When was Singapore under British imperial rule?
Singapore was under British rule from 1819 till 1963. (It was taken by the Japanese early in 1942 but reverted to British rule in 1945).Singapore only officially became a British colony in August 1824. Before that, the British only had the rights to start a trading settlement. The Sultan at that time, had only given the British a piece of land to build a settlement in the southern part of Singapore island, as Singapore was still a territory controlled by a Malay ruler. Therefore, the answer to this question is, 1824 - 1956

Why did British fail to stop Japanese?
Britain failed to prevent the Japanese from invading Singapore because Japan had air superiority over the region.Most of England's air power was in Europe fighting Hitler's armies and defending England from invasion. Therefore England greatly relied the United States to provide air cover.So, in respect, your question is incorrect. The real question is: Why did the USA fail to support the UK with air support when Japan invaded Singapore?Because of the Japanese airstrikes, British forces were concentrating on defending Singapore from a head-on attack by Japan from the borders, air and sea.However, Japanese infantry managed to out-flank the British defenders by riding bicycles through the harsh Malaysian jungles.Because it's near impossible to get tanks and armoured vehicles through the Malaysian jungles, there were no British tanks in the area the Japanese flanked from, because it wasn't believed that Japan could successfully invade from that position.The British coastal guns protecting the coastlines of Singapore were turned around to face the land and aimed at the invading Japanese infantry, however because these guns and ammunition were designed to be fired at ships, they were very clumsy at firing on land targets.Had the US provided decent air coverage to protect the borders of Singapore, the British could have repelled the Japanese easily.

How was the main fleet to Singapore strategy effective in protecting Singapore?
There was no such fleet to Singapore. The HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse were sunk on 10 December 1941 by Japanese warplanes near the coast of Kuantan in Malaya. The British battleships should have been accompanied by the carrier Indomitable but she was damaged and without the air cover provided by the carrier, the 2 warships were nothing but useless metal that had slow reaction against the bombarding by the Japanese warplanes. The strategies that the British had were of little use in protecting Singapore. The British had control over Malaysia and Singapore. They thought that no one stood a chance in attacking Singapore from Johore, Malaysia simply because they had lots of land troops in Malaysia to fend off any enemy attacks. Hence, they stored warships on the nothern coast of Singapore, which they thought would be protected from any invaders on land. They had ample units in Malaysia and thought they simply cannot lose. Instead, the British build up cannons at the southern coast of Singapore, in Fort Canning and Sentosa. To them, the only way enemies can pose threat to Singapore was to attack by the sea, explaining their actions.
