    1. Ancient Singapore:

    There are few texts that record the early history of Singapore, and there are many different titles. In the third century, the Chinese called Singapore Puluozhong, meaning "island at the end of the peninsula". In 1320, the Yuan Dynasty sent people to look for elephants at a place called "Longya Gate", which may have referred to the port of Qiba.

    Around 1330, a Chinese named Wang Dayuan arrived, called the settlement pancur (meaning dragonhead), and said that there were already Chinese living here. The earliest reference to Singapore as Temasek (or Sea City) appeared in 1365 in the Javanese Ode to History. It was not until the end of the 14th century that the Sanskrit name "Singapore Ra" (Lion City) became a common name.

    It was at that time that Singapore was embroiled in wars between Siam (present-day Thailand) and the Java kingdoms of Majapahit for control of the Malay Peninsula. Later, Singapore has been an important part of the Kingdom of Malacca.

    2. The establishment of modern Singapore

    The British wanted to find a ** port in the region. Thus, in Singapore, on 29 January 1819, Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore after inspecting other nearby islands. Later, he signed a formal treaty with the Sultan Hushin of Johor and the Thien Meng Gong to rule Singapore.

    In 1824, two new treaties made Singapore a British dependency.

    3. Urban development

    Singapore, along with the two British colonies of the Malay Peninsula – Malacca and Penang – became Straits Settlements in 1826 and came under the jurisdiction of British India. By 1832, Singapore had become the administrative center of the three places.

    In the early hours of December 8, 1941, Japanese planes bombed the sleeping city. On February 5, 1942, Singapore was occupied by the Japanese army, renamed Chaonan Island, and fell for three and a half years.

    The island was originally a small island under the jurisdiction of the Sultan of Johor in the Malay Peninsula. In 1819, the Englishman Stamford Raffles arrived in Singapore, signed a contract with the Sultan of Johor, and began to set up a new ** station. In 1824, it became a British colony and became a British entrepot in the Far East and a major military base in Southeast Asia.

    In 1826, Singapore, Penang and Malacca formed the British Straits Settlements. On 1 April 1946, the Straits Settlements were dissolved and Singapore became an independent British Crown Colony with jurisdiction over the Cocos Islands and Christmas Island until they were transferred to Australia in 1955 and 1957 respectively. Penang joins the nine states of the Union of Malacca and Malaya to form the Federation of Malaya.

    In 1959, Singapore became a self-governing state, but the United Kingdom retained the powers of national defense, foreign affairs, constitutional amendment, and declaration of emergency. On 16 September 1963, Singapore, Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak joined together to form the Federation of Malaysia. Due to Malaysia's ruling UMNO's racial policy of discriminating against the Chinese, Singapore, which is mainly Chinese, was forced to secede from Malaysia on August 9, 1965 and form the Republic of Singapore. It became a member of the United Nations in September of the same year and joined the Commonwealth in October.

    Singapore was kicked out by Malaysia and forced to become an independent state.

    After World War II, the British colony wanted to establish an independent state, initially including Singapore. But the Malays couldn't hold Lee Kuan Yew. The Malays said that Malaysia is the Malaysia of the Malays, and Lee Kuan Yew said that Malaysia is the Malaysia of all Malaysians, which means that Malaysia is also a country of Chinese, and then it also received support including some of the Machang Xian people.

    The Malays, in order to secure their status as the majority nation, did not hesitate to lose territory and kicked Lee Kuan Yew and his Singapore out of the federal state.

    There are five major cities in Singapore, namely the Central Region, the East Region, the West Region, the North Region and the North-East Region.

    Central is Singapore's commercial and financial hub and home to the country. Famous attractions in Central include Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, Sentosa Island, etc. The East and Northeast Regions are residential areas that offer comfortable and convenient accommodations and beautiful beach views, as well as great food and shopping.

    Those who live in the Eastern District also have easy access to Changi Airport. The Western District is known for its rich cultural and historical attractions, including the Singapore Zoo and Yue Wah National Temple. The North District is an educational and industrial center, with a number of higher education institutions and industrial parks.

    In addition, Singapore's residential areas and commercial hubs are also spread across these five major cities.

    It is worth mentioning that Singapore's urban planning is excellent, and the transportation is very convenient, whether it is the subway, bus or taxi. In addition, Singapore has excellent public facilities and services, with access to world-class medical facilities and first-class communication facilities within the city.

    In short, Singapore's five major cities have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they all offer first-class experiences in terms of business, finance, housing, culture, and tourism. <>
