People and Culture
The Singapore culture is basically a mix of the Chinese, British, India, and some Malay cultures. Since the British once ruled Singapore, some of the culture has come from Britain. Of course some of the culture comes from surrounding countries. This includes the thought of peace, equality, justice and more. Some of the major festivals are Chinese New Year and Buddhist Vesak Day.
The major religions in Singapore are Buddhism (33 %), Christianity (18%), and Islam (15%). Other religions in Singapore are Taoism and Confucianism.
