SINGAPORE – The Shocking Name Change Story | #shortsthey

Singapore was not always called Singapore.

According to Malay historical records, the island was once known as Temasek. In the 14th century, a prince named Sang Nila Utama ruled parts of Southeast Asia. During a hunting expedition, he spotted a distant island in the sea and decided to visit it.

When he arrived, he learned that the island was called Temasek. While exploring the land, the prince noticed a powerful animal he had never seen before. The locals told him it resembled a lion.

Impressed by this sight, the prince renamed the island Singapura — meaning “Lion City.” Over time, Singapura gradually evolved into the name we use today: Singapore.

Even today, Singapore’s national symbol is the lion — a reminder of the legend that shaped its identity.

History doesn’t always begin with facts.
Sometimes, it begins with a story.
