Rice and fish and anything else they could get their hands on that the Japanese did not get to first. Singapore struggled to eat because Japanese did not allow food trade to be shipped to Singapore and they hoarded most of the food.
How could the fall of Singapore have been prevented?
The fall of Singapore could have been prevented in many ways, but in my opinion if the British had not been so complacent they may have been able to prevent Singapore from falling to the Japanese. Many of the British soldiers took the Japanese lightly. They did not think that they would be able to capture Singapore as they regarded it as an impregnable fortress. In addition, it could have also been prevented if the British had more and better aircrafts. The British only had 158 aircrafts. which were already obsolete, when the Japanese started their invasion. By contrast, the Japanese severely outnumbered them and had more advanced fighter planes. This caused the British to easily lose control of the skies, helping the Japanese.

The British did not suspect that the Japanese would attack Singapore and the maps were not updated, which made the British think that the only way the Japanese could get to Singapore was through the forests or by sea, but the Japanese took the highway riding on bicycles and brought tanks. The Japanese were also more well trained and the British failed to prepare for the attack. They also caught the British off guard using a fake attack north-east and started the real attack north-west. They were powerful and sandwiched the British troops, took control of reservoirs, cutting of water supplies for the British

What was Singapore called before Stanford raffles took it?
"Singapore" is the English word for "Singapura", which means Lion City. This word originated when Sang Nila Utama, an Indonesian prince, set sail and discovered Singapore. He saw what he thought was a lion, which was actually a tiger on the island running at great speed, and since that was the first thing he saw on the island, he decided to name it Lion City, or Singapura. Singapore was also named Syonan-To during the Japanese Occupation in World War II. It meant "Island of the Light of the South" in Japanese.
