5 things you should know about Singapore and its Environment.

1. We are sheltered from Natural disasters.

- Our strategic location on the map has sheltered us from any natural disasters other than the occasional flood in certain areas due to heavy rain.

2. Singapore is home to the world’s largest bat.

- The world’s largest bat, the Flying Fox, live in Pulau Ubin.

3. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve has more species of trees than the whole of North America.

- There are over 840 species of flowering plants and over 500 species of fauna.

4. Bukit Timah Hill is the highest natural point on the island at 165m.

- You will get to see a spectacular view of Singapore at the top of the hill.

5. We are famously known as the cleanest city in the world.

- Singapore has put in place many laws to ensure its cleanliness.

Some laws would include:

· Chewing gum in Singapore is prohibited
The sale of gum was prohibited after chewed gum was stuck to lift buttons and on the train stations, and was carelessly disposed of.

· It is illegal to smoke in public places.
This was an effort taken by the Singapore Government in moving towards a smoke-free lifestyle in Singapore.

· Littering is also illegal in Singapore
You may face a hefty fine and a CWO (Corrective Work Order) for repeat offenders if you litter in Singapore.

Singapore has put a lot of effort into promoting and ensuring that it stays clean and green. Although the laws put in place may seem outrageous to some, it has benefitted Singapore and its environment a great deal. We hope that your visit to Singapore will be a pleasant one and that you will be able to enjoy Singapore’s eco and nature as well.
