Feeling all weird without touching comp so here I am, again on comp, but for a good cause this time.

HistoryChapter 1: Was there Singapore before 1819?- Singapore used to be called Temasek. ( Sea Town)
- The Sejarah Melayu (Malay Annals) is written by Munshi Abdullah.
- It says that Sang Utama, a ruler of Palembang in Sumatra, founded a settlement in Temasek.
- Indra Bopal: the minister who told Sang Utama that the land is known as Temasek.
- Demang Lebar Daun: the minister who said that the breast was known as a lion.
- Singapura grew into a thriving trading centre, which was envied by the Majapahit Empire, under the wise leadership of Sang Utama and his descendants.
- Batara, the ruler of the Majapahit Empire, attacked Singapura, but in the end they were chased out by the locals.
- Majapahit was founded by Vijaya.
- According to Wang Dayuan, a Chinese trader, Singapura was a bustling trading centre in the 1330s and 1340s.
- Artefacts like blue-and-white porcelain, compass, wine cups and coins were found in Fort Canning.
- Towards the end of 14th century, Parameswara from Palembang in Sumatra came to Singapura and killed the local ruler, making himself the new ruler.
- He was later chased out, and Singapura lost its importance as a trading port, as it is replaced by Melaka, which took away the trade.
