Travel To Singapore

History of Singapore

The first time Singapore was mentioned was a 3rd century Chinese account in which Singapore was described as "Pu-luo-chung" which means the island at the end of a peninsula. But there is little known about the history of Singapore.

In the 14th century, was part of an empire and known as Temasek which means seatown. Singapore is located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula and therefore an important meeting point for sea craft, Chinese junks and Indian vessels.

Singapore's official history dates from the 11th century, but the island was little known to the West until the 19th century, when in 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles arrived as an agent of the British East India Company. In 1824, the British purchased Singapore Island and a year later Singapore has become a major port with trade exceeding all the surrounding countries together. Over the years it became more and more prosperous. Through the demand of rubber from Southeast Asia which was used for the packaging industry's needs for tin helped Singapore to become one of the world's major ports.
From 1959 to 1965 Singapore was a self-government and in 1965 it became an independent republic.

Demographics of Singapore

Singapore is an own State and has a population of about 5 million. Singapore is one of the most populated independent countries in the world. Singapore is a multiracial country with a majority population of Chinese, with a substantial Malay population and Indian minorities. In this small country are living in peaceful harmony Mahayana Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and no religion at all. It is surprising how many religions can leave together in a small country without having
major problems.

The country has four official languages, whereas Malay is the national language and English is the working or business language.
