The Republic
of Singapore is a sovereign city-state and island
country in Southeast Asia. It lies one degree north of the equator,
at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Indonesia's Riau
Islands to the south and Peninsular Malaysia to the north.
Singapore's territory consists of one main island along with 62
other islets. The country is known for its transition from third world to first
world in a single generation, under the leadership of its founding
father, Lee Kuan Yew.
Stamford
Raffles founded colonial Singapore in 1819 as a trading post of
the British East India Company. After the company's collapse in
1858, the islands were ceded to the British Raj as a crown colony.
During the Second World War, Singapore was occupied by Japan. It
gained independence from the UK in 1963 by federating with other former British
territories to form Malaysia, but separated two years later over ideological
differences, becoming a sovereign nation in 1965. After early years of turbulence and
despite lacking natural resources and a hinterland, the nation developed
rapidly as an Asian Tiger economy, based on external trade and
its workforce.

When
the Settlements became a crown colony in 1867, they had to begin issuing their
own stamps, not least because they adopted a currency based on 96 cents to a
silver dollar. Beginning on 1 September 1867, nine types in the existing stocks
of Indian stamps were overprinted with a crown and a new value in cents. Stamps
printed by De La Rue for the Settlements started arriving in December; they are
notable for a prominent white frame around the profile of
