Basically like they are today. They were for the most part more polite, and life was slower with less stress. People are people and other than changes in culture people are the same everywhere.

Singapore is a developed country.

Singapore is the fourth wealthiest country in the world in terms of GDP (PPP) per capita, and the twentieth wealthiest in terms of GDP (nominal) per capita.

Singapore is one of the most developed countries in the world.

Early Indian immigrants came to Singapore primarily for economic opportunities and to escape difficult conditions in their home regions, including poverty and political instability. Many were recruited as laborers for the British colonial administration, working in sectors like agriculture, construction, and trade. Additionally, some came as professionals and traders, contributing to the multicultural fabric of Singapore. The promise of better livelihoods and the chance to establish a new life drew many to the island.

The power of Singapore's defence lies in this forts, which then faces the sea. To the British, the biggest threat that Singapore faces was an attack from the sea. To them, it was impossible for the enemy to fight their way through Malaya, which they taught was hard to take over due to the whole stretch of high altitude in the middle and the dense forests. Moreover, the British had more than 100,000 soldiers in Malaya.

However, the Japanese invaded south-east Asia were well trained in "forest warfare". They had mini-tanks which could move in the dense forests. In addition, they had air support and better guns. The Japanese used the aircrafts to destroy all of the British's naval defence. In addition, their artillery helped eliminate the enemies on land. They took over the major roads of Malaya and fought all the way down to Johor Bahru.

The British were given an order to retreat if necessary, but the units took it as an order to retreat, which granted the Japanese an easy victory in Malaysia. Moreover, the British troops had no motivation to fight, because their primary concern was of the invading Germans.

The Japanese faked an attack on Pulau Ubin, which forced General Percival to move a bulk of his troops to defend the north-eastern part of Singapore. By doing so, they left the north-western part of Singapore unguarded and the Japanese rode bikes across the crossway into Singapore. In addition, the Japanese also faked an attack from the sea, which also made some of the British troops move to the southern part of the island, in fear that the Japanese would launch a naval attack.

With the British in bits and pieces everywhere, the Japanese, even though outnumbered, swiftly took out the British in small groups. This has securely their victory.

Singapore became a crown colony in April 1, 1867.

Civil Disobedience has been famously exhibited and supported by people such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., the Dalai Lama, and Rosa Parks.

Chinese left there home because they don't know what 2+2 was so they came to America so they could teach them.

Hopefully this helps, :-) I was just looking this information up for a project!

-They wanted to break the dutch monopoly of trade in the

Archipelago By colonizing Singapore, they would have a new

trading settlement to rival the Dutch.

-Singapore was located centrally and was the main trade route

between the East and the West. Therefore, Singapore was the best

trading centre amongst other the islands because of its strategic

location at the heart of the Malay Archipelago

Tanglin was a densely wooded area until the 17th century when settlers began clearing the hills to make way for nutmeg, gambier and pepper plantations. In 1860, a 210 acre site in Tanglin, comprised mainly of a nutmeg plantation, was purchased by the colonial government, to provide housing for military troops. It was first established as barracks for the British Army in 1872. The buildings constructed for the military then, were large and airy, to give respite from the tropical elements while providing maximum ventilation. From 1934-6, much new construction took place within the camp grounds, and the barracks were fortified. Some of the buildings were torn down to make way for new concrete buildings, while modifications were made to others, thus preserving the square support columns and French-tiled roofs of the original buildings. The buildings of Tanglin Camp have previously housed various important military offices such as The Medical Classification Centre, Officers' Personnel Centre, Naval Training Department, SAF Careers Centre and the Central Manpower Base of the Singapore Armed Forces. Presently, the buildings at Tanglin Camp are decommissioned.
