How do you correctly label a picture from Singapore?

If you are labeling pictures by their locations--such as Bali, Indonesia or Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, how do you label one from Singapore? Singapore, Singapore? Just plain Singapore? Or what? Is it ever called Singapore City, Singapore?






Answer :
Officially, Singapore is the Republic of Singapore. The capital is Singapore City.

Yet, I have never heard anyone refer to Singapore in any way other than Singapore.

By the way, I have worked in Singapore for a week, which doesn't make me an expert; but, I have seen a lot of references to the place.

By the way, http://www.straitstimes.com/ is a major Singapore newspaper. Look for similar situations in that paper.






Answer :
Singapore will suffice, but if you do know the district/location where the picture is taken then name the district like for example "Bedok, Singpore" or "Toa Payoh, Singapore." If you are a foreigner and want to be specific and you don't know the location, at least look-up for the street name or ask the locals for the name of the area. For example Orchard Rd, Singapore. Or it may be a name of a building as in Sultan Mosque, Singapore.






Answer :
Singapore is a city-state. Thus if desired to put it in the form of it would become Singapore, Singapore. Nonetheless, Singapore should be common enough such that, if a picture is labeled plainly "Singapore", it wouldn't be confusing to the audience.






Answer :
Unless you have really specific destinations you visited one the island I always just labeled mine as Singapore...I think it counts as the city and the country since its so small to begin with. I think as long as you know what your talking about you'll be fine. It is absolutely beautiful there (been twice and loved it).






Answer :
If you want to be completely accurate in your labeling, it’s officially the Republic of Singapore.
