Singapore: where is this Asian city-state located?
The location of Singapore (its coastline stretches for 190 km), the area of which is 720 sq km (it is gradually "growing" due to the land reclamation), are the islands of Southeast Asia. The Malacca Peninsula, more precisely, its southern end, is distant from them through the Strait of Johor (its width is a little more than 1 km).
Singapore includes more than 60 islands - the island of the same name, Sentosa, Sudong, Ubin, Semakau, Brani and others. From Singapore to the Riau Islands (Indonesia) - 40 km, and to Johor (Sultanate of Malaysia) - 88 km. Malaysia is separated from the city-state by the Strait of Johor, and Indonesia by the Strait of Singapore.
