A brief history of Singapore

According to legend Singapore was founded centuries ago when a prince from Sumatra landed
on the island and saw a lion. He took it as a good omen and founded a city called Singapura,
which means lion city. The legend may or may not be true. In fact the name Singapura was not
recorded until the 16th century and Singapore was really only a trading post with a small
population not a city.

Modern Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Stamford Raffles (1781-1826). Raffles became a
clerk for the British East India Company in 1795. He rose rapidly in the company. In 1805 he
was sent to Penang and in 1811 he was made Lieutenant Governor of Java.

In 1818 Raffles was made governor of Bencoolen on the island of Sumatra. Raffles believed the
British should establish a base on the Straits of Melaka and in 1819 he landed on the island of
Singapore. The island consisted of swamps and jungle with a small population but Raffles
realized it could be made into a useful port.
At that time two men were vying to become Sultan of the Empire of Johor, which controlled
Singapore. In 1812 the Sultan died and his two sons quarreled over the succession. Raffles
supported the older brother Hussein and recognized him as Sultan. Raffles made a deal with him.
The British East India Company was given Singapore in return for an annual payment. In 1824
the Company was given the island in return for a lump sum of money.

The British established a new trading post at Singapore and it grew very rapidly. As well as
Europeans, Malays, Chinese, Indians and Arabs came to live and work there. By 1824 the
population had risen to 10,000.

In 1826 Singapore was joined with Melaka and Penang to form the Straits Settlements. In 1867
Singapore became a Crown Colony ruled directly by the British government rather than the East
India Company. By 1870 the population of Singapore had risen to 100,000.
Many grand buildings were erected in Singapore in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Among
them was the Victoria Theatre & Concert Hall, which was built in 1862.

Several temples were built at that time including the Thian Hock Keng Temple, which was built
in 1842. The Sri Mariamman Temple was first built in 1823 but it was rebuilt in 1843. The Sri
Srinivasa Perumal Temple was built in 1855. The Leong San See Temple was built in 1917. The
Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple was built in 1927.

When the Suez canal was built in 1869 Singapore became even more important as a 'gateway'
between Europe and eastern Asia.

The Good Stepmother

The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house. She planned to eat them
both. Each night the children cried and begged the witch to let them go.

Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to wish she had never tried to get rid of the
children. “I must find them,” she said and set off into the forest.

Many hours later, when her feet were tired from walking and her lips were dry from thirst, she
came to the cottage belonging to the witch. The stepmother peeped through the window. Her
heart cried out when she saw the two children.

She picked up the broom leaning against the door and crept inside. The witch was putting some
stew in the oven when the stepmother gave her an almighty push. The witch fell into the oven
and the stepmother shut the door.

‘Children, I have come to save you,’ she said hugging them tightly. I have done a dreadful thing.

I hope in time you will forgive me. Let me take you home and become a family again. They

The following text is for questions 11 to 13.

Dear diary,
Last holiday I visited my uncle’s family who live in Puncak. His house is near a tea
plantation and has wonderful surroundings.
One morning, my cousin Gani, who is two years older than me, showed me his horse.
Gani said that he is a pretty skillful horse rider. Hearing that, I felt envious. So I asked him to
teach me how to ride a horse. Gani then asked me whether I was really brave enough to ride a
horse. Confidently I said yes.
Gani taught me how to sit on the horse saddle and hold the horse’s bridles. He didn’t let
me ride the horse by myself. He sat behind me and guided the horse.
The following day, I intended to ride the horse by myself. The horse was quite tame so
Gani allowed me to. However, he still watched me. He followed me on another horse. I held the
bridles and rode the horse carefully. Finally, I succeeded in riding the horse around the
plantation. I felt very happy. It was like a dream that I could finally ride a horse!
