The British and the Dutch were fierce competitors for trade outside Europe. The trading ports the British already had were unsuitable due to their locations, so they wanted to find a better suited one. They finally settled on Singapore as Singapore had a natural sheltered  harbour and a good supply of drinking water. Its location at the southern tip of the straits in Melaka also meant that Singapore could be the halfway port between India and China, so the British could protect their trade and at the same time challenge the Dutch’s control over trade in Southeast Asia. Thus, Singapore was a good option for the port.
