Description |
Assessments of Singapore’s history invariably revolve around Sir Stamford Raffles’ arrival in 1819. Before this date – we’ve been told – “nothing very much appears to have happened in Singapore”. Pre-1819 Singapore was a sleepy, historically insignificant fishing village, little more than the “occasional resort of pirates”. This ambitious book, co-written by four of Singapore’s foremost historians, offers an assertive re-evaluation of that view. Drawing on a multi-disciplinary range of archival, textual and cartographical records, as well as the latest archaeological discoveries, the authors cast a singular historical trajectory for Singapore over the past seven centuries, animating its history like never before. Written in a compelling and accessible manner, and richly illustrated with more than 200 artefacts, photographs, maps, art works and ephemera, this volume builds upon the foundations of an earlier book, Singapore: A 700-Year History. Extensively rewritten to incorporate ground-breaking research findings, Seven Hundred Years: A History of Singapore widens the historical lens and offers a vital new perspective on the story of Singapore. |

Description |
The story of modern Singapore can be told through its living heritage, essentially the many colourful 'ingredients' that make up this vibrant, cosmopolitan city-state. With the founding of modern Singapore by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, we review the many events, people, artefacts, legends and lifestyles pre- and post-1819 that contributed to make Singapore the unique city it is today. Insightful, lively texts by Kennie Ting are accompanied by archival images, contemporary photographs, maps and more to represent a comprehensive picture of the city-state, past and present. |

Description |
This article provides a synopsis of the history of Singapore and its adjacent straits during the early modern period, spanning from around the fall of Melaka to the Portuguese in 1511, until the founding of the British trading post by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles in 1819. Attention is focused on five points of general interest: the different maritime arteries known collectively as the Singapore Straits; the (imagined) location of the main island; Johor officials residing on Singapore during the 16th and 17th centuries; the port and settlements located on the southern side of the main island; as well as European visions for fortifying and colonising Singapore before 1800. The arguments show that, far from being a forgotten or neglected place, Singapore as a settlement, port, and strategic location was recognised and appreciated by both the local rulers and the early European colonial powers. |
