Buddhism is the largest religion in Singapore, practiced by approximately 31.1% of the population as of 2020.[1] As per the census, out of 3,459,093 Singaporeans polled, 1,074,159 of them identified themselves as Buddhists.[1]
Buddhism was introduced in Singapore primarily by migrants from around the world over the past centuries. The first recorded histories of the Indian religion in Singapore can be observed in early monasteries and temples such as Thian Hock Keng and Jin Long Si Temple that were built by settlers that came from various parts of Asia.
There are a variety of Buddhist organizations in Singapore, with the more predominant authorities being established ones such as the Singapore Buddhist Federation (SBF).
