Evidence:
In the account, it is stated that the east Javanese kingdom of reign attacked Temesak. The reign of Paduka Sri Pikrama Wira, the present ruler of Temasek was passed down to his son which means Temesak was not defeated by Javanese kingdom and able protect itself from the attack so I can conclude that the military system in Singapore was doing well during the 14th century.
