when he was escaping from some people (forgot who :P) on a ship, he saw what his servant believed was a lion on an island where the sand was as white as cloth. he went onto the island andd named it singapore. more into it, 'singa' is Malay for lion and i think the other part of it (unsure of origin of word) means port. he used to set up ports and harbours for trading to take place.
