Singapore -  officially the Republic of Singapore, is a city-state island country off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, in Southeast Asia. It is separated from Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to its north and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to its south. Singapore is the world's fourth leading financial centre and a cosmopolitan world city, playing a key role in international trade and finance. The port of Singapore is one of the five busiest ports in the world.
The English name of Singapore is derived from its Malay name, Singapura, thus the customary reference to the nation as the Lion City.
