Singapore Cheongsam/Qipao
Singapore does not have a national

costume but it’s three main ethnic groups
(Chinese, Malay and Indian) each have their
own traditional styles of dress that are used
on certain occasions. The
elegant cheongsam or qipao as it is known
in Mandarin will often be worn by Chinese
women in Singapore on their wedding
day or during Chinese New Year
celebrations.
Baju Kurung
The traditional costume for Malay men in

Singapore is the “baju melayu” which is a
loose shirt, trousers and a sarong around
the waist called a “sampin”. For malay
women the traditional dress is called a
“Baju Kurung”. For typical everyday wear
modern Singaporeans will be seen wearing
western style t-shirts and jeans or business
suits.
Indian Saree | Singapore

Buddhism owes its origins primarily from
Shakyamuni Buddha who appeared in India
around 2500 years ago or more. As a
religion, Buddhism is introduced in modern-
day Singapore primarily by migrants from
across the world over past centuries. The
first recorded histories of Buddhism in
Singapore can be observed in the early
days' monasteries and temples such as
Thian Hock Keng and Jin Long Si Temple
that were built by settlers that came from
various parts of the world, in particularly
Taoism in Singapore Asia.
It is the religion of 10.9% of the entire

population, growing from 8% ten years
earlier. The definition of "Taoism" in the
city-state includes the Chinese folk religion.
In general, nearly all adherents of Taoism in
Singapore are associated with the
mainstream Zhengyi school. Owing to the
decline in religious knowledge amongst the
younger generations, Taoists, like followers
of other religion, focus on rituals with little
or no knowledge of Taoist scriptures and
cultivation.
Whilst a majority of Muslims in Singapore

are traditionally ethnic Malays, there is also
a significant growing number of Muslims
from other ethnic groups; in particular,
there is a sizeable number of Muslims
amongst ethnic Indians that statistically
include Tamil Muslims and ethnic Pakistanis
in Singapore as well. For this reason, a
number of mosques (mostly Tamil-
speaking) specifically cater to the needs of
Buddhism in Singapore the Indian Muslim community.
Marina Bay Sands the bright red lanterns, there's an
excitement and hustle in this district. You
can visit the Chinese Heritage Centre and
see the impressive and beautiful Sri
MariammanHindu temple. Another temple
worth seeing is the Buddha Tooth
Relic temple. If you're up early enough
(think 4 am), you can hear the morning
drum ceremony.
Singapore Zoo
The opulent Marina Bay Sands resort

complex includes a hotel, high-end luxury
brands, a mall with a canal running through
it, the ArtScience Museum, and the Marina
Bay Sands Skypark - a vantage point for
taking in the entire city. The Skypark's
viewing deck and infinity pool are found in
the ship (yes, ship) that tops the hotel.
Billing itself as the world's best rainforest

zoo, the Singapore Zoo is a pretty
impressive place. The facility is clean and
inviting, and the animals appear well
treated with plenty of lush vegetation and
habitat space. The orangutans are
particularly impressive, and visitors can
watch as babies and adults alike swing high
above their platforms and snack on
bananas. There is also a large chimpanzee
family, zebras, meerkats, a komodo dragon,
mole rats, white tigers, kangaroos, and
many other creatures.
Chinatown
If you've ever visited China, Singapore's

Chinatown neighborhood will bring you
right back there. From the small mom-and-
pop stores and authentic Chinese food to
T-shirts, bermudas and flip flops form the
most common outfit that Singaporeans
wear every day. Dress like a Singaporean to
fit in, especially when you expect to be
walking under the merciless sun for hours –
when you visit Universal Studios Singapore,
the Singapore Zoo and Jurong Bird Park.
Singaporeans place packets of tissue

paper on tables and seats of food courts to
indicate that the places are reserved for
them.
Singaporeans love food and therefore do

not mind queuing for hours to buy delicious
food. The stalls serving the best food always
have the longest queue. if you are touring
Singapore on a food trail, joining the
longest queue in any food court or hawker
centre will increase your probabilities of
chancing upon good local food.
