In the 14th Century,  Singapore was under protection from the Majapahit Kingdom in the which showed that Singapore was weak and needed protection. Also in the 14th Century,, there was something that was made out of Ceramic and there were different types because it is made from a pure while clay called kaolin and only the wealthy and rich could afford such things. The kings that ruled Singapore possess them. This means that Singapore traded with China for such things to come to Singapore.
That's all I have for today so have a great day and goodbye.

Area 1:Occupation

1.Before 1819, The food stalls tell us that before 1819,people would usually set up stalls to earn a living.they usually sold delicacies that were famous in their culture like the Chinese sold laksa,the Malays sold nasi lemak   and the Indians sold roti prata. 2.This also tells me that Singapore had a wide variety of people living there before 1819.Those who were unable or were unsuccessful in opening food stalls , they chose another occupations coolies.That was when they loaded /unloaded goods which came from other countries to trade.Despite working such tough jobs,these workers pay was very low they   could only afford food for one to eat.This tells me that before 1819 the salary of the people differed widely .Those who worked tough jobs were paid less compared to those who were paid more without any effort.
