Singapore was a successful trading port before 1819 as Singapore was trading with the Chinese. Singapore was ruled by many Kings before 1819,one of them was Iskandar Shah. Singapore had many cultures having religion buildings in Singapore, Singapore has many types of different cultural items known as artefact to this date. We can conclue that Singapore was a successful island as there were many tradings, Singapore had a ruler in the past and later became independent in 1965 and Singapore had were cultural and had many people from different cultures living there.

Greenware is also known as celedon. It was the most common type of ceramic produced in China during the 14th century. The Greenware that were mostly produced were found in Fort Canning Hill in Southern China,and vary significantly in terms of quality and vessel type. The writings of Chinese trader Wang Dayuan recorded that Chinese merchants could turn a healthy profit selling such items in Singapura.
I can infer that Greenware were also produced to earn profit from Singapura.

Brick fragment is another cultural aspect as Crawfurd belived that these rocks are to be the remains of Buddhist shrines. Not only that, those bricks were also used for building in the 14th century and were generally larger than the one we used today. Crawfurd was the second resident of Singapore who discovered many ruins made of good quality bricks on Fort Canning Hill in 1822.

The first cultural aspect is a gold armlet and earing, dating to the 14th century found on Fort Canning in 1928, during excavation for the construsction of a reservior. I can infer that source that Artisan Garden was one of the few palatial areas open to non-royal it was located on the lower Eastern slope as it was surrounded by forests and salt marshes.

The Keramat Iskandar Shah was there since 1822.  However he was the last five kings who ruled Singapore in the 14th century. Singapore fell to end enemy attack but Iskandar Shah managed to escape into the forest and two years later founded another great kingdom, in Melaka.

Chinese record in early Melaka mention Iskandar Shah and report that he died around 1420, but no sources give his space of death. Tradisional Malay chronicles state that the first king of the Malays, Sri Tri Bauna, and his chief minister, Demang Lebar Daun were buried on this hill.

I can infer from the source that Iskandar Shah is a brave man. He ran to the forest by himself without anyone with him and he survive two years until he found another great kingdom.Then he died at around 1420 and buried on the hill in Fort Canning now.

There was a wide variety of ceramic artefacts discovered on Fort Canning Hill. The ceremics that were found were of better quality than those that were found at the Singapore River.
The ceremics found on the hill are porcelain compass that are unique it suggests that it was obtain by the rulers of Temasek through exchange with the Chinese rulers.

This shows that Temasek had traded with the Chinese.

The Potter's Wheel is another political aspects. The Potter's Wheel was first used in Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE. However, they quickly replaced the ancient technigue of shaping vessles by hands, improving the efficiency of potery-making.

Potters back then kick with their legs to turn the heavy stone, making use of its even rotation to form vessels from lumps of clay.

I can infer from this source that Potter's Wheel is a very old thing that many people might not know the benefits of it. It is use to make the most common thing we use now is pot, bowl, vase and a lot more other interesting stuff.
