I have created the list like below

        <select name="country" id = "country">
            <option value="">Select One</option>
            <?php foreach($all_countries as $scountry) {?>
            <option value="<?php echo $scountry->country_id;?>"> <?php echo $scountry->country_name;?></option>
            <?php } ?>
          </select>

But I am unable to select Singapore as default country , how should I do it , please guide me ?
