First sentence: Poised at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, right in the middle of one of the world's richest trade routes, Singapore has, since the 3rd century AD and possibly earlier, been thought of as a stopover, a tanking up point and a sales floor for the wheeling and dealing of international tradesmen.
