Singapore is located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula and composed of one main island, 63 satellite islands, and an outlying islet. Singapore is home to 3,400 Latter-day Saints and seven congregations.[1] "From the beginning, Latter-day Saint communities in Singapore have been a cosmopolitan mix of people from Chinese, Malaysian, Indian, Indonesian, European, and other ethnic and national backgrounds. Singapore has drawn this diverse community of Latter-day Saints, all with unique gifts to share, because it is a hub of southeast Asian commerce, education, and culture."[2]
"After decades of war and civil unrest in the South Asia area, efforts to spread the gospel to these countries began in earnest in the late 1960s. Tight government restrictions on foreign missionary visas established in 1970 created a Church culture in which local members, many of them new converts, assumed significant responsibilities of leadership and missionary work. By 1977 most new converts had been introduced to the gospel by other members."[3]
