Secondary 1 student reveals: Sinkie gabrament and SCM have been spreading lies
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
You don't have to be a rocket scientist or President Scorer to be able to tell that the Sinkie gabrament and the SCM (state-controlled media) have been distorting Sink-a-pore's history. A 13-year-old student's letter to the Forum, The Straits Times, March 4, 2015, page A25, debunks the popular but fabricated story that Sinkieland was a sleepy village pre-Raffles' time. *************************************** Old Singapore not a sleepy village Based on my research, Singapore was not a sleepy village before the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819. The oldest recorded map of Singapore, created by Johannes Theodore de Bry an dated 1607, depicts a naval battle in our waters between Dutch Vice-Admiral Jakob Pietersz Enkhuisen and Portuguese Captain Estevao Teixeira de Matos. This shows that it was definitely not peaceful then. Another bit of evidence would be the 14th-century gold armlets and rings--in East Javanese style--found at Fort Canning Hill, which prove there were probably Javanese traders who made stopovers here. The 15th-century Malay Annals, which is the only available account of the history of the Malay Sultanate, claims Singapura was a thriving trading port under Sang Nila Utama. Amid the SG50 celebrations, let us take time to appreciate how Singapore has come to prosper, and let us study its roots more.
