Looking back on the history of Singapore its hard not to sit back and rivet at all the progression and improvement that have made Singapore a more relaxing and astonishing haven and must-see destination. Starting chronologically, from the Sanskrit words “simha” (lion) and “pura” (city) Singapore or Singapura, the “lion City” shows the rich history and the beginning of a new era that Singapore went through, and describes the city-state and the city life of people whom live or visit Singapore. We then move into how the city-state flourished as a trading post for a lot of sea vessels, which include Chinese junks, Portuguese battleships, and Indian vessels. The nineteenth century was an important time for Singapore because it was when modern Singapore was founded. On January 29, 1819 Sir Thomas Raffles (the...

Geylang, although once seen as the red light district is now known for their great architecture, leggy street walkers, and some of the best local food on the island. With much different ethnic diversity, it makes the Geylang a must-go, on every tourist to do list. Zouk is one of the most popular and exhilarating nightlife activities that Singapore has to offer. Although compared to other nightlife dance clubs Zouk ends early, and even though it has a reputation of being modest ad prudent, it’s actually quite racy. If old enough it is advised to check out this side of Singapore not much see, or enjoy. The young, hipster climate attracts many whom want to dance the night away.
On the 15th of February in 1942 one of the biggest defeats of the British Empire was accomplished by the Japanese, Singapore was surrendered. The Fall of Singapore was relatively destructive to the relationship between Britain and Australia. Australia relied on Britain holding Singapore as it was the last defence against the Japanese and it was feared that Japan would go on and invade Australia if it fell, Australia openly showed that they could not rely on the British for defence by becoming a strong ally with America and asking them to help with the feared Japanese invasion. Australia feared the threat of invasion constantly throughout the war, when Singapore fell the Australian government predicted a certain attack by the Japanese.
Life is not always easy, at some point, people struggle in their life. People who are in the lower class have to struggle for a job every day and people who are in upper class also have their own problems to deal with. These ideas are very clear in Mary Oliver’s “Singapore”, Philip Schultz’s “Greed” and Philip Levine “What Work Is”. In "Singapore" a woman is likely lower class because she works at the airport and her job is to clean the bathroom. In both “Greed” and “What Work Is”, the speakers make the same conclusion about the struggle in the lower class. “Greed” furthermore discusses how Hispanics get a job first before whites and blacks because they take lower wages. All three poems deal with class in term of the society. The shared idea
Globalization refers to an ongoing process of economies and social integration of economies around the world (Thangavelu, 2010). The key drivers of globalization are trade and the movement of the capital and people. Thangavelu(2010) mentioned that Singapore has effectively used the drivers of globalization to develop its economy and integrate to the global marketplace since it independence. Singapore was able to achieve strong and continuous economic growth by opening up the immigrants to increase the domestic population, attracting foreign direct investment and adopting an export-driven economic strategy.
Today Malaysia and Singapore are geographically the same rich tropical and dynamic economy, with the same geographic problems. A health problem, with some endemic malaria, has been checked, which transformed their economy and way of life by understanding their environment. Almost eradicating malaria from their land shows what an understanding of geography and history can do.

From Chan’s satirical comic panel of “Singapore Story” (annex A), Liew depicts interviewer Wang Sha Sha and curator Ye Man Fong engaged in dialogue over Singapore’s history. While Wang is skeptical of “British imperialistic colonialism(‘s) “influence on Singapore, the pro-government Ye reassures him of the vital role which the British played in creating Singapore’s free port, enabling the inflow of immigrants from multiple backgrounds, building the foundation which ultimately led to Singapore’s unique multiculturalism. Through examining “Singapore Story” through the lens of Thongchai, I find that the Republic’s former colonial masters have played Thongchai’s envisioned “genealogical ancestors of nationalism” in Singapore’s context, essentially creating the groundwork for post-independent Singapore government to incorporate multiculturalism into the core identity of Singapore’s nation. By weaving the transformative narrative of Singapore in the comic strip, Liew demonstrates his art work’s nationalistic
Malaysia and Singapore go way back as they first started out as a country and eventually separating out to two different countries as Singapore was unhappy with the way Malaysia had decided to rule its country and it stated that Malaysia was a pro Malay country. With that Malaysia became an independent state.
...exhibits following Singapore’s independence were more geared towards the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) narrative of Singapore’s history, of how Lee Kuan Yew built the nation whose success we enjoy today. There seems to be a deliberate silencing of PAP’s political opponents. The exhibits from the 1960s onwards made no mention of political opponents. The exhibition comes to an abrupt end, where little is mentioned about Singapore’s progress during and beyond the 1970s, and it seems to suggest that Singapore’s history had come to an end with the economic success achieved during the 1970s, with successful nation-building represented by the 9th August video, which commemorates Singapore’s national day. This is the inherent weakness of the exhibition, where it lacks in the provision of the entire picture of Singapore’s history, of Singapore’s struggles post independence.
To have a modern look, the district was flooded with a myriad of lifestyle retailers, fashion boutiques, restaurants and cafes. This urban development means a lot more for Singapore’s Malay-Muslim community, as Kampong Glam has been their cultural centre for many years (Imran, 2005).
With its mishmash of old pre-war conservation flats, artisan cafes and fashion boutiques, today’s Tiong Bahru is Singapore’s capital of quirk. In contrast to the bustling streets of downtown Singapore, Tiong Bahru stands out
1. In 1810, Sir Stamford Raffles founded the island of Singapore and later claimed it in an attempt to create a trading post for the British. This trading post was located on the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, which was important for trade from East Asia and India. In the early 19th century, Malays, Chinese, and Indians came to Singapore to begin trade. The language spoken by these ethnicities affected one another and resulted in a choppy, sing-song version of the Queen’s English with heavy accents from the Hokkien, Malay, Cantonese, Tamil, and more.

Singapore. Is it an island, a city, or a state? Surprisingly, this exotic sounding name applies to all three. The island is a diamond shape. It is a diamond in the sea, sparkling with bright lights at night, and a gem of great value to the world with its important port, and financial center of the world. It is one of the largest in the world. It is necessary for Senior Enlisted Leaders (SEL) to understand the importance of economics and the military strategic for the United States military because Singapore plays a major part of east politically and economically and the headquarters of the Commander, Logistics Group Western Pacific (COMLOG WESTPAC) and the Commander, Destroyer Squadron Seven for the United States Navy.
