At the time when Sir Stamford Raffles came, there were less than one hundred small houses and huts at the mouth of the river; but only the Temengong's house was the only large one... About thirty families of Orang Laut also lived in boats a little way up the river.... There were few malays who lived near, their huts facing the sea. -Source taken from Secondary One textbook (Yeeting)

singapore stone
The singapore stone is a useful evidence from the past. For example, no one, until today, has been able to make sense of the writing on the Singapore stone. It tells us that the people in the past communicates very differently as compared to the present. It also tells us that the people in the past do not have a proper piece of paper to write. That is why they have to carve the stone. Therefore this source tells us that history of singapore goes a long way back.Hence, this stone is a useful evidence from the past. -Source taken from internet (Tanusyah)
