In 1824, a further treaty with the Sultan led to the entire island becoming a British possession.[43] In 1826, Singapore became part of the Straits Settlements, then under the jurisdiction of British India. Singapore became the regional capital in 1836.[44] Prior to Raffles' arrival, there were only about a thousand people living on the island, mostly indigenous Malays along with a handful of Chinese.[45] By 1860 the population had swelled to over 80,000, more than half being Chinese.[43] Many of these early immigrants came to work on the pepper and gambier plantations.[46] In 1867, the Straits Settlements were separated from British India, coming under the direct control of Britain.[47] Later, in the 1890s, when the rubber industry became established in Malaya and Singapore,[48] the island became a global centre for rubber sorting and export.[43]
After being expelled from Malaysia, Singapore became independent as the Republic of Singapore on 9 August 1965,[97][98] with Lee Kuan Yew and Yusof bin Ishak as the first prime minister and president respectively.[99][100] In 1967, the country co-founded the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).[101] Race riots broke out once more in 1969.[102] Lee Kuan Yew's emphasis on rapid economic growth, support for business entrepreneurship, and limitations on internal democracy shaped Singapore's policies for the next half-century.[103][104] Economic growth continued throughout the 1980s, with the unemployment rate falling to 3% and real GDP growth averaging at about 8% up until 1999. During the 1980s, Singapore began to shift towards high-tech industries, such as the wafer fabrication sector, in order to remain competitive as neighbouring countries began manufacturing with cheaper labour. Singapore Changi Airport was opened in 1981 and Singapore Airlines was formed.[105] The Port of Singapore became one of the world's busiest ports and the service and tourism industries also grew immensely during this period.[106][107]
Tourism is a major industry and contributor to the Singaporean economy, attracting 18.5 million international tourists in 2018, more than three times Singapore's total population.[359] Singapore is the 5th most visited city in the world, and 2nd in the Asia-Pacific.[360] In 2019 tourism contributed directly to about 4% of Singapore's GDP,[361] down from 2016, when tourism contributed, directly and indirectly, to around 9.9% of Singapore's GDP.[362] Altogether, the sector generated approximately 8.6% of Singapore's employment in 2016.[362]
The same census also reports that about 74.1% of residents were of Chinese descent, 13.4% of Malay descent, 9.2% of Indian descent, and 3.3% of other (including Eurasian) descent.[375] Prior to 2010, each person could register as a member of only one race, by default that of his or her father, therefore mixed-race persons were solely grouped under their father's race in government censuses. From 2010 onward, people may register using a multi-racial classification, in which they may choose one primary race and one secondary race, but no more than two.[377]
Pink Dot SG, an event held in support of the LGBT community, has drawn thousands of people annually since 2009 with increasing attendance.[485] According to a survey conducted by the Institute of Policy Studies in 2019, Singaporean society has become more liberal on LGBT rights. In the survey, more than 20% of people said that sexual relations between adults of the same sex were not wrong at all or not wrong most of the time, up from 10% in 2013. The survey found that 27% felt the same way about same-sex marriage (an increase from 15% in 2013) and 30% did so about same-sex couples adopting a child (an increase from 24% in 2013).[486][487] In 2021, 6 Singaporeans protested for improved trans protections in the educational system outside the Ministry of Education headquarters at Buona Vista.[153]

It turned out that although groups with out-group newcomers felt less confident about the accuracy of their joint decisions, they were more likely to guess who the correct suspect was than those with newcomers who belonged to the same group.
The scientists think that diverse teams may outperform homogenous ones in decision making because they process information more carefully. Remember: Considering the perspective of an outsider may seem counterintuitive, but the payoff can be huge.
