Abstract: Abstract Singapore is a small city-state of 618 square kilometres and 2.5 million people. It has overcome land and natural resource constraints by exploiting its geographical location in South East Asia and developing its human resources. As a newly industrialising country with a per capita GNP of S$13,783 (US$6,563) in 1983, it is on the threshold of becoming a developed economy.
