Look at picture number 4. Click on it so you can have a closer look or open it in a new window. Read what it says...<br /><br />Origin of Singapore<br /><br />Archaeological research has shown that ancient descriptions of Singapore as a large and prosperous port where CHINESE, Malay and Indian merchants lived are accurate.<br /><br />Look at the choice of words and order. Chinese is put first followed by Malay and Indian whereelse we know for sure it was a Malay kingdom. So they admitted there was an ancient kingdom in Singapore long before Raffles but they diminished the importance of the Malays and put Chinese first! <br /><br />You should go there yourself and read the rest of the information. I didn't take more pictures as I was pissed off. In short, while they admit the existence of an old kingdom, at every chance they would try to make the Chinese as the most important component. And thus the old Malay kingdom of Singapore is said to be a port where the Chinese people used to stop at... again its alway about Chinese first when the reality is different.Radzi Sapieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07561947015813731596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37677485.post-34884582172564203502012-02-04T15:53:00.109+08:002012-02-04T15:53:00.109+08:00So, what are the things that stated there?
