Singapore or Singa Pura meaning Lion City in Bahasa.
Legend states that a Javan prince by the name of Sang Nila Utama spotted a Lion on the shores of the island and declared it Lion City.
Funny thing is, there are no lions native to this region, you'd have to go all the way to India for that.
So the legendary founder of Singapore was most definitely high when he found this place.

@Longpatrol What sort of Bahasa?....which after all just means language.

@KiwiBird would probably be Melayu but 500 years ago I'm not so sure.

@Longpatrol Probably...after all even Indonesia adopted that as their national language.
