The history of Singapore is an epic filled with magnificent romance, spice trade, pirate legends, colonial overtones and the blood and tears of growth.

In the seventh century AD, Singapore was called "TEMASEK" and was the trading center of the five dynasties of Sumatra's ancient empire, Srivijaya. In the 18th century AD, Singapore had a new name "Singapura", which means "Lion City". A century later, Singapura became a bloody battlefield between military strategists. After the war, Singapore was abandoned by all parties, and all the houses were destroyed and turned into a jungle. From then on, Singapore fell into silence until the 17th century AD. In 1819, the British Sir Stamford Raffles landed on the banks of the Singapore River. Pirates were rampant at that time. He believed that Singapore was the most ideal British overseas trade base. Raffles's ideal of building Singapore into a free port was gradually realized. In the following hundreds of years, Singapore prospered. Many immigrants who worked hard to pursue personal happiness regarded Singapore as their ideal Asian paradise.
