Regex , split string into array vb.net

Question

I have an address as string and i want to show it in 2 lines , for example address

 A Building 10 mynew Road Singapore 208718

I want to show as follows ,

A Building 10 mynew Road
Singapore 208718

I have done it in a following way ,

Dim parts1 As String() = Regex.Split(addr, "singapore", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
 If (parts.Length > 1) Then
    addr = parts(0) + "<br/> Singapore" + parts(1)
 End If

But the problem i have is , the text Singapore may come as S'pore as well , in this time how I can split with regular expression ?

Converting my comment to answer so that solution is easy to find for future visitors.

You may use this regex with an alternation:

"[Ss](?:inga|')pore"

RegEx Details:

[Ss] matches letter s or S
(?:inga|'): matches text inga or '
pore: Matches text pore

I'm just curious to know what does ?:inga means , is it a global search ?

(?:...) is a non-capture group. See details
