A Singh found Singapore.
Since when did we learnt or mentioned a muslim founded Singapura?Originally posted by banzie:No lah the real bunch of people who founded Singapore is the oran luat. Anyway That time osama utama mistook for a lion. It wasn't a lion. Coz Singapore got no lion. So How do they know about Lion. Its from India. That time This part of the world is already influenced by the India and buddhism not muslim. If to say the Indians and the Chinese found Singapore first. But again what they meant is who is the person who founded MORDERN Singapore. I guess its Raffles, his the first though. His the one who started Singapore as a fishing port.

Version 1 : When Raffles stepped out of his boat on to Boat Quay, a man was running by announcing the birth of his son in hokkien. 'see ta poh, see ta poh'
Version 2 : I thought the story was like this : The malay/indian king, Parameswara, was sleeping under a tree and was dreaming. He was rudely awakened by an animal resembling a lion. So, out of shock, he screamed ' Singa porda ! Singa porda ' (which means, 'lion, get lost!')
Version 3 : When Raffles sailed up the Singapore river for the first time, a malay lady was bathing in the river, having left her clothes on the river bank. A singh came by and stole her clothes. The upset lady started shouting after him, 'Singh Kapoh, Singh Kapoh'...![]()
