raqobatbardosh kichik do'konlarda. Katta miqdordagi narxlarni taklif qiling, chunki bu sizga tez-tez taxtada ko'rsatilgandan ko'ra yaxshiroq narxni beradi. Aeroportdagi narxlar shahardagidek yaxshi emas va ko'plab universal do'konlarda asosiy xorijiy valyutalar qabul qilinsa-da, ularning narxi ko'pincha dahshatli.

Tovarlar va xizmatlarga soliq (GST)

Singapurdagi aksariyat chakana sotuvchilar va xizmat ko'rsatuvchi provayderlar 7% GST to'lashlari shart. Sotuvchilardan, odatda, mehmonxonalar va restoranlar (o'tirgan ovqatlanish) narxlaridan tashqari, e'lon qilingan narxga qo'shilishi talab qilinadi (qarang. Qarang) Tips va Uyqu bo'limlar).

Bank faoliyati

Singapur mintaqadagi eng yirik moliya markazlaridan biri, shuning uchun tanlab olish uchun ko'plab banklar mavjud. Qisman bank maxfiyligi to'g'risidagi qonunlar va Singapurda bank depozitlari bo'yicha foizlar soliqqa tortilmasligi sababli, Singapur banklari tobora ko'proq alternativa sifatida qaralmoqda Shveytsariya dunyodagi eng boy odamlarga o'z aktivlarini saqlash uchun banklar. Bank hisob raqamini ochish oddiy jarayon bo'lib, chet elliklarning Singapurda bank hisobvarag'iga egalik qilishiga cheklovlar qo'yilmaydi. Singapurdagi eng yirik mahalliy banklar United Overseas Bank (UOB), DBS banki va Xorijiy-xitoylik bank korporatsiyasi (OCBC banki). Singapurda yirik xorijiy banklar qatoriga kiradi HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank va Citibank.

Bankomatlar Singapurda hamma joyda tarqalgan va kredit kartalar keng tarqalgan. Chip-imzo standart (sizdan PIN-kod so'ralishi ehtimoldan yiroq emas) va kontaktsiz terminallar hamma joyda mavjud, shunchaki "Paywave" ni so'rang. Singapurda eng ko'p qabul qilingan kredit kartalar Visa va MasterCard bo'lib, ko'plab do'konlarda American Express ham qabul qilinadi. Discover, JCB va China UnionPay kartalari, shuningdek, asosan sayyohlarga xizmat ko'rsatadigan ba'zi do'konlarda qabul qilinadi. Singapurda kredit kartalari uchun qo'shimcha to'lovlarga yo'l qo'yilmasa-da, ko'plab savdogarlar ushbu naqd pulni naqd pul bilan to'lasangiz, ro'yxatdan o'tgan narxdan chegirmalar taqdim etish orqali ushbu qoidadan chetga chiqishadi. Sayohatchilarning tekshiruvlari odatda emas chakana sotuvchilar tomonidan qabul qilingan, ammo ko'pchilik almashinuv kassalarida va banklarda naqd bo'lishi mumkin. EZ-Link va NETS Flash Pay kartalari ba'zi do'konlarda va tezyurar ovqatlanish tarmoqlarida qabul qilinadi.

Ning chalkash ko'pligi bor mobil to'lovlar ilovalar. Ularning aksariyati faqat Singapurning mahalliy bank hisobvaraqlari egalariga taqdim etiladi Hozir to'lang peer-to-peer va biznes uchun to'lovlar, ayniqsa mashhur, ammo GrabPay mintaqaviy provayderi va xitoylik AliPay va WeChat Pay o'yinchilari ham keng tarqalgan.

Tips

Tipping odatda emas Singapurda mashq qilgan. Biroq, restoranlarda GST, mahalliy tovarlar va xizmatlar solig'idan oldin 10% xizmat haqi olinishi odatiy holdir. Restoranlarda ko'pincha 19,99 dollar kabi narxlar ko'rsatiladi, ya'ni xizmat haqi (10%) va savdo solig'i (7%) hisobga olinmaydi va sizning hisobingizga qo'shiladi. NETT-ni ko'rsangiz, bu barcha soliqlar va xizmat to'lovlarini o'z ichiga oladi degan ma'noni anglatadi.

Bellhops va mehmonxonalarning yuk ko'taruvchilari hali ham bitta sumka uchun $ 2 yoki undan ko'proq pul kutishadi. Odatda sizning o'zgarishingizni oxirgi 5 sentga qaytaradigan taksilarda yoki agar ular o'zgarishni qidirib topishga qiynalmasalar, narxni sizning foydangizga ushbu turga kamaytiradigan taksilarda kutish kutilmaydi; tirbandlik yoki elektron yo'l narxlari to'lovlari ko'pincha oxirgi tarifga kiritilgan. Mijoz noroziligini his qilsa, barcha taksilar qo'ng'iroq qilish uchun ishonch telefonini reklama qilishlari kerak. Aeroportda uchish taqiqlanadi.

Qil emas har qanday holatda ham har qanday davlat xodimiga, xususan politsiya xodimlariga maslahat bering, chunki bu pora sifatida qabul qilinadi va sizni qamoqqa olish va jinoiy javobgarlikka tortish ehtimoli katta.

Xarajatlar

Singapur Janubi-Sharqiy Osiyo standartlariga ko'ra qimmat, ammo OECD mamlakatlari bilan taqqoslaganda arzon: agar siz ba'zi burchaklarni kesib tashlamoqchi bo'lsangiz, 50 dollar mukammal xizmat ko'rsatadigan kundalik ryukkak byudjetdir, lekin ehtimol siz buni qulaylik uchun ikki baravar oshirishni xohlaysiz. Xususan, oziq-ovqat - bu o'g'irlash, saxiy xizmat uchun har bir taom uchun 5 dollardan kam bo'lmagan ajoyib sotuvchi ovqat. Turar joy biroz qimmatroq, ammo yotoqxonadagi yotoq narxi 30 dollardan kam bo'lishi mumkin va arzon mehmonxona xonasi 100 dollardan past bo'lishi mumkin, markali biznes mehmonxonalar esa 200-400 dollar oralig'ida bo'ladi. Bozorning eng yuqori qismida, ehtimol siz kechasi 500 dollardan ko'proq pulni tomosha qilyapsiz, Raffles va Capella kabi joylar ko'pincha 1000 dollarni bosishadi.

Oddiy qoidalarga ko'ra, Singapurda narxlar Malayziya va Tailandnikidan ikki baravar, Indoneziya va Filippindagidan 3-5 baravar yuqori.

Xarid qilish

Sim Lim maydoni, Singapurning hisoblash va elektronika makkasi

Xarid qilish milliy o'yin-kulgi sifatida ovqatlanishdan keyin ikkinchi o'rinda turadi, ya'ni Singapurda an mo'llik savdo markazlarining pastligi va import uchun past soliqlar va tariflar ulkan hajm bilan birgalikda narxlar odatda juda raqobatbardoshligini anglatadi. Mahalliy hunarmandchilikni arzonligi bilan biron bir bozorni topmasangiz ham (aslida Singapurda sotiladigan barcha narsalar boshqa joylarda ishlab chiqarilgan), tovarlarning sifati odatda sifatli va iste'molchilar huquqlarini himoya qilish to'g'risidagi kuchli qonunlar tufayli do'konlar odatda halol. Aksariyat do'konlar har kuni 10.00 dan 22.00 gacha ishlaydi, ammo kichikroq operatsiyalar (ayniqsa, savdo markazlari tashqarisida) ertaroq yopiladi - 19.00 da keng tarqalgan - va yakshanba kunlari ham. Mustafo in Kichik Hindiston kuniga 365 kun, 24 soat ishlaydi. Orchard Road va Scotts Road savdo kamarlaridagi ko'plab do'konlar hozirda har oyning so'nggi juma kuni tunda kechqurun xarid qilishni taklif qilishadi, 250 dan ortiq chakana savdo korxonalari yarim tungacha ishlaydi.

• Antiqiy buyumlar: Tanglin savdo markazining ikkinchi qavati Bog ' va South Bridge Rd-dagi do'konlar Chinatown haqiqiy narsani (yoki yuqori sifatli reproduktsiyalarni) qidirsangiz yaxshi imkoniyatlar.
• Kitoblar: Kinokuniyaning Ngee Ann Siti shahridagi asosiy filiali Bog ' bu Bugis Junction (Bugis MRT stantsiyasining yuqorisidagi savdo majmuasi) va JEM (Jurong East MRT stantsiyasi yaqinidagi savdo majmuasi) da kichikroq filiallari bo'lgan Singapurning eng yirik do'konidir. Ko'p sonli ikkinchi darajali kitob do'konlari Far East Plaza va Bras Basah majmualarida joylashgan bo'lib, u erda siz juda ko'p narsa sotib olsangiz, savdolashishga urinib ko'rishingiz mumkin. Universitet darsliklari uchun Singapur Milliy Universitetidagi do'konlarda G'arbdagi narxlarga nisbatan orolda eng yaxshi narxlar - 80% gacha.
• Kameralar: Peninsula Plaza yaqinida hokimiyat Singapurda kameralar do'konlarining eng keng tanloviga ega. Ammo, bu erda juda katta savdolashishlar mavjud emas va Singapurdagi ko'plab kameralar do'konlari (ayniqsa, Lucky Plaza va Sim Lim maydonidagi do'konlar) hatto eng ehtiyotkor sayyohlarni qochib qutulish obro'siga ega. Eng yaxshi usul - bilish aniq nima qidirayotganingizni, keyin etib kelganingizda aeroportning tranzit hududidagi do'konlarning yoniga tushing va narxini ko'rib chiqing va ular bilan reklama aktsiyalarining mavjudligini tekshiring. Keyin shahar markazidagi do'konlarga boring va narxlar / paketlarni taqqoslang, qaysi do'kon sizga pul qiymatini berishini bilib oling. Xavfsiz bo'lish uchun, har doim birinchi navbatda Courts, Harvey Norman va Best Denki kabi yirik chakana savdo do'konlarida siz qiziqqan har bir narsa uchun narxlar va paketlarni tekshiring. Do'kon xodimlari siz o'ylaganingizdan boshqa brendlar yoki modellarni ommalashtirishga urinayotganda juda ehtiyot bo'ling; Sim Lim maydonidagi, Lucky Plazadagi va boshqa joylardagi bir nechta do'konlar ushbu taktikadan foydalanganliklari va mahsulotlarni real ro'yxat narxlaridan ikki-to'rt baravar ko'p sotganliklari ma'lum. Shuningdek, o'lja va kalitlarga e'tibor bering. Ob'ektning namunaviy raqamini va holatini tekshirib ko'ring, keyin to'layotganingizda uni sizning ko'zingizdan chetda qoldirmang. (Lucky Plazada eng keng tarqalgan firibgarlik sizning kelishuvisiz ayblovni ikki baravar oshirishdir.)
• Kiyim, katta ko'cha: Marina Bay Sandsdagi do'konlar, shuningdek Ion, Ngee Ann City (Takashimaya) va Paragon Bog ' markali butiklarning eng og'ir konsentratsiyasiga ega.
• Tikilgan kiyim: Deyarli barcha mehmonxonalarda tikuvchilik do'koni biriktirilgan va tikuvchilik xizmatlari Chinatownda biroz noqulaylik tug'diradi. Boshqa joylarda bo'lgani kabi, siz ham to'lagan narsangizga ega bo'lasiz va sifatsiz bo'lasiz, agar siz bir nechta armatura uchun vaqt topolmasangiz yoki olganingizni tekshirish qobiliyatiga ega bo'lmasangiz. Narxlar bir-biridan juda farq qiladi: arzon matolardan foydalangan holda mahalliy do'kon 40 dollarga ko'ylak tikishi mumkin, Li Kuan Yu esa eng sevimli tikuvchilar Maxsus do'konni CYC Raffles mehmonxonasida kamida 120 dollar turadi.
• Kiyim, yoshlar: Ko'pchilik Bugis yosh, kestirib, xarajatlarni hisobga olgan holda bag'ishlangan. Bugis St (Bugis MRT qarshisida) Bugis hududida eng mashhur bo'lib, 3 darajali do'konlardan iborat. Ning ba'zi joylari Bog ', xususan, Uzoq Sharq Plazasi (Uzoq Sharq Savdo Markazi bilan adashtirmaslik kerak) va Heerenning yuqori qavati ham xuddi shu bozorga qaratilgan, ammo narxlar odatda yuqori.
• Kompyuterlar: Sim Lim maydoni (Kichik Hindiston yaqinida) qattiqqo'l geek uchun juda yaxshi, u nima qilishini yaxshi biladi - uning narxlari ro'yxati HardwareZone.com saytida mavjud va Sim Lim-ning o'zida berilgan, narxlarni taqqoslash oson. Kichik o'limlilar (ya'ni, uy vazifalarini bajara olmaganlar), sotib olish paytida yirtilib ketish xavfi bor, lekin odatda bu ko'pchilik do'konlarning narxlari ro'yxatida muammo emas. Ba'zi bir singapurliklar o'zlarining elektron asboblarini, odatda, Suntec City Convention Center-da yoki Expo ko'rgazmasida o'tkaziladigan har chorakda o'tkaziladigan "IT-shoular" davomida sotib olishadi, bunda gadjetlar narxi ba'zan pasaytiriladi (lekin ko'pincha faqat Sim Lim darajasida). Yana bir imkoniyat - xarid qilish Funan IT Mall savdo markazi, do'konlari o'rtacha (ba'zilarga ko'ra) o'rtacha bo'lishi mumkin. Yon sovg'alar / bosh barmoqlar, sichqonlar va boshqalarni tatlandırıcılar sizni jalb qilmang; bu faqat oshirilgan narxlarni yashirishga moyildir.
• Maishiy elektronika: Singapur ilgari yaxshi narxlar bilan tanilgan edi, ammo hozirgi kunda bu erda elektronika odatda AQSh va xalqaro onlayn-sotuvchilardan qimmatroq. Funan IT Mall (Riverside # Buy | Riverside) va Mustafa (Kichik Hindiston) yaxshi tanlovdir. Qoching Orchard Road-da joylashgan sayyohlik yo'naltirilgan do'konlar, xususan taniqli Lucky Plaza yoki olib tashlanish xavfi. Shuningdek, juda ehtiyot bo'ling ning 1 va 2 darajalaridagi do'konlardan saqlaning Sim Lim maydoni, ulardan ba'zilari sayyohlarni va mahalliy aholini 100% va undan ortiq miqdorda ortiqcha zaryadlash, kelishilgan narxdan tashqari kulgili ayblovlar evaziga qo'shish, buyumlarni ishlatilgan narsalarga almashtirish, kassa va batareyalarni qoldirib, boshqa ko'plab amaliyotlarni olib tashlashga moyil. jinoyatchi (yoki).

For eating out, most shopping centres offer a range of small snack stands and eateries in their basements, as well as a food court or two.
• Games: Video and PC games are widely available in Singapore, but prices may not be cheaper than in the West. Games sold for the local market are generally in English, though some games imported from Hong Kong or Taiwan will be in Chinese. Singapore's region code is NTSC-J (together with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc.), which means that games sold may not be compatible with consoles in mainland China, North America, Europe or Australia. During the four times in a year IT Shows, PC, Xbox, Wii, PlayStation games prices may drop at such IT shows, if not the games will be bundled with others (example: buy 2 at $49.90). Search for reputable shops online and avoid Sim Lim Square's first two floors, as always.
• Hi-fi stereos: The Adelphi (Daryo bo'yida) has Singapore's best selection of audiophile shops.
• Marine sports: Many of the shophouses opposite The Concourse on Beach Rd in Bugis sell fishing and scuba diving gear.
• Mobile phones: Very competitively priced in Singapore due to high consumer volume, available throughout the country both used and new. Phones are never SIM locked, so they can be used anywhere, and many shops will allow you to "trade in" an older phone to offset the cost of a new one. Do not purchase phones at Lucky Plaza, because there's a significant risk you'll be almost literally robbed, if tourist reports are anything to go by.

Pretty in pink - Peranakan tea set with dragon-phoenix motif

• Peranakan goods: The Peranakan, or Malay-Chinese, may be fading but their colourful clothing and artwork, especially the distinctive pastel-coloured ceramics, are still widely available. Antiques are expensive, but modern replicas are quite affordable. The largest selection and best prices can be found in Katong on the East Coast.
• Sporting goods: Queensway Shopping Centre, off Alexandra Rd and rather off the beaten track (take a taxi), seems to consist of nothing but sporting goods shops. You can also find foreigner-sized sporty clothing and shoes here. Do bargain! Expect to get 40-50% off the price from the shops in Orchard for the same items. Velocity in Novena is also devoted to sports goods, but is rather more upmarket. Martial arts equipment is surprisingly hard to find, although most of the clothing shops around Pagoda Street in Chinatown sell basic silk taiji/wushu uniforms. If you plan to buy weapons such as swords, you have to apply for a permit from the police (around $10) to get your weaponry out of the country.
• Choy: Chinatown's Yue Hwa (2nd floor) is unbeatable for both price and variety, but Time for Tea in Lucky Plaza (Bog ') is also a good option. English tea is also widely available around Orchard Road. For those who are looking for high-end luxury tea blends, local brand TWG has branches throughout the island to cater to this market.
• Watches: High-end watches are very competitively priced. Ngee Ann City (Bog ') has dedicated stores from the likes of Piaget and Cartier, while Millenia Walk (Marina ko'rfazi) features the Cortina Watch Espace retailing 30 brands from Audemars Piguet to Patek Philippe, as well as several other standalone shops.

For purchases of over $100 per day per participating shop, you may be able to get a refund of your 7% GST if departing by air, but the process is a bit of a bureaucratic hassle. At the shop you need to ask for a tax refund cheque. Before checking in at the airport, present this cheque together with the items purchased and your passport at the GST customs counter. Get the receipt stamped there. Then proceed with check-in and go through security. After clearing departure immigration, bring the stamped cheque to the refund counter to cash it in or get the GST back on your credit card. Qarang Singapore Customs for the full scoop. Yo'q GST refund is available if you depart by land or sea.

During the annual Buyuk Singapur sotuvi (GSS), which is usually scheduled from late June to July, many shops reduce prices 50-80% or more. This means that locals go crazy as most of them save up for a whole year just for the sale, and so almost all shopping centres, especially those in the vicinity of Orchard Road, become very crowded on weekends. If you prefer not to shop in crowded malls, it is advisable to take advantage of the sales on weekdays when most locals are at work.

Yodgorlik

Even with her young age, Singapore has a wide range of souvenirs available for tourists due to the rich multi-cultural history. While you can find Merlion Keychains, Chocolates, T-shirts & Postcards around Chinatown & Kichik Hindiston, there are plenty of unique souvenirs that are homegrown labels & represent Singapore.

Fashion label Charles & Keith (started out as Shoe Heaven), has got you covered if you're looking for a pair of perfect shoes & has evolved into handbags & accessories. Grab the mini Singapore sling cocktail set at Raffles mehmonxonasi va Changi aeroporti for the true heritage flavour. With their luxurious gold plating technology, RISIS provides beautiful gifts like gold-plated Orchids and brooches.

One of the popular snack souvenirs - Bak Kwa from Bee Cheng Hiang (Smoked Barbecue Pork) is a well-loved snack by Chinese tourists, though most locals prefer the version from Lim Chee Guan, which has extremely long queues lasting several hours over the Chinese New Year period. Kaya is a savoury coconut milk, eggs, and sugar, usually spread on toast where locals consume for their breakfast. Depending on the brand, it can taste rich & sweet to having a light pandan flavour. Ya Kun Kaya is readily available in their nationwide outlets and Changi aeroporti.

A must-get, Chilli crab & Laksa sauce kits from Prima Taste are also saliva-inducing souvenirs available to purchase at supermarkets. These are Halal.

Bak Kut Teh (literally translated as Meat Bone Tea) Spices are also a fine choice to bring back a taste of Singapore, and one can choose from ranges like A1 Bak Kut Teh to celebrity-favourite Outram Park Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh. Speaking about Tea, Singapore also has her own luxury tea collection from TWG which offers an impressive selection of over 800 teas, specially harvested from all around the world.

Local Designers like SUPERMAMA have also came up with Singaporean omiyage (contemporary giftware) ranging from porcelain tableware to quirky socks. Most of these souvenirs can be found in their own store outlets, Changi Airport or Singapore Souvenir curator - SG Style, who does same-day delivery to your hotel.

Independent bookstore Booksactually in Tiong Bahru has an in-house publishing arm Math Paper Press that publishes works by local authors. Cat Socrates is another quirky bookstore that sells Singaporean literature as well as postcards, stationery and trinkets with Singaporean motifs made by local artists.

Asosiy maqola: Cuisine of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei

Singapore is a melting pot of cuisines from around the world, and many Singaporeans are obsessive gourmands who love to makan ("eat" in Malay). You will find quality Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Italian, French, American and other food in this city-state.

Eating habits run the gamut, but most foods are eaten by fork and spoon: push and cut with the fork in the left hand, and eat with the spoon in the right. Noodles and Chinese dishes typically come with chopsticks, while Malay and Indian food can be eaten by hand, but nobody will blink an eye if you ask for a fork and spoon instead. If eating by hand, always use your right hand to pick your food, as Malays and Indians traditionally use their left hand to handle dirty things. Take note of the usual traditional Chinese etiquette when using chopsticks, and most importantly, bunday qilma stick your chopsticks vertically into a bowl of rice. If eating in a group, serving dishes are always shared, but you'll get your own bowl of rice and soup. It's common to use your own chopsticks to pick up food from communal plates, but serving spoons can be provided on request. When eating at Western restaurants, traditional Evropa dining etiquette generally applies.

Keep an eye out for the Singapur oziq-ovqat festivali, held every year in July.

Mahalliy nozikliklar

Singapore is justly famous for its food, a unique mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Western elements. The following is only a brief sampler of the most popular dishes.

• 

  A plate of chilli crab

• 

  Laksa, with chilli paste and chopped laksa leaf in a spoon

• 

  Satay with peanut sauce, onions and cucumber

• 

  An "ice cream burger", durian ice cream wrapped in bread

Peranakan/Nonya cuisine

The most identifiable cuisine in the region is Peranakan yoki Nonya cuisine, born from the mixed Malay and Chinese communities of what were once the British colonies of the Straits Settlements (modern-day Singapore, Penang va Malakka).

• Chilli crab is a whole crab ladled with oodles of sticky, tangy chilli sauce. It's spicy at first, but the more you eat, the better it gets. Notoriously difficult to eat, so don't wear a white shirt: just dig in with your hands and ignore the mess. The seafood restaurants of the Sharqiy sohil are famous for this. For a less messy but equally tasty alternative, ask for black pepper crab.
• Kaya is a jam-like spread made from egg and coconut, an odd-sounding but tasty combination. Served on toast for breakfast, canonically accompanied by runny eggs and strong, sweet coffee (kopi). Exists in two distinctive styles; the greenish Nonya version, coloured with pandan leaf, and the brownish Hainanese version.
• Laksa, in particular the Katong laksa yoki laksa lemak style, is probably the best-known Singaporean dish: white noodles in a creamy, immensely rich coconut-based curry broth, topped with cockles or shrimp. The common style found in hawker centres is very spicy, although you can ask for less/no chilli to dial down the heat. The Katong style is much less spicy and is generally found only in Katong itself (see the Sharqiy sohil page). Despite sharing the same name, the dish bears almost no resemblance to the varieties found in neighbouring Malaysia.
• Mee siam is rice flour noodles served in a sweet-sour soup (made from tamarind, dried shrimp and fermented beans), bean curd cubes, and hard boiled eggs. Though the Chinese, Malays and Indians all have their own versions, it is the Peranakan version that is most popular with Singaporeans. You will largely find this at Malay stalls.
• Popiah (薄饼), or spring rolls, come fresh or fried. They consist of a filling of boiled turnip, fried tofu, pork, shrimp with a slew of condiments, wrapped in a thin crepe smeared with sweet dark soy sauce and eaten like a fajita. They are related to the lumpia va runbing of other Chinese communities in Asia.
• Rojak means a mixture of everything in Malay, and there are two very different types. Xitoy rojak is a salad of pineapple, white turnip, cucumber, tau pok (fried bean curd) with thin tiny slices of bunga kantan (torch ginger flower buds), tossed in shrimp paste sauce and sugar, then sprinkled with crushed peanuts. Hind rojak consists of mainly fried fritters made from flour and various pulses with cucumber and tofu, with sweet & spicy sauces.
• Muzqaymoq is just as it is in Western countries. However, in Singapore, there are various local flavours such as durian and red bean which are not available outside the region and are certainly worth a try. To impress the locals, try asking for ice cream in roti (bread).

Besides these dishes, the Peranakans are also known for their kueh or snacks, which are somewhat different from the Malay versions due to stronger Chinese influences.

Malay oshxonasi

Nasi lemak bilan sambal ikan bilis (curried dry anchovies), cucumber, chicken curry and an egg

The Malays were Singapore's original inhabitants and despite now being outnumbered by the Chinese, their distinctive cuisine is popular to this day. Characterised by heavy use of spices, most Malay dishes are curries, stews or dips of one kind or another and nasi padang restaurants, offering a wide variety of these to ladle onto your rice, are very popular.

• Mee rebus is a dish of egg noodles with spicy, slightly sweet gravy, a slice of hard boiled egg and lime.
• Mee soto is Malay-style chicken soup, with a clear broth, shredded chicken breast and egg noodles.
• Nasi lemak is the definitive Malay breakfast, consisting at its simplest of rice cooked in light coconut milk, some ikan bilis (anchovies), peanuts, a slice of cucumber and a dab of chilli on the side. A larger ikan kuning (fried fish) or chicken wing are common accompaniments. More often than not, also combined with a variety of curries and/or sambal
• Otah/Otak is a type of fish cake made of minced fish (usually mackerel), coconut milk, chilli and various other spices, and grilled in a banana or coconut leaf, usually served to accompany other dishes like nasi lemak.
• Rendang, originally from Indonesia and occasionally dubbed "dry curry", is meat stewed for hours on end in a spicy (but rarely fiery) coconut-based curry paste until almost all water is absorbed. Beef rendang is the most common, although chicken and mutton are spotted sometimes.
• Sambal is the generic term for chilli sauces of many kinds. Sambal belacan is a common condiment made by mixing chilli with the shrimp paste belacan, while the popular dish sambal sotong consists of squid (sotong) cooked in red chilli sauce.
• Satay are barbecued skewers of meat, typically chicken, mutton or beef. What separates satay from your ordinary kebab are the spices used to season the meat and the slightly spicy peanut-based dipping sauce. The Satay Club da Lau Pa Sat near Raffles Place is one popular location for this delicacy.

Malay desserts, especially the sweet pastries and jellies (kuih yoki kueh) made largely from coconut and palm sugar (gula melaka), bear a distinct resemblance to those of Tailand. But in the sweltering tropical heat, try one of many concoctions made with ice instead:

• Bubur cha-cha consists of cubed yam, sweet potato and sago added into coconut milk soup. This can be served warm or cold.
• Chendol is made with green pea noodles, kidney beans, palm sugar and coconut milk.
• Durian is not exactly a dish, but a local fruit with distinctive odor you can smell a mile away and a sharp thorny husk. Both smell and taste defy description, but eating garlic ice cream next to an open sewer comes to mind. If you are game enough you should try it, but be warned beforehand — you will either love it or hate it. The rich creamy yellow flesh is often sold in places like Geylang and Bugis and elsewhere conveniently in pre-packaged packs, for anywhere from $1 for a small fruit all the way up to $18/kg depending on the season and type of durian. This 'king of fruits' is also made into ice cream, cakes, sweets, puddings and other decadent desserts. You're not allowed to carry durians on the MRT and buses and they're banned from many hotels.
• Ice kachang literally means "ice bean" in Malay, a good clue to the two major ingredients: shaved ice and sweet red beans. However, more often than not you'll also get gula melaka (palm sugar), grass jelly, sweet corn, attap palm seeds and anything else on hand thrown in, and the whole thing is then drizzled with canned evaporated milk or coconut cream and coloured syrups. The end result tastes very interesting — and refreshing.
• Kuih (yoki kueh) refer to a plethora of steamed or baked "cakes", mostly made with coconut milk, grated coconut flesh, glutinous rice or tapioca. They are often very colourful and cut into fanciful shapes, but despite their wildly varying appearance tend to taste rather similar.
• Pisang goreng is a batter-dipped and deep-fried banana.

Xitoy oshxonasi

• 

  Bak kut teh with rice and sen tiao fritters

• 

  Hainanese chicken rice

• 

  Fried hokkien mee

• 

  Prawn mee and pork rib soup

Chinese food as eaten in Singapore commonly originates from southern Xitoy, ayniqsa Fujian, Guandun va Xaynan. While "authentic" fare is certainly available, especially in fancier restaurants, the daily fare served in hawker centres has absorbed a number of tropical touches, most notably the fairly heavy use of chilli and the Malay fermented shrimp paste belacan as condiments. Noodles can also be served not just in soup (湯 tang), but also "dry" (干 gan), meaning that your noodles will be served tossed with chilli and spices in one bowl, and the soup will come in a separate bowl.

• Bak chor mee (肉脞面) is essentially noodles with minced pork, tossed in a chilli-based sauce with lard, ikan bilis (fried anchovies), vegetables and mushrooms. Black vinegar may also be added.
• Bak kut teh (肉骨茶), lit. "pork bone tea", is a simple-sounding soup of pork ribs simmered for hours in broth until they're ready to fall off the bone. Singaporeans prefer the light and peppery Teochew style ("white"), but a few shops offer the original dark and aromatic Fujian kind ("black"). Bak kut teh is typically eaten with white rice, mui choy (pickled vegetables) and a pot of strong Chinese tea, hence the name — the broth itself doesn't contain any tea. To impress the locals, order some sen tiao fritters from a nearby stall and cut them up into bite-sized chunks to dip into your soup.
• Char kway teow (炒粿条) is the quintessential Singapore-style fried noodle dish, consisting of several types of noodles in thick brown sauce with strips of fishcake, Chinese sausage, a token veggie or two and either cockles and shrimp. It's cheap ($2–3/serve), filling and has nothing to do with the dish known as "Singapore fried noodles" elsewhere. (And which actually doesn't exist in Singapore.)
• Chee cheong fun (豬腸粉) is a favourite breakfast consisting of lasagna-type rice noodles rolled up and various types of fried meats including fishballs and fried tofu. The dish is usually topped with a generous amount of sauce.
• Chwee kway (水粿) is a breakfast dish consisting of rice cakes topped with chai po (salted fermented turnips), usually served with some chilli sauce.
• Fishball noodles (魚丸面) come in many forms, but the noodle variety most often seen is mee pok, which are flat egg noodles. The noodles are tossed in chilli sauce and accompanied by a side bowl of fishballs in soup.
• Hainanese chicken rice (海南鸡饭) is steamed ("white") or roasted ("red") chicken flavoured with soy sauce and sesame oil served on a bed of fragrant rice that has been cooked in chicken broth and flavoured with ginger and garlic. Accompanied by chilli sauce made from crushed fresh chillis, ginger, garlic and thick dark soy sauce as well as some cucumber and a small bowl of chicken broth. Despite its name, only the method of preparing the chicken originated in Hainan, while the method of cooking the rice was actually invented by the Hainanese immigrants in what is today Singapore and Malaysia.
• Hokkien mee (福建面) is a style of soupy fried noodles in light, fragrant stock with prawns and other seafood. Oddly, it bears little resemblance to the Kuala Lumpur dish of the same name, which uses thick noodles in dark soy, or the Penang version, which is served in very spicy prawn soup.
• Kway chap (粿汁) is essentially sheets made of rice flour served in a brown stock, accompanied by a plate of braised pork and pig organs (tongue, ear and intestines).
• Mala xiangguo (麻辣香锅) is a stir-fry of your choice of ingredients with a powerfully spicy and numbing sauce made from chillies and Sichuan peppercorns. Start with "little spicy" (小辣 xiao la) and work your way up if you dare!
• Prawn noodles (虾面, hae mee in Hokkien) is a dark-brown prawn broth served with egg noodles and a giant tiger prawn or two on top. Some stalls serve it with boiled pork ribs as well. The best versions are highly addictive and will leave you slurping up the last MSG-laden (probably from the shrimp heads) drops.
• Satay bee hoon is rice vermicelli (ari xun) served with the same peanut and chilli sauce used for satay, hence the name. Usually cockles, dried squid and pork slices are added.
• Steamboat (火锅), also known as hot pot, is do-it-yourself soup Chinese style. You get a pot of broth bubbling on a tabletop burner, pick meat, fish and veggies to your liking from a menu or buffet table, then cook it to your liking. When finished, add in noodles or ask for rice to fill you up. This usually requires a minimum of two people, and the more the merrier.
• Tau huay (豆花), also known as beancurd, is probably the most common traditional Chinese dessert, a bowl of tofu curds in syrup, served either hot or cold. An innovation that has swept the island is a delicious custard-like version ("soft tau huay") which includes no syrup and is extremely soft despite being solid.
• Wonton mee (云吞面) is thin noodles topped with wantan dumplings of seasoned minced pork. Unlike the soupy Hong Kong version, it is usually served 'dry' in soy sauce and chilli.
• Yong tau foo (酿豆腐) literally means "stuffed tofu", but it's more exciting than it sounds. The diner selects their favourites from a vast assortment of tofu, fish paste, assorted seafood and vegetables, and they are then sliced into bite-size pieces, cooked briefly in boiling water and then served either in broth as soup or "dry" with the broth in a separate bowl. The dish can be eaten by itself or with any choice of noodles. Essential accompaniments are spicy chili sauce and sweet sauce for dipping.

Indian cuisine

The smallest of Singapore's big three ethnic groups, Indians have had proportionally the smallest impact on the local culinary scene, but there is no shortage of Indian food even at many hawker centres. Delicious and authentic Indian food can be had at Little India, including south Indian typical meals such as dosa (thosai) crepes, idli lentil-rice cakes and sambar soup, as well as north Indian meals including various curries, naan bread, tandoori chicken and more. In addition, however, a number of Indian dishes have been "Singaporeanised" and adopted by the entire population, including:

• Fish head curry is, true to the name, a gigantic curried fish head cooked whole until it's ready to fall apart. Singapur Kichik Hindiston is the place to sample this. There are two styles: the fiery Indian and the milder Chinese kind.
• Nasi briyani is rice cooked in turmeric, which gives the rice an orange colour. Unlike the Hyderabadi original, it's usually rather bland, although specialist shops do turn out more flavourful versions. It is usually served with curry chicken and some Indian crackers.
• Roti prata is the local version of paratha, flat bread tossed in the air like pizza, repeatedly folded like phyllo pastry, rapidly pan-fried, and eaten dipped in curry. Modern-day variations can incorporate unorthodox ingredients like cheese, chocolate and even ice cream, but some canonical versions include roti kosong (plain), roti telur (with egg) and murtabak (layered with chicken, mutton or fish). Vegans beware: unlike Indian roti, roti prata batter is usually made with eggs.
• Putu mayam is a sweet dessert composed of vermicelli-like noodles topped with shredded coconut and orange sugar.

Hawker centres

Typical hawker centre, Bugis

The cheapest and most popular places to eat in Singapore are hawker centres, essentially former pushcart vendors directed into giant complexes by government fiat. Prices are low ($2.50–5 for most dishes), hygiene standards are high (every stall is required to prominently display a hygiene certificate grading it from A to D) and the food can be excellent. Ambience tends to be a little lacking though and there is no air-conditioning either, but a visit to a hawker centre is a must when in Singapore, if you wish to experience authentic local food culture in the heartlands themselves. However, be leery of overzealous pushers-cum-salesmen, especially at the Satay Club in Lau Pa Sat and Newton Food Centre at Newton Circus: the tastiest stalls don't need high-pressure tactics to find customers. Touting for business is illegal, and occasionally a reminder of this can result in people backing off a bit.

To order, first cho'p (reserve) a table by parking a friend at the table, or do what the locals do: place a packet of tissue paper on the table. Note and remember the table's number, then place your order at your stall of choice. Employees deliver to your table, and you pay when you get the food. Some stalls (particularly very popular ones) are "self-service", and this is indicated by a sign, but if it is quiet or you are sitting nearby, you need not deliver your own food to your table. At almost every stall you can also opt for take-away/ take-out (called "packet" or ta pao (打包) in Cantonese dialect), in which case employees pack up your order in a plastic box/bag and even throw in disposable utensils. Once you are finished, just get up and go, as tables are cleared by hired cleaners, or if you are particularly thoughtful, return your food tray by yourself to designated collection points.

Every district in Singapore has its own hawker centres and prices decrease as you move out into the boonies. For tourists, centrally located Nyuton sirk near (Nyuton MRT Exit B), Gluttonlar ko'rfazi (near Esplanade MRT Exit D) and Lau Pa Sat (near Raffles Place MRT Exit I, the River), are the most popular options — but this does not make them the cheapest or the tastiest, and the demanding gourmand would do well to head to Chinatown or the heartlands instead. A dizzying array of food stalls with a large South Indian representation can be found in the bustling Tekka markazi at the edge of Kichik Hindiston. Many of the best food stalls are in residential districts off the tourist trail and do not advertise in the media, so the best way to find them is to ask locals for their recommendations. Good examples closer to the city centre include Old Airport Road oziq-ovqat markazi (near Dakota MRT Exit B) and Tiong Bahru Market (near Tiong Bahru MRT), both of which are sprawling and home to a number of much-loved stalls. Botak Jones in several hawker centres offers reasonably authentic and fairly sized American-restaurant style meals at hawker prices.

Qahvaxonalar

Despite the name, coffee shops or kopitiam sell much more than coffee — they are effectively mini-hawker centres with perhaps only half a dozen stalls (one of which will, however, sell coffee and other drinks). The Singaporean equivalent of pubs, this is where folks come for the canonical Singaporean breakfast of kopi (strong, sugary coffee), some kaya (egg-coconut jam) toast and runny eggs, and this is also where they come to down a beer or two and chat away in the evenings. English proficiency can sometimes be limited, but most stall owners know enough to communicate the basics, and even if they don't, nearby locals will usually help you out if you ask. Many coffee shops offer zi char/cze cha (煮炒) for dinner, meaning a menu of local dishes, mostly Chinese-style seafood, served at your table at mid-range prices.

The usual Starbucks and other local cafe chains such as Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf can be found in any shopping mall but an iced coffee or tea can set you back $5 or more, whereas a teh tarik ("pulled" milky tea) or kopi coffee runs closer to $1 at any hawker centre. While exploring, you're also likely to come across a good number of independent cafes offering gourmet coffee, pastries and cakes, which have mushroomed across the city centre over the last decade.

Food courts

Oziq-ovqat respublikasi retro theme food court, Bog '

Found in the basement or top floor of nearly every shopping mall, food courts are the air-conditioned version of hawker centres. The variety of food on offer is almost identical, but prices are on average $1–3 higher than prices in hawker centres and coffee shops (depending on the area, it is slightly more expensive in tourist intensive areas) and the quality of food is good but not necessarily value-for-money.

Tez tayyorlanadigan ovqat

International fast food chains like McDonald's, Carl's Jr., Burger King, KFC, MOS Burger, Dairy Queen, Orange Julius, Subway etc. are commonly found in various shopping malls. Prices range from $2 for a basic burger to upwards of $5 for a set meal. All restaurants are self-service and clearing your table after your meal is optional. In addition to the usual suspects, look out for these uniquely Singaporean brands:

• Bengawan Solo. Singapore version of Indonesian cakes, Chinese pastries and everything in between. The name is taken from the name of a famous river in Java. 
• BreadTalk. This self-proclaimed "designer bread" chain has taken not just Singapore but much of South-East Asia by storm. Everything is jazzily shaped, funkily named (e.g. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Bacon) and baked on premises. To the Western palate, almost everything is rather sweet. 
• Jollibean. Fresh soy drinks, beancurd and tasty mee chiang kueh Chinese pancakes. 
• Killiney Kopitiam. Serves kaya toast, kopi and ginger tea (with ice or without); waiters at the original Somerset location shout your order towards the back with gusto. 
• Mr Bean. Offers a variety of soya bean drinks, ice-creams and pastries snacks. 
• Old Chang Kee. Famous for their curry puffs, but their range now covers anything and everything deep-fried. Take-away only. 
• Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Serves the classic Singaporean breakfast all day long: kaya toast, runny eggs and strong, sweet coffee (plus some other drinks). Arguably one of the more successful chains with branches as far away as South Korea and Japan. 

Restoranlar

Singapore offers a wide variety of full-service restaurants as well, catering to every taste and budget.

As the majority of Singapore's population is ethnic Chinese, there is an abundance of Chinese restaurants in Singapore, mainly serving southern Chinese (mostly Hokkien, Teochew, or Cantonese) cuisines, though with the large number of expatriates and foreign workers from China these days, cuisine originating from Shanghai and further north is also not hard to find. True local Chinese restaurants generally serve dishes little seen in Chinese restaurants internationally and in Mainland China, due to the combination of their southern Chinese roots and local influences.

Depending on where you go and what you order, prices can vary greatly. In ordinary restaurants, prices usually range from $15 ~ $35 per person, while in top-end restaurants in luxury hotels, meals can cost $300 per person when they involve delicacies such as abalone, suckling pig and lobster. As with Chinese restaurants anywhere, food is eaten with chopsticks and served with Chinese tea.

Being a maritime city, one common speciality is seafood restaurants, offering Chinese-influenced Singaporean classics like chilli crabs. These are much more fun to visit in a group, but be careful about what you order: gourmet items like Sri Lankan giant crab can easily push your bill up to hundreds of dollars. Menus typically say "market price", and if you ask they'll quote you the price per 100g, but a big crab can easily top 2kg. The best-known seafood spots are clustered on the Sharqiy sohil, but for ambience, the riverside restaurants at Boat Quay and Clarke Quay can't be beat. Again, always enquire about the prices when they aren't stated in full, and be wary of touts.

Singapore also has its share of good Western restaurants, with British- and American-influenced food being a clear favourite among locals. Most of the more affordable chains can be found in various shopping centres throughout the island, and prices for main courses range from $14 ~ 22. For a more localised variant of Western food, one should try Hainanese Western food, which traces its origins to the Hainanese migrants who worked as cooks for European employers during the colonial period. French, Italian, Japanese and Korean food is also readily available, though prices tend to be on the expensive side, while Thai and Indonesian restaurants tend to be more affordable.

One British import much loved by Singaporeans is high tea. In the classical form, as served up by finer hotels across the island, this is a light afternoon meal consisting of tea and a wide array of British-style savoury snacks and sweet pastries like finger sandwiches and scones. However, the term is increasingly used for afternoon buffets of any kind, and Chinese dim sum and various Singaporean dishes are common additions. Prices vary, but you'll usually be looking at $35–80 per head. Many restaurants only serve high tea on weekends, and hours may be very limited: the famous spread at the Raffles Hotel's Tiffin Room, for example, is only available from 3:30-5PM.

Singaporeans are big on buffets, especially international buffets offering a wide variety of dishes including Western, Chinese and Japanese as well as some local dishes at a fixed price. Popular chains include Sakura va Vena.

Most hotels also offer lunch and dinner buffets. Champagne brunches on Sundays are particularly popular, but you can expect to pay over $100 per head and popular spots, like Mezza9 at the Hyatt on Bog ', will require reservations.

Some restaurants put small side dishes (usually braised peanuts or prawn crackers) and wet paper towels on the table without asking. These are usually not usually free of charge, so consume them only if you really want to. Otherwise you can ask them to take it away or remove the charge from your receipt.

Yaxshi ovqatlanish

Singapore has no fewer than 44 Michelin-starred restaurants, ranging from French degustations at 3-star Odette in the National Gallery to the eponymous $2 dish served at 1-star Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice in Chinatown. The opening of the two casinos in Marina ko'rfazi va Sentosa has led to several of the world's top chefs opening local branches of their restaurants, including Santi, Waku Ghin and Guy Savoy. Prices are generally what you would expect for eating at a fine dining restaurant in the West, with $400 per person not unheard of for a tasting menu with drinks.

Ovqatlanish cheklovlari

Singapore is an easy place to eat for almost everybody. Some Indians and small groups of Chinese Buddhists are vegetarian, so Indian stalls may have a number of veggie options and some hawker centres will have a Chinese vegetarian stall or two, often serving up amazing meat imitations made from gluten. Chinese vegetarian food traditionally does not use eggs or dairy products and is thus almost always vegan; Indian vegetarian food, however, often employs cheese and other milk products. Be on your guard in ordinary Chinese restaurants though, as even dishes that appear vegetarian on the menu may contain seafood products like oyster sauce or salted fish — check with the waiter if in doubt. Some restaurants can be found that use "no garlic, no onions".

Muslims should look out for halol certificates issued by MUIS, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore. This is found at practically every Malay stall and many Indian Muslim operations too, but more rarely on outlets run by the Chinese, few of whom are Muslims. Biroq, halol oziq-ovqat sudlari atrofida halol xitoylik taomlardan namuna olish uchun juda yaxshi tanlov mavjud. Singapurdagi ko'plab G'arbiy fast-fud tarmoqlari halol go'shtdan foydalanadi: buyurtma maydoni atrofida sertifikat izlang yoki shubhangiz bo'lsa, menejerdan so'rang. Bir nechta restoran rasmiy sertifikatlashtirishni o'tkazib yuboradi va shunchaki "cho'chqa go'shti, cho'chqa yog'i yo'q" belgilarini qo'yadi; bu sizga mos bo'lsa, bu sizning chaqiruvingiz.

Boshqa tomondan, Kosherni kuzatuvchi yahudiylarga nisbatan qiyinroq kechadi kosher Singapurda oziq-ovqat deyarli noma'lum, garchi u erda bitta kosher oziq-ovqat do'koni va restorani mavjud Maghain Aboth ibodatxonasi Vaterloo ko'chasida, shuningdek Coffee Bean kosher filiali yaqinida; bilan tekshiring Yahudiylarning farovonligi kengashi tafsilotlar uchun.

Çölyak kasalligi Singapurda bu haqda deyarli eshitilmagan, shuning uchun menyuda idishlarda kleykovina bor-yo'qligi haqida ma'lumot topishni kutmang. Bunga bir nechta istisnolar kiradi Cedele va Do'konlar Jons. Kleykovina haqida xabardorlik Singapurda ham tarqalmoqda va ko'plab zamonaviy restoranlarda sizning ehtiyojlaringizni qondira oladigan xalqaro o'qituvchilar mavjud. Glyutensiz mahsulotlar ko'pchilikda mavjud Sovuq saqlash va Marketplace supermarketlari, shuningdek, kabi ixtisoslashgan do'konlar Jigarrang guruch jannat. Siz o'zingiz kabi ko'plab tabiiy glyutensiz mintaqaviy mutaxassisliklar bilan shug'ullanishingiz mumkin, masalan Haynan tovuq guruchi (soussiz tovuq go'shtini so'rashga ishonch hosil qiling) va Masala dosa.

Ichish

Kecha Klark Quay

Singapurning tungi hayoti juda mos emas Patpong, lekin u ham beparvo emas. Ba'zi klublar 24 soatlik litsenziyalarga ega va 3: 00gacha yopiq joylar kam. Osiyo bo'ylab sayohat qilayotgan har qanday san'atkorlarga Singapurda, superklubda to'xtash kafolatlangan Zouk xususan, dunyodagi eng yaxshi tungi klublar ro'yxatiga doimiy ravishda kirib borish. Singapurning tungi hayoti asosan bo'ylab joylashgan uchta Quays - Qayiq, Klark va Robertson Daryo bo'yida, klublari bilan Sentosa va yaqin atrofdagi St Jeyms elektr stantsiyasi bayram hayvonlariga tunda va kazinoda raqsga tushish uchun ko'proq sabab beradi Marina ko'rfazi janjalga kirish. Gey barlari asosan atrofida joylashgan Chinatown. Ichkilikning qonuniy yoshi 18 yoshni tashkil qiladi va bu ajablanarli darajada sust bo'lsa-da, ba'zi klublarning yosh chegaralari yuqoriroq. Agar sizdan shaxsingizni aniqlashni so'rashsa, faqat Singapur tomonidan berilgan shaxsiy guvohnoma yoki pasport identifikatsiyalashning maqbul shakllari hisoblanadi.

Juma, odatda, haftaning eng katta kechasi, shanba esa ikkinchi soniya yaqin. Yakshanba ko'plab bar va klublarda geylar kechasi, chorshanba yoki payshanba esa ayollar kechasi bo'lib, ko'pincha bu nafaqat kirish, balki ayollar uchun bepul ichimliklar degan ma'noni anglatadi. Ko'pgina klublar dushanba va seshanba kunlari yopiq, barlar odatda ochiq qoladi, ammo juda sokin.

Kechasi Singapur uslubida dam olish uchun do'stlar guruhini yig'ing va eng yaqin joyga boring karaoke box - yirik zanjirlarga kiradi Party World. Xonalarni ijaraga berish soatiga 30 dollardan va undan yuqori. Ehtiyot bo'ling, zanjirsiz, yaltiroq (yoki qo'rqinchli) ko'rinishda, neon bilan qoplangan KTV zallari juda yuqori narxlarni talab qilishi mumkin va qisqa etekli styuardessa sizning ichimliklaringizni quyishdan ko'ra ko'proq xizmatlarni taklif qilishi mumkin. Singapurda karaoke talaffuzi yapon tilidan kelib chiqadi "karah-oh-kay"G'arb o'rniga"oh-key".

Spirtli ichimliklar

Raffles mehmonxonasidagi asl Singapur slingi

Spirtli ichimliklar keng tarqalgan, ammo Singapurda og'ir gunoh soliqlari tufayli juda qimmat. Boshqa tomondan, Changi aeroportida soliqsiz, dunyodagi eng yaxshi narxlarga ega. Agar siz Malayziyadan boshqa mamlakatlardan kelgan bo'lsangiz, bir litrgacha likyor va ikki litr sharob va pivo olib kelishingiz mumkin. Katta supermarketlarda ehtiyotkorlik bilan xarid qilish, shuningdek, Avstraliyaning oddiy asosiy sharob yorliqlarini 20 dollardan past narxga tashlaydi.

Spirtli ichimliklar musulmonlar uchun haromdir (taqiqlangan) va ko'plab musulmon singapurliklar bundan voz kechishadi. Musulmon bo'lmagan boshqa Singapurliklarning ko'pchiligi puritanizmga ega emas va vaqti-vaqti bilan ichkilikdan bahramand bo'lishsa-da, ba'zi G'arb mamlakatlarida topadigan ichkilikbozlik madaniyatini topishni o'ylamang. Singapurda jamoat ichkilikbozligi ijtimoiy jihatdan yomon ko'riladi va o'zingizni alkogol ichimliklar ostida tutish, singapurlik do'stlaringizning hurmatiga sazovor bo'lmaydi. Har qanday qarama-qarshiliklarning janjalga aylanib ketishiga yo'l qo'ymang, chunki politsiya chaqiriladi va siz qamoq jazosiga duch kelishingiz va ehtimol siz konservalashingiz mumkin.

22:30 dan 7:00 gacha jamoat ichkilikka qattiq cheklangan, qo'shimcha cheklovlar esa mavjud Kichik Hindiston va Geylang dam olish kunlari va ta'til kunlarida jamoat ichishni taqiqlaydi. Aksariyat barlar, tungi klublar va restoranlar bu qoidadan istisno bo'lsa-da, demak, supermarketlar va alkogol do'konlari o'sha davrda spirtli ichimliklar sota olmaydi.

Ichkilik ichish paytida narxlar har xil. Qahvaxona yoki xokker markazida siz tanlagan katta pivo pivosidan 6 dollardan kamroq bahramand bo'lishingiz mumkin (va mahalliy rang bepul tashlanadi). Boshqa tomondan, har qanday barda, klubda yoki dabdabali restoranda ichimliklar qimmat bo'lib qolaveradi, asosiy ichimlik esa 10-15 dollar atrofida, xushbichim kokteyllar odatda 15-25 dollar oralig'ida bo'ladi. Aksincha, baxtli soatlar va ikkitadan bittagacha aktsiyalar odatiy holdir va klublarga kirish narxi odatda bir nechta ichimlik chiptalarini o'z ichiga oladi. Singapurdagi deyarli barcha restoranlarga ruxsat beriladi o'zingizni olib keling (BYO) sharob va vino menyusiga ega bo'lmagan arzonroq restoranlar odatda tiqinni ham zaryad qilmaydilar, ammo bu joylarda siz o'zingizning shisha idishingiz va ko'zoynaklaringizni olib kelishingiz kerak. Fancier joylari 20-50 dollar turadi, garchi ko'pchilik dushanba yoki seshanba kunlari bepul tiqin kunlarini taklif qilsa ham.

Sayyohlar Long Barga oqib kelishadi Raffles mehmonxonasi asl nusxasini olish uchun Singapur Sling, ananas sharbati, jin va boshqalarning kasal shirin pushti aralashmasi, ammo mahalliy aholi (deyarli) hech qachon narsalarga tegmaydi. Singapurda tanlov pivosi mahalliy pivo, Yo'lbars, shunchaki oddiy lager, ammo mikro pivo ishlab chiqarish portlashi kabi savdo shoxobchalariga olib keldi. Arxipelag (Qayiq Quay), Brewerkz (Riverside Point), Paulaner Brauhaus (Millenia Walk) va Nasos xonasi (Clarke Quay) qiziqarli alternativalarni taklif qilmoqda.

Tamaki

Tamaki katta soliqqa tortiladi va siz undan ko'proq olib kelishingizga ruxsat berilmaydi bitta ochilgan paket (karton emas, balki bitta quti!) sigaret mamlakatga. Chekishning qonuniy yoshi 21 yoshda va sigaret sotadigan do'konlar sizga bir oz sotishdan oldin identifikatsiyani so'rashlari mumkin. Bu, ayniqsa, quruqlik chegaralarida qat'iyan amalga oshiriladi Malayziya, bu erda barcha yuklar muntazam ravishda rentgen nuridan o'tkaziladi. Aksariyat jamoat joylari, shu jumladan savdogarlar markazlari chekishni cheklaydi, jamoat transportida ham taqiqlanadi. Barcha konditsioner joylarda (shu jumladan pablar va diskotekalarda) chekishga umuman taqiq qo'yilgan va chekishni chekishingiz mumkin bo'lgan cheklangan cheklovlar mavjud (masalan, avtobus bekatlari va kirish joylari, bog'lar, yopiq o'tish joylari va boshpanalardan 5 metrgacha). , o'yin maydonchalari va savdogarlar markazlarining belgilangan qismlaridan tashqari hamma taqiqlangan). Belgilangan zona sariq kontur bilan belgilangan bo'lishi kerak va "chekish zonasi" degan yozuvga ega bo'lishi mumkin. Chekish taqiqlanadigan joylarning ro'yxati va ruxsat berilgan joylarning (ancha qisqaroq) ro'yxati a hukumat veb-sayti. Shisha va elektron sigaretalar noqonuniy Singapurda.

Fohishalik

Belgilangan oltita tumanda fohishalikka yo'l qo'yiladi, eng muhimi GeylangBu tasodif emas - shuningdek, shaharning eng arzon turar joyi va eng yaxshi ovqatlarini taklif qiladi. Singapurda rozilik yoshi 16 bo'lsa, fohishalarga nisbatan eng yuqori 18 yoshga nisbatan qo'llaniladi. Sanoat past darajadagi profilni saqlaydi (bu erda go-go barlari yo'q) va so'zning har qanday yo'nalishi bo'yicha turistik joy emas. Qonuniy ravishda shug'ullanadigan tijorat seks ishchilari rasmiy organlarda ro'yxatdan o'tishlari va muntazam ravishda jinsiy yo'l bilan yuqadigan kasalliklarni tekshirish uchun maxsus klinikalarda bo'lishlari shart. Biroq, iltimos, ehtiyotkor bo'ling va xavfsiz jinsiy aloqada bo'ling, garchi qonuniy ravishda shug'ullanadigan jinsiy aloqa ishchilarining barchasi bunga qaramay turib olishadi.

Orchard Towers, yoqilgan Orchard Road, hukumat tomonidan vaqti-vaqti bilan tazyiqlar qilinishiga qaramay, o'z obro'siga mos kelishda davom etmoqda. Ehtiyot bo'ling, bu erda ishlaydigan fohishalar odatda emas ro'yxatdan o'tgan, va o'g'irlik va jinsiy yo'l bilan yuqadigan kasalliklar xavfi sezilarli darajada yuqori.

Uyqu

Shaxsiy ro'yxatlarni Singapurda topish mumkin tuman maqolalar

Eslatma: 2017 yil fevral oyidan boshlab Airbnb kabi platformalar tomonidan taqdim etilgan qisqa muddatli uy yoki xonani ijaraga berish (6 oy va undan kam) noqonuniy Singapurda. Qizig'i shundaki, bunday platformalardagi reklama xonalari yoki uylari noqonuniy emas va shuning uchun Airbnb-da Singapur ro'yxatlarini topsangiz ajablanmang. Qonunning ijrosi shu paytgacha yumshoq bo'lib kelgan, ammo qo'shnilar tomonidan shikoyat bo'lsa, darhol choralar ko'riladi. Agar bunday holat yuz bersa, siz shoshqaloqlik uchun boshqa joy topishdan boshqa noxush oqibatlarga duch kelmaysiz, ammo sizning uy egangiz qonuniy javobgarlikka tortilishi mumkin.

Singapurda turar joy Janubi-Sharqiy Osiyo standartlari bo'yicha qimmat. Xususan, narxlarning ko'tarilishida, talab ta'minotdan ustun turadi va F1 poygasi yoki ba'zi yirik konventsiyalar kabi yirik tadbirlar paytida deyarli hamma narsa sotilishi odatiy hol emas. Quyi darajadagi mehmonxonalar va yotoqxonalar yiliga arzon va mavjud bo'lib qolmoqda.

Agar siz vaqtingizni maksimal darajada oshirishni maqsad qilgan xarid qiluvchisiz Orchard Roadsavdo markazlari Daryo bo'yida ehtimol Singapurda qolish uchun eng yaxshi joy.

GST va xizmat narxi odatda e'lon qilingan narxlarga qo'shilmaydi. Shuning uchun turar joy uchun qancha mablag 'ajratishni ko'rib chiqayotganda, 17,7 foizni qo'shishni unutmang.

Xonalar odatda kichkina va chiroyli emas, ammo baribir toza va hammom va televizor kabi oddiy sharoitlarni yaratadi. Narxlar bir necha soatlik "tranzit" uchun $ 15 dan va to'liq tunab qolish uchun $ 40 dan boshlanadi. Orol bo'ylab mehmonxonalar joylashgan ikkita yirik mahalliy zanjirlar:

Splurge

Raffles mehmonxonasi

Singapur hashamatli turar joylarning keng tanloviga ega, shu jumladan mashhurlar Raffles mehmonxonasi. Siz odatda besh yulduzli mehmonxonadagi xona uchun bir kecha uchun 300 dollardan yuqoriga qarab turasiz, bu ko'pchilik me'yorlar bo'yicha hali ham juda yaxshi shartnoma. Mehmonxonalar stavkalari biroz o'zgarib turadi: katta konferentsiya narxlarni ikki baravar oshirishi mumkin, eng yuqori mavsumda dam olish kunlari esa katta chegirmalar mavjud. Eng katta mehmonxona klasterlarini topish mumkin Marina ko'rfazi (tomosha qilish uchun yaxshi) va atrofida Orchard Road (xarid qilish uchun yaxshi).

Arslon shahrida hashamatli turar joyni tanlash uchun talon-taroj qilish - bu juda kam gap.

Uzoq muddat

Singapurda uy-joy qurish juda qimmat, chunki aholi zichligi va erlarning juda kamligi uyingizda ko'chmas mulk narxlarini boshqaradi. Natijada, odatda ijaraga o'xshash narsalarga teng darajada qarab turasiz Nyu York va London.

Singapurdagi ko'p qavatli mehmonxonalar orasida Askott, shuningdek, ostida ishlaydi Somerset va Tsitadinalar brendlar. Narxlar mehmonxonalar bilan raqobatbardosh, ammo kvartiralarga qaraganda ancha qimmat.

Singapurda kvartirani ijaraga olish uchun odatda ishchi viza talab qilinadi.

Studiya va bitta xonali kvartiralarning ta'minoti juda cheklanganligi sababli, ko'pchilik byudjetda bo'lganlar kvartirani do'stlari yoki hamkasblari bilan bo'lishishadi yoki bitta xonani to'ldirishadi. Sifatida tanilgan qo'ngan uylar bungalovlar, shahar markazi yaqinida nihoyatda qimmat (ijaraga olish odatda o'n minglab), ammo agar siz shahar markazidan tashqarida yashashni istasangiz, tushishi mumkin - va butun mamlakat bo'ylab 30 daqiqada haydashingiz mumkinligini unutmang.

Bir yoki ikki oylik garov depozitlari odatiy amaliyot bo'lib, oyiga 3000 AQSh dollaridan kam bo'lgan ijara uchun agentga ijaraga yiliga 2 haftalik komissiya to'lashingiz kerak.

Shu vaqt ichida siz boshqa ish qidirishingiz mumkin, ammo vizangizni oshirib yubormang va kerakli hujjatlarsiz ishlash haqida o'ylamang; bu mahalliy qamoqxonada qisqa muddat qolishiga olib keladi, qo'shimcha jarimalar qo'shilishi mumkin, ehtimol konserva, ma'lum bir deportatsiya va qayta kirish taqiqlanadi. Bundan tashqari, sizning ish beruvchingizga ham katta miqdorda jarimalar va qamoq jazosi beriladi. Qo'shimcha ma'lumot uchun Ishchi kuchlari vazirligi.

Siz bir necha yil davomida Singapurda EP / S-Pass-da qonuniy ravishda ishlagan bo'lsangiz, ariza topshirasiz doimiy yashash (PR) juda sodda, ammo ular endi konfet kabi tarqatilmaydi. Agar berilgan bo'lsa - va sizning asosiy qoidangiz shuki, sizning maoshingiz qancha ko'p bo'lsa, shuncha ko'p olasiz - siz Singapurda abadiy qolishingiz mumkin (har 5 yilda bir oz daromad ko'rsata olsangiz) va ish joyingizni erkin ravishda o'zgartirishingiz mumkin. Ishga ruxsatnoma egalari odatda doimiy yashash uchun ariza berish huquqiga ega emaslar.

Hukumat, shuningdek, mamlakatda tadbirkorlikni yuqori darajada qo'llab-quvvatlamoqda va yangi kompaniyalar uchun foyda olish uchun 3 yillik soliq imtiyozini taklif qilmoqda (birinchi 100000 AQSh dollarida) va dunyodagi eng past soliq stavkalari yiliga 17 foizga ega. Hatto kompaniyani qo'shilish jarayoni ham shu kunlarda to'liq onlayn tarzda amalga oshiriladi va bir kun ichida tezda tugatilishi mumkin. Bundan tashqari, chet elliklarga mahalliy tadbirkorlik sub'ektlariga katta miqdordagi pul mablag'larini kiritish orqali enteroprenur vizalarini olish yoki hatto doimiy yashash huquqini beradigan turli xil hukumat sxemalari mavjud.

MRT poezdlari va stantsiyalarida taqiqlangan narsalar

Singapur ulardan biri dunyodagi eng xavfsiz yirik shaharlar deyarli har qanday o'lchov bilan. Aksariyat odamlar, shu jumladan yolg'iz ayol sayohatchilar, tunda ko'chalarda yolg'iz yurishda hech qanday muammolarga duch kelmaydilar. Ammo mahalliy politsiya aytganidek, "past jinoyatchilik jinoyat bo'lmaydi degani emas" - ehtiyot bo'ling cho'ntaklar gavjum joylarda va sog'lom fikringizni butunlay unutmang.

The Singapur politsiya kuchlari butun mamlakat bo'ylab huquqni muhofaza qilish uchun mas'uldir va siz politsiyachilarni o'ziga xos quyuq ko'k formalari bilan taniy olasiz. Aksariyat tashrif buyuruvchilar Singapur politsiyachilarining ko'pchiligini professional va foydali deb bilishadi va siz ularga duch kelgan jinoyatlar haqida iloji boricha tezroq xabar berishingiz kerak. Singapur politsiyasi G'arb mamlakatlarida siz odatlanib qolishingiz mumkin bo'lgan keng vakolatlarga ega. Xususan, sud jarayonida sizni advokat sifatida himoya qilish huquqiga ega bo'lganingizda, politsiya sizning so'roq paytida advokat bilan uchrashishingizni cheklash huquqiga ega, agar ular tergovga xalaqit berishi mumkin deb hisoblasalar. Bundan tashqari, siz o'zingizni ayblash huquqidan mahrum bo'lishingizga qaramay, siz indamaslikka haqqingiz yo'q va politsiya savollariga birinchisiga zid kelmasa, haqiqat bilan javob berishingiz talab etiladi. Siz so'roq paytida har doim o'zingizni himoya qilish uchun barcha bayonotlarni berishingiz kerak, chunki bu bajarilmasa, sudya sud jarayonida ularni birinchi marta ko'tarishingiz kerakligiga ishonmaydi.

Singapur g'ichirlagan tozalik qisman boshqa mamlakatlarda toqat qilinadigan faoliyatga qarshi qat'iy qoidalar bilan erishiladi. Masalan, jamoat transportida jayda yurish, tupurish, axlat tashlash va ichish va ovqatlanish taqiqlanadi. Mahalliy aholi Singapur a bo'lganligi haqida hazil qilishadi yaxshi shahar chunki agar siz huquqbuzarlik sodir etganingizda ushlanganda katta jarimalar undiriladi. "Qilmasliklar" va ushbu huquqbuzarliklar bilan bog'liq jarimalar tafsilotlarini ko'rsatadigan tabelalarni qidirib toping va ularga e'tibor bering. Qoching axlat, chunki huquqbuzarlarga nafaqat jarima solinishi, balki "Tuzatish ishi tartibi" ham qo'llaniladi, unda qoidabuzarlarga ochiq sariq ko'ylagi kiyib, jamoat joylarida axlat yig'ish kerak. Biroq, ijro etilish vaqti-vaqti bilan tez-tez uchraydi va chekish mumkin bo'lmagan joylarda odamlarning ochiq axlat tashlashi, tupurishi, chekishi va hokazolarni ko'rish odatiy holdir. Saqich, mashhur ravishda uzoq vaqtdan beri taqiqlangan, endi dorixonalarda tibbiy maqsadlarda foydalanish mumkin (masalan, nikotin saqichi), agar siz to'g'ridan-to'g'ri so'rasangiz, shaxsiy guvohnomangizni ko'rsating va reestrga imzo cheking. Saqichni import qilish hali ham rasmiy ravishda huquqbuzarlik bo'lsa-da, odatda shaxsiy iste'mol uchun bir nechta paketlarni muammosiz olib kelishingiz mumkin.

Singapur politsiya kuchlarining politsiyachilari

Ba'zi jinoyatlar uchun, eng muhimi noqonuniy kirish va vizangizni 30 yoki 90 kundan ortiq ushlab turish, Singapur yuklaydi konserva jazo sifatida. Qamoq jazosiga ega bo'lgan boshqa jinoyatlar qatoriga buzg'unchilik, talonchilik, bosqinchilik va zo'rlash kiradi. 16 yoshga to'lmagan qiz bilan jinsiy aloqada bo'lish, Singapur qonunchiligiga ko'ra, qiz bunga rozi bo'lishidan qat'i nazar, zo'rlash deb hisoblanadi va sizga bir necha tayoq zarbasini beradi. Bu bilakka urish emas. Qalin rattan qamishidan qon tomirlari juda og'riqli, davolanish uchun bir necha hafta vaqt kerak bo'ladi va umr bo'yi chandiq paydo bo'ladi. Korruptsiya, shuningdek, konserva bilan jazolanadi, shuning uchun hech qanday holatda agar siz politsiya xodimiga pora yoki hadya berishga harakat qilsangiz. Qotillik, odam o'g'irlash, qurolni ruxsatsiz saqlash va giyohvand moddalar savdosi kabi jinoyatlar o'lim bilan jazolanadi.

Mustamlakachilik davrida sodomiya to'g'risidagi nizomga binoan uzoq vaqt davomida taqiqlangan og'iz va anal jinsiy aloqa, heteroseksuallar uchun 2007 yil oktyabr oyida qonuniylashtirildi. Erkak gomoseksual aloqaammo, noqonuniy bo'lib qolmoqda, nazariy jazo ikki yillik qamoq va / yoki konserva bilan jazolanadi. Garchi ushbu qonun umuman bajarilmasa ham va Chinatown hududida bir nechta gey barlari bo'lgan juda faol geylar hamjamiyati mavjud bo'lsa-da, geylar mahalliy aholi va hukumat amaldorlaridan qonuniy ravishda kamsitilish va senzurali munosabatlarni kutishlari kerak. Shunga qaramay, gomoseksuallarga qarshi asossiz zo'ravonlik deyarli eshitilmaydi va siz shunchaki qarash va shivirlashdan nariga o'tolmaysiz. Noqonuniy bo'lmasa-da, transgender odamlar, shuningdek, mahalliy aholi va hukumat mulozimlari tomonidan ma'lum darajada masxara qilinishi mumkin, ammo sababsiz zo'ravonlik hodisalari deyarli eshitilmaydi. Singapur qonunchiligiga ko'ra, transgenderlar qonuniy jinsini o'zgartirishi va faqat o'zlari xohlagan jamoat hojatxonalaridan foydalanishlari mumkin keyin jinsiy aloqani almashtirish operatsiyasidan o'tmoqda.

Tilanchilik Singapurda bu noqonuniy, ammo vaqti-vaqti bilan ko'chalarda tilanchilarni ko'rasiz. Ularning aksariyati Singapurlik emas - hattoki vaqti-vaqti bilan xayriya uchun sayyohlarni zararli qiladigan "rohiblar" ham soxta.

Jaywing noqonuniy bo'lsa-da, bu hali ham odatiy holdir va shahar atrofida tez-tez uchraydi. Ehtiyot bo'ling, agar sizni politsiya xodimi ushlasa, siz ozgina jarimaga tortishingiz mumkin. Oddiy qilib aytganda, yo'llar avtomobillar uchun, piyodalar yo'llari esa odamlar uchun mo'ljallangan.

Singapur konstitutsiyasida "so'z erkinligi" va'da qilingan, ammo amalda bu huquq juda cheklangan, chunki bu sterilizatsiya qilingan ichki matbuotga qarash. Do'stlaringiz bilan tasodifiy suhbatda hukumatga qarshi fikr bildirganingiz uchun politsiya sizni hibsga olmaydi, ammo Singapurdagi chet elliklarga mavzudan qat'i nazar, har qanday siyosiy faoliyat bilan shug'ullanish, shu jumladan miting yoki namoyishlarga qatnashish taqiqlanadi. The sudni janjal qilish jinoyati (sudga nisbatan hurmatsizlik) keng ta'riflangan bo'lib, sud yoki sudyani obro'sizlantirishga olib kelishi mumkin bo'lgan har qanday harakat yoki bayonot ta'qib qilish uchun javobgar bo'ladi. Xorijiy jurnalistlar va huquqshunoslar sudlangan holatlar bo'lgan, shuning uchun sud tizimiga nisbatan izoh berishdan saqlanish kerak.

Singapur deyarli immunitetga ega emas tabiiy ofatlar: yaqin atrofda yoriqlar chizig'i yo'q, garchi ba'zan Indoneziyadagi zilzilalardan binolarning yuqori qavatlaridan silkinish sezilishi mumkin. Boshqa quruqliklar uni sunamidan himoya qiladi va mahalliy sharoit tayfun va tornado hosil bo'lishiga yordam bermaydi (Singapur tarixida faqat bitta tornado qayd etilgan). Noyabr-yanvar oylarida musson mavsumida toshqinlar vaqti-vaqti bilan xavf tug'diradi, ayniqsa Sharqiy qirg'oqning pasttekislik qismlarida, ammo har qanday suv odatda bir kun ichida oqadi va hayot odatdagidek davom etadi.

Pora berish

Odatda Singapur ham davlat, ham shaxsiy hayotda nisbatan korrupsiyadan xoli deb hisoblanadi. Pora berish - bu o'ta jiddiy jinoyat bo'lib, uzoq muddatli qamoq jazosi bilan birga erkaklar uchun jarimalar va konservalar bilan jazolanadi. Qil emas, ostida har qanday sharoitlar, politsiya xodimiga yoki boshqa davlat xizmatchilariga pora taklif qiling, chunki bu sizning zudlik bilan hibsga olinishingizga olib keladi.

Irqiy va diniy kamsitish

Singapur tinch integratsiyalashgan jamiyatni ta'minlash uchun katta sa'y-harakatlarni amalga oshirdi; qarshi kamsituvchi gaplar qilish har qanday etnik kelib chiqishi yoki diniy qamoq muddatini nazarda tutadigan jinoyat. Blogerlar o'z bloglarida irqchi so'zlar aytgani uchun hibsga olingan va qamoq jazosiga hukm qilingan, diniy rahbarlar ham va'zlarida boshqa dinlarni haqorat qilganliklari uchun qonun bilan muammoga duch kelishgan.

Singapurda "Yahova Shohidlari" sektasi mahalliy aholi uchun taqiqlangan (harbiy xizmatdan qochishgani uchun), ammo bu sayyohlarga hech qanday ta'sir ko'rsatmaydi.

Qurol

Singapurda qurolga oid qat'iy qonunlar mavjud va qurolni ruxsatsiz saqlash eng yaxshi holatda uzoq muddatga ozodlikdan mahrum qilish bilan jazolanadi va eng yomoni hatto o'lim jazosi. Havodan yumshoq qurollar shuningdek taqiqlangan va ularga litsenziyasiz ega bo'lish sizni qamoqqa tashlaydi 3 yilgacha.

Qurol sotib olish va egalik qilish uchun litsenziyalar odatda faqat sport maqsadida (ya'ni nishonga olish uchun) beriladi va odatda siz ro'yxatdan o'tgan o'q otish klubi a'zosi bo'lishingizni talab qiladi. Otish qurollari o'q otish joyida xavfsiz tarzda saqlanishi kerak va uni oldindan o'qishga ruxsat olmagan bo'lsangiz, uni o'q otish joyidan olib chiqish umuman noqonuniy hisoblanadi.

O'qotar qurol olib kirishni istagan mehmonlar oldindan ruxsat olishlari shart, ammo amalda bu ruxsatnomalar faqat rasmiy o'q otish musobaqalarida beriladi. Sizdan militsiya eskorti ostida kirish portidan tortishish maydoniga borishingiz talab qilinadi, u erda siz mamlakatdan chiqib ketguningizcha qurolingizni xavfsiz saqlashingiz kerak bo'ladi.

Bezgak muammo emas, lekin dang isitmasi mintaqaga xos bo'lib, 2016 yilda Singapur a Zika virusi avj olish. Singapur chivinlarni qattiq nazorat qiladi (atrofdagi suvni tashlab qo'yish sizga jarimaga tortadi), ammo hukumatning yordami orolning qo'riqxonalariga kirmaydi, shuning uchun siz piyoda yurishni rejalashtirmoqchi bo'lsangiz, chivinlarga qarshi vositani olib keling.

Alternatively, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are widespread in Singapore. Eu Yan Sang runs a chain of over 20 clinics, while the Singapore Chinese Physicians' Association offers a directory of TCM physicians.

Hojatxonalar

Nearly all shopping centres, hotels, MRT stations, bus interchanges and hawker centres are likely to have clean public toilet facilities available. Some public toilets may charge 10 or 20 cents per entry. If there's no toilet paper in the stall, take a look around, as it's sometimes provided on a shared giant roll outside. Most toilets have bowls, but there is usually one squatting cubicle in every public toilet. Being free, McDonald's toilets are popular and the staff do not make a fuss.

Hurmat

Singaporeans care little about formal politeness. What would be decent behaviour at home, wherever home might be, is unlikely to offend anyone in Singapore. In Singapore, unlike much of southeast Asia, women wearing revealing clothing or men wearing shorts and slippers are perfectly acceptable and only the fanciest bars and restaurants, and some private clubs, try to enforce dress codes.

That said, Singaporeans tend to be more socially conservative than Westerners, meaning that public display of affection is still frowned upon: holding hands is fine, but making out in public is considered to be impolite. Toplessness for women is not acceptable anywhere, even on the beach. Most Buddhist and Hindu temples, as well as mosques, require women to be conservatively dressed - no bare shoulders, and no skirts above the knee-cap. The major touristy temples will have shawls and sarongs so visitors can cover up before entering. Many places of worship also require you to remove your shoes before you enter.

The local dialect with its heavy Chinese influences may appear brusque or even rude, but saying "You want beer or not?" is in fact Ko'proq polite in Chinese than asking if you want beer; after all, the person asking you the question is offering you a choice, not making a demand.

Qabul qiling dietary restrictions into account when inviting Singaporean friends for a meal. Many Indians and some Chinese are vegetarian. Most Malays, being Muslims, eat only halol food, while most Hindus (and a few Chinese) abstain from beef. If unsure, ask beforehand.

Swastikas are commonly seen in Buddhist and Hindu temples, as well as among the possessions of Buddhists and Hindus. They are regarded as religious symbols and do emas represent Nazism or anti-Semitism. As such, Western visitors should not feel offended on seeing a swastika in the homes of their hosts, and many locals will wonder what the fuss is all about. Nazi swastikas will also occasionally be seen as fashion statements, but without an awareness of the ideology.

Touchy topics

Sensitive issues in Singapore include immigration, politics, race, religion and LGBT rights. In a country where only 60% of the population are citizens, immigration is particularly sensitive, and while few Singaporeans are explicitly xenophobic, many resent the influx of "foreign talents" (once the government's term, now heavily loaded with sarcasm) competing for jobs while not integrating into society or having to fulfill obligations like military service.

Singapore is not China, and despite being a majority of the population, most ethnic Chinese identify themselves as Singaporeans instead of Chinese nationals, who are commonly referred to as "PRCs" or "Ah Tiong". There is similar tension between Singaporeans of Indian descent and recent Indian immigrants, dubbed "CECA" after an unpopular free trade agreement.

Like in many other Asian countries, saving face is very important in Singaporean culture. You should generally not point out other people's mistakes in order not to cause major embarrassment, and it is considered poor taste to flaunt your wealth in front of your less well-to-do peers. Bragging about your achievements will also in general not be well-received.

Singaporeans have a tense relationship with their cultural identity. On the one hand, Singapore's first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew was reportedly proud of being called "the best bloody Englishman east of Suez"; on the other, there is an understandable desire to display a pride for genuinely Singaporean cultural aspects including food. One area in which this tension manifests is the use of Singlish, which is officially discouraged by the government through its "Speak Good English Campaign", but is often employed deliberately by all strata of society as a means to display "Singaporean-ness". Tread lightly in these fields and be respectful.

Visiting homes

If invited to somebody's house, always remove your shoes before you enter as most Singaporeans do not wear their shoes at home. Socks are perfectly acceptable though, as long as they are not excessively soiled. Some households may provide slippers in the bathroom, but these are generally not meant to be worn anywhere else.

Beware of taboos if bringing gifts. Any products (food or otherwise) involving animals may cause offence and are best avoided, as are white flowers (usually reserved for funerals). Knives and clocks are also symbols of cutting ties and death, respectively, and some Chinese are superstitious about the number four. In Singapore, it is considered rude to open a gift in front of the person who gave it to you. Instead, wait until the person has left and open it in private. Many Singaporean Muslims and some Hindus abstain from alcohol.

Biznes

Singapore skyline

Singaporeans are punctual, so show up on time. The standard greeting is a firm handshake. However, conservative Muslims avoid touching the opposite sex, so a man meeting a Malay woman should let her offer her hand first and a woman meeting a Malay man should wait for him to offer his hand. If they opt to place their hand on the heart and bow slightly instead, just follow suit. Singaporeans generally do not hug, especially if it is someone they have just met, and doing so would probably make your host feel awkward, though the other person will probably be too polite to say anything as saving face is a major Asian value.

For men, standard business attire is a long-sleeved shirt and a tie, although the tie is often omitted, the shirt's collar button opened instead. Jackets are rarely worn because it is too hot most of the time. Women usually wear Western business attire, but a few prefer Malay-style kebaya va sarong, Chinese-style cheongsam, or Indian-style sari.

Business cards are always exchanged when people meet for business for the first time: hold yours with ikkala qo'l by the top corners, so the text faces the recipient, while simultaneously receiving theirs. (This sounds more complicated than it is.) Never give out or receive a business card with only one hand, as it is considered to be very disrespectful. Study the cards you receive and feel free to ask questions; when you are finished, place them on the table in front of you, emas in a shirt pocket or wallet, and do not write on them (some may find it disrespectful).

Business gifts are generally frowned on as they smell of bribery. Small talk and bringing up the subject indirectly are neither necessary nor expected. Most meetings get straight down to business.

Telefon orqali

The international telephone country code for Singapore is 65. There are three main telecommunication providers in Singapore: Singtel, StarHub va MobileOne (M1) , plus an ever-changing plethora of minor operators piggybacking on the big players' networks.

Phone numbers in Singapore have the format 65 6396 0605 where "65" is the country code for Singapore. Due to the small area of Singapore, there are no area codes. Any number starting with 8 yoki 9 is a mobile phone, while numbers starting with 6 are fixed lines (usually businesses). Toll free numbers start with 800, and usually cannot be dialed from outside the country.

Mobile phones are carried by almost everyone in Singapore, including many young children, and coverage is generally excellent throughout the country. Prepaid SIM cards are sold in 7-Eleven convenience stores, phone shops and currency exchange counters, just bring your own phone or buy a cheap used handset in Singapore.

For free public WiFi without a complicated sign-in, try local shopping centers (though not all have it) and the Gardens by the Bay.

Full-service laundry and dry cleaning shops can be found in every shopping mall; unfortunately turnaround times are usually upwards of three days unless you opt for express service.

There are toilets and showers along the track. Furthermore every park has a couple of fitness stations.

Free-to-air digital terrestrial televisions (DTT) are readily available at all sides of Singapore, though most houses and hotels have cable or internet protocol TV that enable them to get more channels. The four official languages of Singapore each gets at least one TV station, and the main news at night for each language is always subtitled to the respective languages. All TV channels are owned by the state-owned Mediacorp, as such news contents, especially from Singapore, generally do not differ much between channels.

Due to its proximity to Indonesia and Malaysia, antennas can also receive channels from both countries. Foreign news channels such as the BBC, CNN and CNBC are available with a pay TV subscription. The main pay TV operators in Singapore are Starhub TV va Singtel TV.

The main English-language newspaper is The Straits Times, which is published every Monday to Saturday, with Sunday Times filling in on Sunday. Business Times focuses on business and financial news. Papers are also available in Singapore's three other official languages, with Lianhe Zaobao (联合早报) being the main Chinese newspaper, Berita Harian (yoki Berita Minggu on Sunday) being the main Malay newspaper, and Tamil Murasu (தமிழ் முரசு) being the main Tamil newspaper.
