Site Map General Info Geography l History l People l Politics History Singapore was first mentioned in a 3rd Century Chinese account, which described it as "Pu-luo-chung", or island at the end of the peninsula. In the 7th Century, a Malayan Buddhist Empire was established on the island of Sumatra. Temasek (Sea Town) as Singapore was then known, was a prosperous trading outpost of this empire. However, it is said that in the 13th Century, a member of the Royal family, Sang Nila Utama, was searching for a site to build a new city. Arriving at the sandy shores of the island, he mistook a tiger for a lion. Taking this as a good omen, he decided to build his new city here, naming it Singapura, the Sanskrit words for Lion City. Singapore's modern name was thus born. During World War II in 1942, the security was rudely shattered when the Japanese invaded North Malaya and advanced towards Singapore. The British administration in Singapore surrendered on February 8, 1942. Under the Japanese ruling, Singapore was renamed Syonan (light of the South), and the commerce died down.

South-East Asia /Singapore SINGAPORE History and Government History: For centuries before Sir Stamford Raffles acquired it from the Sultan of Johor in 1819, Singapore had been virtually abandoned. However, within decades of the change of ownership, in a historical echo of its role today, Singapore had become the main commercial and strategic centre for the region. In 1867, it became a British Crown Colony and housed one of the UK’s most important naval bases. This status remained unchanged until 1942 when the Japanese army swept down through Malaya and occupied the colony. 3.5 years later the Japanese surrendered in Singapore and the colony assumed its previous status. With the dissolution of the British Empire, Singapore was granted internal self-government in 1959. In 1963, Singapore joined the Federation of Malaysia, but in 1965 broke away from the collapsing federation to become fully independent. Two years later, Singapore was expelled when Lee Kuan Yew, first elected Prime Minister in 1959 and re-elected eight times thereafter, refused to implement a federal edict granting Malays a privileged economic position (to the disadvantage of the ethnic Chinese population). The initial outlook was unpromising: Singapore is tiny and has no natural resources apart from a good harbour. However, Lee managed to galvanise the population into building a strong, export-led manufacturing and service economy. Lee Kuan Yew and his political vehicle, the People’s Action Party (PAP), enjoyed a virtual monopoly of political power from 1972 until Lee’s announcement in 1988 that he would not complete his eighth term nor seek subsequent office.

Country Info Singapore Introduction Singapore General Data Singapore Maps Singapore Culture ... Singapore Time and Date Singapore History Back to Top In 1818 Singapore was settled by a Malay official of the Johore Sultanate and his followers, who shared the island with several hundred indigenous tribespeople and some Chinese planters. The following year, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, an official of the British East India Company, arrived in Singapore and secured permission from its Malay rulers to establish a trading post on the island. Named by Raffles for its ancient predecessor, Singapore quickly became a successful port open to free trade and free immigration. Before the trading post's founding, the Dutch had a monopoly on the lucrative three-way trade among China, India, and the East Indies. Now Indian, Arab, European, Chinese, Thai, Javanese, and Bugis traders alike stopped in their passage through the Strait of Malacca to anchor in the excellent harbor and exchange their wares. Malays, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, and Europeans flocked to the growing settlement to make their fortunes servicing the needs of the sea traders. The next half century brought increased prosperity, along with the growing pains of a rapidly expanding seaport with a widely diverse population. During this period Singapore, Penang, and Malacca were ruled together as the Straits Settlements from the British East India Company headquarters in India. In 1867, when Singapore was a bustling seaport of 85,000 people, the Straits Settlements was made a crown colony ruled directly from London. Singapore continued to grow and prosper as a crown colony. The opening of the Suez Canal, the advent of steamships, the expansion of colonialism in Southeast Asia, and the continuing spread of British influence in Malaya combined to establish Singapore's position as an important trade and manufacturing center in the late nineteenth century.

History Singapore Table of Contents Precolonial Era Located astride the sea routes between China and India, from ancient times the Malay Archipelago served as an entrepôt, supply point, and rendezvous for the sea traders of the kingdoms and empires of the Asian mainland and the Indian subcontinent. The trade winds of the South China Sea brought Chinese junks laden with silks, damasks, porcelain, pottery, and iron to seaports that flourished on the Malay Peninsula and the islands of Sumatra and Java. There they met with Indian and Arab ships, brought by the monsoons of the Indian Ocean, carrying cotton textiles, Venetian glass, incense, and metalware. Fleets of swift prahu (interisland craft) supplied fish, fruit, and rice from Java and pepper and spices from the Moluccas in the eastern part of the archipelago. All who came brought not only their trade goods but also their cultures, languages, religions, and technologies for exchange in the bazaars of this great crossroads. In time, the ports of the peninsula and archipelago formed the nucleus of a succession of seabased kingdoms, empires, and sultanates. By the late seventh century, the great maritime Srivijaya Empire, with its capital at Palembang in eastern Sumatra, had extended its rule over much of the peninsula and archipelago. Historians believe that the island of Singapore was probably the site of a minor port of Srivijaya.

History In Brief Early records of Singapore are vague, though it seems to have been a small seaport during the period when the mighty Sumatran Sri Vijaya Empire ruled the whole region. According to the 16th-century Sejarah Melayu, or 'Malay Annals', Temasek, as it was then known, was a flourishing trading post in the 14th century. However, a contemporary Chinese account describes it as a pirate island. It was briefly ruled by the Sumatran prince Parameswara, but invasions by the Thais and Javanese in the 1390s drove him to flee north to Melaka to found the Malay Sultanate there. Singa Pura remained undeveloped until the arrival of Thomas Stamford Raffles. Gazing over the Singapore River up which he sailed in January 1819 stands this white marble statue of Thomas Stamford Raffles, the city's visionary founder.

Singapore's History Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles, a 19th century British civil servant. He worked for the British East India Company and was looking for a trading post to counter the Dutch influence in the Southeast Asian region. Singapore was at the time only a tiny Malay fishing village, but proved to be the ideal spot due to the perfect geographical location. Singapore was at the crossroads of the East and West.

menuSelected=-1; prefix="../"; Oct 2001 Issue Digging up Singapore's history Associate Professor John Miksic, 54, recently led a team on an archaeological dig at the Bras Basah Park between Waterloo and Queen Street. The team discovered the brick foundations of a 19th century prison built, unexpectedly, on a swamp. Knowledge Enterprise spoke to Singapore's pioneer archaeologist, who lectures and researches on Southeast Asian studies in NUS. Assoc Prof John Miksic (left) with Mr Ridzwan Dzafir, head of the Malay Heritage Board. KE: Besides Bras Basah, where in Singapore have you dug and what are some of your interesting archaeological discoveries? JM: I've dug at Fort Canning, and continue to dig there. The hill was probably a palace in the 14th century; it contains many unusual artifacts, both local and Chinese. I dug at the site of the new Parliament House in 1994-95 and at Empress Place in 1998. All three sites yielded large quantities of artifacts dating back to the 14th century locally made pottery, Chinese porcelain and stoneware, coins, glass, etc. Colonial period sites I've dug include Duxton Hill, Istana Kampung Gelam, and now Bras Basah. There are many more potential sites, in particular in the area between the Esplanade, Stamford Road, Fort Canning, and the Singapore River.
