Singapore is a city-state in South-East Asia, at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It was founded by Stamford Raffles and gained independence from the United Kindgdom in 1963. It separated from Malaysia and became a sovereign nation in 1965. Singapore is linked to the city of Johor Bahru in Malaysia by the 1,056-metre Johor–Singapore Causeway.
