History of Singapore

The soldiers were inexperienced and untrained unlike the Japanese who had real fighting experience in China. The Indians were trained for the desert environment while the soldiers were given lousy guns as the British had financial problems while fighting the Germans in Europe. The British spent too much time in relaxation as they thought that Singapore was an impregnable fortress so they underestimated the Japanese. The British had only 130+ slow and lousy planes' machines are often jammed while the Japanese had 600+ high-tech and modern planes. Although the British had 2 battle cruisers , 4 destroyers and many other slow ships. These make up a fleet. HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Repulse, HMS Electra, HMS Express, HMS Tenedos, HMS encounter, HMS Jupiter and HMAS Vampire. Prince of Wales had the best air- tracking system that time, but were not in working condition. An air-craft carrier called HMS Indomitable was supposed to go with them, but were damaged before reaching Singapore. They were all destroyed by Japanese's torpedo bombers and many people died. The planes did not arrive in time to provide air cover. The British had lost total control in both the skies and the seas. As for land, although the Japanese are greatly outnumbered more than 4 to 1, they fought bravely under a brillant and fierce General, General Yamashita. In the end, General Arthur Ernest Percival decided to surrender as his armies were tired thirsty and hungry. The POW is up to a total of 12,000

Nope. Singapore follows a unitary system of Governance where the Central Government(i.e. the Legislature/Executive/Judiciary) is the only layer of government.

The 'Mayor'(s) of Singapore is the leader of the Community Development Council(CDC) without any major legislative/executive functions.

Singapore is a country weak on its own. It lacks natural resources and trade is also one of the reasons why Singapore is how it is today. Building relations with other countries can allow Singapore to gain from the other countries like imports and exports as well as defenses \

There are insects in Singapore and anywhere else. Insects like bees, mosquitoes, butterflies and dragonfly are very easily seen. Cockroaches are even more common, and i bet there are some at your house or your friends' house.

The sultan then was controlled by the Dutch since the Dutch endorsed him as the Sultan in 1818. Tengku Hussein was the eldest son of the previous Sultan, however he was away at Parang when his father died, thus his brother claimed the position of the Sultan. Though many malay officials who were Tengku Hussein's supports were against this, they couldn't do anything since the Dutch was too powerful for them.

When Raffles arrived at Singapore and wanted to establish a port in Singapore, he couldn't ask the Sultan to sign the treaty since he was controlled by the Dutch, and the Dutch obviously wouldn't allow it. Hence, when raffles promised to recognise tengku hussein as the rightful sultan of Johor and Singapre in the condition that Tengku Hussein sign the treaty which allow him to establish a port in Singapore and to colonise Singapore.
