新加坡的歷史 - 意外建國

by Discovery Channel

两百年不到的时间，新加坡从一片繁茂的红树林成长为一个繁忙的大都会，它也因此而与香港、韩国和台湾并称"亚洲四小龙"。这个自然资源匮乏、当地人口稀少的小岛，如何异军­突起以展现自己异常强大的经济实力？Discovery探索频道将推出三集系列专辑「新加坡的历史」，详述新加坡历史上的各个重要时刻，追踪新加坡如何完成不可思议的转型 － 从最早一个毫不起眼的小渔村到英国统治下一个飞速发展的贸易港，并汇集新加坡的特性中不断变化的积极因素，因其原本就脱胎于移民后裔的社会。

意外建国

　　随着孙中山的到来，民族主义于1901年传播到了新加坡。上世纪三十年代，日本侵略中国进一步点燃了民族主义的怒火，从而引发了一场民族主义情绪的大宣泄。不久之后，日本­袭击新加坡岛，英国人于1942年2月投降，新加坡就此沦陷。战后的英国，显然已不具备老牌帝国的实力，该轮到新加坡人来填补政治真空了。新一代职业阶层人士如李光耀，成­为了第一批新加坡民族主义者，他们心目中的祖国，既不是中国也不是印度，而是新加坡。我们将追踪上世纪五十年代的新加坡政治风云变化，尤其是李光耀与林清祥之间的信仰之争­。观众将从中了解到新加坡与马来西亚之间的关系、新加坡如何脱离马来西亚以及新加坡的最终建国 － 成为一个独立的政府和国家。

Singapore (Chinese: 新加坡; pinyin: Xīnjiāpō; in Malay: Singapura; in Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர், Cingkappūr), officially the Republic of Singapore, is an island country located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It lies 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands. At 707.1 km2 (273.0 sq mi), Singapore is one of three remaining true city-states in the world. It is the smallest nation in Southeast Asia. Prior to European settlement, the island now known as Singapore was the site of a Malay fishing village at the mouth of the Singapore River. Several hundred indigenous Orang Laut people also lived along the nearby coast, rivers and on smaller islands. In 1819 the British East India Company established a trading post on the island, which was used thereafter as a strategic trading post along the spice route.[4] Singapore would become one of the most important commercial and military centres of the British Empire, and the hub of British power in Southeast Asia. The city was occupied by the Japanese during World War II, which Winston Churchill called "Britain's greatest defeat".[5] Singapore reverted to British rule immediately postwar, in 1945. Eighteen years later the city, having achieved independence from Britain, merged with Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak to form Malaysia. However, less than two years later it seceded from the federation and became an independent republic on 9 August 1965. Singapore joined the United Nations on 21 September that same year. Since independence, Singapore's standard of living has been on the rise. Foreign direct investment and a state-led drive to industrialization based on plans drawn up by the Dutch economist Albert Winsemius have created a modern economy focused on electronics manufacturing, petrochemicals, tourism and financial services alongside traditional entrepôt trade. Singapore is the 6th wealthiest country in the world in terms of GDP per capita.[6] The small nation has foreign exchange reserves of more than US$177 billion.[7] The population of Singapore is approximately 4.59 million.[2] Though Singapore is highly cosmopolitan and diverse, ethnic Chinese form the majority of the population. English is the administrative language of the country. The Constitution of the Republic of Singapore established the nation's political system as a representative democracy, while the country is recognized as a parliamentary republic.[8] The People's Action Party (PAP) dominates the political process and has won control of Parliament in every election since self-government in 1959.

I LOVE SINGAPORE!!!

[limwk007]

You should travel more and you will appreciate how excellent Singapore is

My allegiance does not lie with china

[Beginningless]

Singapore USED TO BE good.

Not anymore.

Humans change; so do political parties. So do government, and its policies, and its directions.

So don't be naive and gullible, and think that our government will NOT change, and forever will be looking after our welfare.

Before you know it, they are already at the verge of selling you to some foriegn powers in exchange for their own benefits.

Time to wake up, foolish Singaporeans!!!

Is a money sucker government..suck from citizens..alot of conspiracy..cover up..no freedom..one family ruling country... Im from sg..

[karmlan123]

I agree Singapore was a great nation, BUT from the recent 10 years, it has changed gradually to a shit hole. It take care of foreigners and make them stay as citizens and give them good jobs while ignoring and suck-up local Singaporean dry. Last time I was proud when at overseas, now I'm ashamed and regret deeply for being naive.
