millennium, 2000. In that population boom, the ratio of men to women has
narrowed from almost 3:1, to almost even.

successes. A leader in repairing and building ships, Singapore also has
a center that refines and distributes oil which which is one of the largest in
the world.
Its harbor is the busiest in the world and is a very popular port for
cruise lines. The airport is also the busiest in the world and is also
one of the world's best airports with a vast array of amenities available.
Singapore, one of the cleanest and safest spots in Asia, draws a crowd of
around 6 million visitors each year. A reason for its cleanliness and
safety stems from a strict enforcement of rules for even the slightest
transgression.
