The majority of Pakistanis in Singapore enter the country as university students. More than 100 Pakistani students study in the National University of Singapore alone.〔(Mercy Relief targets more donations for Pakistan flood victims )〕 In 2009, 22,300 Pakistanis visited Singapore〔http://www.singstat.gov.sg/pubn/reference/yos10/statsT-tourism.pdf〕 for tourism. Pakistanis living in Johor Bahru also use Singapore for their transit route for international travel, because of cheaper travel cost and shorter travel time duration travelling from the Singapore Changi Airport, as opposed to the nearest major Malaysian international airport in Kuala Lumpur, the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Many protective laws exist in Singapore. ==Culture== Pakistanis in Singapore generally come from a middle-class background, with the majority working in engineering and business fields. Most Pakistani groceries, foodstuff, and restaurants can be found in Little India. Pakistanis in Singapore sometimes speak the Singaporean Malay language, in addition to English and Urdu. There is also a Singapore Urdu Development Centre offering classes in Urdu language to the children of Pakistanis, whereas Singapore Pakistani Association 〔(Singapore Pakistani Association )〕 promotes Pakistani culture in Singapore in collaboration with the Pakistan high commission in Singapore.〔(PR No. 281 PRESS RELEASE, Islamabad, January 28, 2010 )〕 Singapore has also named one of its roads after Pakistan, the Pakistan Road in Sembawang.〔(Map of Pakistan Road )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pakistanis in Singapore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
