Many ppl really got the meaning of Singapura wrong! Firstly, Singa pura like we all know, could simply mean Lion(singa) City(pura), but this phrase was actually given by a hindu prince frm mainland Java(bear in mind tht originally, majority malay descended frm polytheists especially Hindu religion b4 Islam set its roots in this archipelago). Indonesia used to be so diverse in culture and races including its many languages tht transcends all sections of faith n groups of community....
.... to the best of my knowledge, there were NO lions to be found on this island except tht frm the lion puppets from Hindu n Buddhists religions. Sang Nila Utama was a hindu prince n he named this island NOT from any live lion tht he spotted. He probably named this island frm religious perspective(any Hindu or Buddhist should know what the lion symbolises in this religion), OR Singapura could also mean Singgah(stopover) Pura(city). A city for stopover during his journeys.
chinese are from china,indian are from india,thais are from thailand n malay are from the malay archipelago(malay penisular,java,sumatra,borneo,and all the surrounding island)
(2) The Government shall exercise its functions in such manner as to recognise the special position of the Malays, who are the indigenous people of Singapore, and accordingly it shall be the responsibility of the Government to protect, safeguard, support, foster and promote their political, educational, religious, economic, social and cultural interests and the Malay language.
Theres no meaning In Singapore..It should be call Singapura..Lion city..SIngapore doesnt have any meaning..err..Chinese are changing everything from malay..
Im a malay. Seriously even though we were once a malay island. Do you think without the help of th immigrants we will ever be as successful as we are today?? Even so i dont think being rascist will bring us anywhere... Throw the mats and ahbengs; and we have the ideal society
@blackmondae What do u know bout malay language? Singa pura is not even an original malay language. Where d u think malays come from? We used to be ppl of many cultures, races and language in this archipelago and united as malays. Singapura was named by a Hindu prince and it could either mean Lion city or could mean Singgah Pura, a stopover city. Lions, dragons etc, has been an important role in Hindu n Buddhist religion.... so i bet this island could have been named based on religious grounds.
Hey guys.. The point is that History is something to learn from. Ignorance of it will lead to comments like what davidtoh8 has clearly shown - self incompetency and insipid intelligence.
Singapore was and will forever have its roots and heritage of the Malays - the indigenious population. However, due to our very hospitable nature, we must now endure and learn to live with these insipid tribes like davidtoh83.
Heritage , my barbaric friend, can never be eroded - nomatter your tribe's effort
Well said..I tried researching bout Singpore.Its Rly funny tht even its roots and heritage is Mlay..More than the population is Chinese and lots of the Governments are Chinese.I respect Sgpore's history.
