		From having seen the Singapore President flag first-hand, I believe that its proportion is 2:3 similar to that of the Singapore flag as I have seen both of them side by side and it has never struck me that one was of different proportion to the other.
		Barraclough and Crampton 1981 is unclear: it says the presidential flag is made of a canton of the national flag.
		The national flag is 2:3, and therefore Barraclough and Crampton 1981 might have intended to imply that the presidential flag also is. Also, we have Tom Koh's first-hand testimony and picture, plus the 2:3 ratio in the —elsewhere not very reliable— Dorling-Kindersley 1997.

		Singapore has traded in its rough-and-ready opium dens and pearl luggers for towers of concrete and glass, and its steamy rickshaw image for hi-tech wizardry, but you can still recapture the colonial era with a gin sling under the languorous ceiling fans at Raffles Hotel.
		At first glance, Singapore appears shockingly modern and anonymous, but this is an undeniably Asian city with Chinese, Malay and Indian traditions from feng shui to ancestor worship creating part of the everyday landscape.
		Co-ordinate your visit with one of the various festivals and events: Thaipusam is a spectacular festival, occurring around February.
