Probably the most well known city-state in the world, Singapore is the epitome of confluence between Western progress and Eastern tradition. Singapore has seen as many as 10 million tourists in a year and – similar to Dubai – has an incredibly comprehensive tourist infrastructure to facilitate what forms a huge chunk of the Singaporean economy. Medical tourism in Singapore has been gaining worldwide recognition, contributing an annual average of 3 billion USD to the local market. This also applies to the nation’s education sector, which has been attracting over 1,00,000 students every year. Food, drink and affordable shopping are the main tourist highlights of Singapore, which is home to the famous Tiger Beer and chilly crab, a rage among street food enthusiasts. Singaporean cuisine showcases elements of Chinese, Malay, Cantonian and Indian elements Malaysia
Bordered by Thailand, Indonesia and Brunei, and located very close to Singapore, Malaysia is the southernmost nation of the Eurasian landmass. It is interesting to note the form of government in Malaysia, which is known as a constitutional monarchy. Thus, there is indeed a single head of state who governs the nation. It might seem a backward notion in the face of modern democratic trends, but Malaysia harbours a rapidly developing economy. The efficiency of Malaysian infrastructure is considered to be surpassed only by that of Singapore. Malaysia is also home to the Petronas towers, the tallest twin towers in the world. Indian, Javanese, Thai, Sumatran and Chinese influences all meld to create Malaysian culture, which is famous for its food, literature and fine art. If you were under the impression that the Asian Southeast is all about rainforests and peasant food, you were wrong. The only way to find out just how developed the area is, it to visit.
