Pre Colonial Times of Singapore

Singapore, one of the most prosperous nations of the world is located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. This article chiefly focuses on the Pre - Colonial Times of Singapore.

If we try to find out about the Pre Colonial Times of Singapore, history tells us that the first reference of Singapore is to be found in an account that spoke about Singapore but the language that has been used for this document is Chinese. This document was written during the 3rd century and the most relevant fact associated with this article as far as the History of Singapore is concerned is that this article /document adverts to Singapore as "Pu-luo-chung", which means an island that lies at the end of the Peninsula.
If you refer to this article with the thought that you would acquire some information about the glorious past of Singapore then you are truly mistaken as it negates the splendid past of this nation.

Later, that is during the 14th century Singapore was taken in by the Sri Vijayan Empire and was referred to as the 'Temasek' meaning Sea Town. The grounds on which it came to be referred so is that all the routes of the sea merged at this point or it would be better to say that it came to be regarded as a point where the travelers could get acquainted with the other travelers who took the sea route.

Another most important fact associated with the Pre Colonial Times of Singapore is that during the 11th century it earned the name 'Singa Pura' meaning Lion City. The story that is responsible for this name is that, Malay Ammals, a prince mistook an animal for a lion and hence the name 'Singa Pura'. Eventually 'Singa Pura' came to be known as Singapore.
