 The Raffles Town Plan, also known as the Jackson Plan, refers to Stamford Raffles’s plan for the town of Singapore formulated in late 1822. Lieutenant Philip Jackson drew up a plan according to Raffles’s vision and the resultant plan was published in 1828. The town plan focused on the downtown area, particularly around the Singapore River, and spanned from Telok Ayer to the Kallang River.1 It was based on the vision that Singapore would be “a place of considerable magnitude and importance” and, as such, “an economical and proper allotment of the ground intended to form the site of the principal town [was] an object of first importance”. ~ Infopedia

Parameswara (1344 – c. 1414), thought to be the same person named in the Malay Annals as Iskandar Shah, was the last king of Singapura and the founder of Malacca. According to the Malay Annals, he ruled Singapura from 1389 to 1398. The king fled the island kingdom after a Majapahit naval invasion in 1398 and founded his new stronghold on the mouth of Bertam river in 1402. Within decades, the new city grew rapidly to become the capital of the Malacca Sultanate. Portuguese accounts however, written a hundred years after his death, suggest he was from Palembang in Sumatra and usurped the throne of Singapura; he was driven out, either by the Siamese or the Majapahit, and went on to found Malacca. - Wiki

 

The name Harbourfront was not given by chance. It has coexisted since the time when the first ship sailed past this island, few thousand years ago. This part of the island has been a favorite spot to many navigators, traders and migrants alike.
