National Language

Singapore's national language is only Malay from Article 153A.

" 153A.—(1) Malay , Mandarin, Tamil and English shall be the 4 official languages in Singapore. (2) The national language shall be the Malay language and shall be in the Roman script: "^[1]

While English is the lingua franca of Singapore, it is not the national language of Singapore. Kenneth Gerald Lxy (talk) 03:56, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do think Singapore's low corruption rankings does warrant some notability on the third paragraph at the top as one of its key social indicators, as they are ranked the highest in Asia and 4th in the world, only behind Denmark, New Zealand, and Finland and on par with Norway. It may also partially explain as to why the governing PAP has continuously remained in power. I would suggest "low levels of corruption" or just "transparency" on the key social indicators sentence.

Coordinates request on 12 February 2022

I note that unlike the vast majority of city pages, there is no coordinates link to map sites in this page. I'd add them - but I'm locked out... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.150.36.254 (talk) 11:03, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's some sort of bug with the infobox country (which this page uses). The coords were already here, but they are not displayed as they should. I had to take them out like I found in another article. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 17:08, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(One) Of the highest infrastructure in the world, Missing name for Singapore.

According to website (https://www.statista.com/statistics/264753/ranking-of-countries-according-to-the-general-quality-of-infrastructure/) Singapore has the highest infrastructure rating in the world. Also, In Sanskrit, Singapore is called Singapura. EditorWiki121 (talk) 21:34, 25 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]
