Extractions: Singapore History Written accounts of the early history of Singapore are sketchy and the names used to refer to the country are varied. In the third century, a Chinese account gave reference to Singapore as Pu-luo-chung, or "island at the end of a peninsula". In 1320, however, the Mongol court sent a mission to a place called Long Yamen (Dragon's Tooth Strait) to get elephants. This probably referred to Keppel Harbour. A visitor from China, Wang Dayuan, who came around 1330, called the main settlement Pancur (spring), and reported that there were Chinese already living here. One of the earliest references to Singapore as Temasek, or Sea Town, was found in the Javanese Nagarakretagama' of 1365. The name was also mentioned in a Vietnamese source at around the same time. By the end of the 14th century, the Sanskrit name, Singapura (Lion City), became commonly used. At that time, Singapore was caught in the struggles between Siam (now Thailand) and the Java-based Majapahit Empire for control over the Malay Peninsula. According to the Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals), Singapore was defeated in one Majapahit attack, but Iskandar Shah, or Parameswara, a prince of Palembang, later killed the local chieftain and installed himself as the island's new ruler. Shortly after, he was driven out, either by the Siamese or by the Javanese forces of the Majapahit Empire. He fled north to Muar in the Malay Peninsula, where he founded the Malacca Sultanate. Singapore remained an important part of the Malacca Sultanate; it was the fief of the admirals (laksamanas), including the famous Hang Tuah.

http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/south_east_asia/singapore/history.htm

Extractions: Singapore According to Malay legend, a Sumatran prince encountered a lion - considered a good omen - on Temasek, prompting him to found Singapura, or Lion City. It mattered little that lions had never inhabited Singapore (more likely the prince had seen a tiger); what did matter was the establishment of the region as a minor trading post for the powerful Sumatran Srivijaya empire and as a subsequent vassal state of the Javanese Majapahit empire in the mid-13th century. Singapore might have remained a quiet backwater if not for Sir Stamford Raffles' intervention in 1819. The British had first established a presence in the Straits of Melaka (now called Malacca) in the 18th century when the East India Company set out to secure and protect its line of trade from China to the colonies in India. Fearing another resurgence of expansionism in the Dutch - which had been the dominant European trading power in the region for nearly 200 years - Raffles argued for an increased British presence, which he was promptly given. Under his tutelage, Singapore's forlorn reputation as a fetid, disease-ridden colony was soon forgotten. Migrants attracted by a tariff-free port poured in by the thousands, and a flourishing colony with a military and naval base was established. Singapore's inexorable growth continued into the 20th century. However, the outbreak of WWII brutally exposed the fallacy of British might: they suffered the ignominy of defeat when Japan invaded the colony in 1941. The British were welcomed back after Japan's surrender in 1945, but their right to rule was no longer assured.

http://www.nationbynation.com/Singapore/History1.html

Extractions: BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY ... SINGAPORE The East India Company founded Singapore in 1819, coming under the control of the British crown 6 years later. Its superior harbor made it an important port for trade in the area. The Japanese occupied Singapore during World War II but the British regained control in 1945. In 1945, it became a British colony. Fourteen years later, Singapore was declared a self-governing parliamentary democracy as part of the British Commonwealth. Independence was achieved in 1965. The same prime minister served from 1965 until his resignation in 1990 and he oversaw Singapore's growth to economic powerhouse status in Asia (and also its position as an enormously authoritarian country, strictly governed and maintained.) Through a long history linked to the Czechs, Slovakia spent a millennium under Hungarian domination. In the 20th century, Slovakia became part of a newly-created Czechoslovakia prior to World War II. A brief 'independent' moment existed as the Nazis permitted 'Slovakia' to exist from early 1940. The country, led by Magr Tiso, allowed the expulsion and destruction of more than 60,000 Jews during World War II. In 1948, Czechoslovakia came under Communist domination, which would persist until the final break between the Czechs and the Slovaks in the early 1990s.

Extractions: Privacy Statement Singapore might have remained another sleepy Malaysian backwater if not for Sir Stamford Raffles, who established the East India Company in Singapore in 1819 and began the city's status as a free port. As thousands of Chinese, Indians and Malays flocked to the island, Raffles maintained control by segregating the city into ethnic neighborhoods: the Chinese in Chinatown, Indians in Little India and Muslims in Arab Street. This division had the unintended effect of preserving the distinct cultures you can find there today. The country remained under the control of the British until it was captured by the Japanese at the start of World War II - one of the most embarrassing defeats in British history. After the war, the Allies' plan to unite Singapore with Malaysia was scuttled by Malaysian nationalist groups who feared that the ethnic Chinese would dominate the less populous Malays. The plan for a union was revived in the 1950s by Singapore's president, Lee Kuan Yew, who believed his country could not survive without the natural resources of Malaysia. Lee realized his dream in 1963 when Singapore was united with Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak. But the union lasted only 23 months - Malay leaders, shocked to see Lee's party attempt to become a national force, unceremoniously tossed Singapore out of the republic.

Extractions: Ernest Chew has graciously shared this essay, which first appeared in Raffles Town Club Despite Farquhar's attempts to stake his claim as the founder of the British settlement of Singapore, it was Raffles who received most of the credit and recognition from his widow's Memoir of 1830 to Boulger's biography of 1897, to the various biographical studies of the 20th century from Egerton and Coupland to Wurtzburg and Collis. In Singapore Stamford Raffles is commemorated by various road and place names, and institutions. The solitary street named after Farquhar, in the Kampong Glam area, has disappeared with urban renewal. This was actually near the property that Farquhar bequeathed to his local Eurasian mistress and their children, his first family. He later married a Scottish lady in 1828, and had another family for details (Bastin 19-20). However, some historians of Singapore have tried to redress the balance. Ironically, it was a former Raffles Professor of History, Dr Ken Tregonning, who championed Farquhar at Raffles' expense. Tregonning wrote:
