Singapore was once one of the federations of Malaysia. However, Singapore became an independent sovereign country in 1965 under the leadership of Lee Quan Yew. After early years of turmoil whilst lacking natural resources and a neighbourhood, the nation rapidly developed to become one of the Four Asian Tigers based on international trade and economic globalisation, integrating itself within the world economy through free trade with minimal-to-no trade barriers or tariffs, export-oriented industrialisation, and the large accumulation of received foreign direct investments, foreign-exchange reserves, and assets held by sovereign wealth funds. Tourism is a major industry and contributor to the Singaporean economy
