Investment migration in Singapore: Listen to the story of Singapore. The name Singapore originates from the Sanskrit word "Singapura" and is accompanied by a beautiful legend.
In ancient times, Singapore was known as Temasek (meaning "Sea Town" in Javanese). It was founded in the 8th century and belonged to the Srivijaya Empire of Indonesia. Legend has it that in the 11th century, a prince of the Srivijaya Empire married a princess from Riau Island and settled there. One day, the prince and the princess went out hunting. While sailing, they encountered a fierce storm. As the ship was about to capsize, the prince threw his crown into the sea, and the winds and waves immediately subsided. They steered the ship to the coast of Temasek. While hunting in a nearby forest, they suddenly spotted a strange beast with a black head, a white chest, and a red body, moving with great agility. The attendants told the prince that it was a lion. Delighted, the prince believed this to be an auspicious place and decided to stay. Because he saw a lion upon landing, he later renamed Temasek to Singapura.
In Malay, "Singa" means lion, and "Pura" means city. This is the origin of the names Singapore and the Lion City.
