This also tells us that the country was prosperous.]]> 2018-08-23 05:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274778261 SalvatoreDexter https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274825582 Singapore's business was successful and had many economic connection with the world even before 1819  that there were traders from other parts of the world coming to Singapore to trade even before 1819. This source tell us about the economic connections Singapore had with India, China and other  parts of Southeast Asia most probably due to the rise of Temasek which was caused by the fall of the kingdom of Srivijaya, the role  of Temasek an entrepot, the advantages of monsoons to Temasek and the role of sang Utama and the also pull factors of Singapore that  were the geostrategic location, better job and business opportunities and better job prospects. The gold armlet resembled a Hindu God, which is an evidence that it probably belonged to an Indian trader. The broken pottery and ceramics were probably left by trader from China, which is evidence that it probably belonged to a Chinese trader.]]> 2018-08-23 12:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274825582 SalvatoreDexter https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274825837 2018-08-23 12:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274825837 https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274831705 Arrowheads were used instead of guns and pistols. It can be used either like a knife, or shot like a gun. This source tells me that the technology was not advanced yet and soldiers had to use that instead of guns as projectile weapons.
In conclusion, these sources tells me that Singapore had connections with other countries, Singapore was very wealthy, and that Singapore had military defences against other countries that may attempt to attack them.]]> 2018-08-23 12:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274831705 8924h https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274846165 (a)This source is based on a sign in Fort Canning Hill that describes the spices and their cultural use.

I can infer that the people in Singapore before the 1819 uses spices for food, medicine and many more.

The evidences are, "The use of spices in rituals, customs, products and food dates back to thousands of years, through civilization and and across cultures. The ancient Egyptians, Romans, Indians, Greeks and Chinese used spices to flavor food, as medicine, religious offerings, in magic potions and even air fresheners."

Different cultures uses same spices for different things, for example, pepper was used once as currency and a mixture of spices were used in embalming rituals, both to preserve the body as well as to make it smell more pleasant. The ancient Indian system of health care known as Ayurvedaor or Ayurvedic medicine has incorporated many herbs and spices in their health concoctions.





(b)This source is based on the history textbook of page 45.

I can infer that in the past, people in Singapore walk long distances to visit religious places.

The evidences are, "In the past, people went on long, dangerous journeys to either visit religious places or look for new places to buy and sell goods."

The people in the past were dedicated to their culture to the point that they will would risk their safety to visit religious places.




(c)This source is based on the gold ornaments found at Fort Canning Hill.

The evidences are, "The Kala Motif is a protective symbol found at the entrance of Hindu and Javanese temples dating from 8th to 14th century. Thus, the gold ornaments was from Java and it was brought to Singapore probably to influence the people in Singapore with Javanese culture.

The Javanese culture wanted to influence Singapore into the Javanese culture and thus is relevant to the aspects of life that I am focusing on which is culture.]]> 2018-08-23 13:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274846165 8924h https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274846370 2018-08-23 13:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274846370 8924h https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274846446 2018-08-23 13:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274846446 8924h https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274878113 (c)]]> 2018-08-23 14:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/274878113 https://padlet.com/SalvatoreDexter/uy3mqkj4mmru/wish/275300312 At 1959 , Mr Lee Kuan Yew made PAP which has been ruling Singapore since then. Singapore was then still with Malaysia in 1963. In 1965, Singapore gained independence. Singapore then embarked on a mordernization programme beginning in the late 1960s through 1970 that focused on manufacturing industry, developing large public housing estate and investing heavily in public education.
