Despite the fact that Singapore inherits many things from Britain by dint of its former colonisation, Singapore does not use the UK Keyboard layout but uses the US Keyboard layout instead, resulting in many hastily misdirected emails due to the movement of the @ sign across the keyboard. However, this is probably because we don't use the pound (£) symbol.
Most keyboards outside of Europe do not have the AltGr Key or the Euro symbol.
AltGr Key
The AltGr Key allows one to type in Polish, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Latvian, Macedonian, German, and French. Groovy.
