Introduction
This was before the European settlement but now Singapore is distinctly recognized as the island city state. Many indigenous tribes and rural folk lived on the coats of the adjacent islands and rivers. History states that The British East India Company led by Sir Stamford Raffles had established a trading site on the island which made Singapore the most affluent commercial centre in 1819.
The military forces of Singapore under the British East India Company were also of par excellence. A country's military power is synonymous to the country's strength. This made Singapore the hub of modernity which defined itself through commercial success and military power. Simultaneously, Singapore was at the core of the British hegemony in South-east Asia.
