1 Singapore

2 History Though much of the earliest history of singapore is lost, many chinese in the third century called it Pu-Lo-Chung or the Island at the End of the Peninsula but later to be known as Temasek or The Sea Town when the first of its settlements settled from AD. During the 14th century, according to legend, the island got a new name, which was Singapura (The Lion City), derived from the sanskrit words Simha (Lion) and Pura (City) when a prince from Palemberg named Sang Nila Utama, came on a hunting trip and saw a lion for the first time. Later the city was ruled by five kings. The city was a natural meeting point for sea routes and flourished as a trading post for many vessels like Chinese junks, Arab dhows, Portuguese battleships, and Buginese Schooners

5 Later during the 19th century is when modern Singapore came into fruition. At the time, the british were looking for a port in the region to base its merchant fleets and forestall any advance made by the Dutch and singapore seemed ideal. On January 29th, 1819 a man named Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore. Raffles saw the potential the island had and negotiated a treaty with the island s leaders and established Singapore as a trading station. The island grew in popularity as a major trading hub, attracting many immigrants from china, India, and many other places. In 1882 Raffles implemented the Raffles town plan to address the growing issue of disorderliness. Singapore continued to develop as a trading hub, establishing several banks, commercial associations, and Chambers of Commerce and in 1924, a causeway opened linking the northern part of singapore and Johor Bahru.

6 Later, Singapore s prosperity ended when it was attacked by the japanese during WWll. The attackers confused the british commanders by attacking from the north as they expected an attack by sea from the south. The allied forces eventually surrendered to the Japanese. It was the largest surrender of british led forces in history. Later when the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the island was given to the british military administration which remained in power until the dissolution of the Straits Settlement comprising Penang, Melaka and Singapore. In April 1946, Singapore became a British Crown Colony.

7 In 1959, with the rise of nationalism, the country led itself to self government and the country s first general election. Lee Kuan Yew became the first prime minister of Singapore. Later in 1963 Malaysia was formed, comprising of the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo. The move was meant to foster closer ties, however, Singapore s merging proved unsuccessful, and less than two years later on 9 August 1965, it left Malaysia to become an independent and sovereign democratic nation. Now today, much of the nation s colonial and wartime is preserved through monuments, memorials, and museums.

8 Culture Due to the country s history as a trade hub, it has many diverse cultures that inhabit it including chinese, Malay, and much european, which also influence many aspects about the country s lifestyles like food, spoken languages, music, and practiced religions, with pieces of all these cultures combined to influence all of these cultural aspects in Singapore.
