Temasek ('Sea Town' in Javanese, spelt Tumasik; ) was the name of an early city on the site of modern Singapore. From the 14th century, the island is also known as Singapura, which is derived from Sanskrit and means "Lion City". Legend has it that the name was given by Sang Nila Utama when he visited the island in 1299 and saw an unknown creature which he probably mistook as a lion *. While the early history of Singapore is obscured by myth and legend, some conclusions can be drawn from archaeological evidence and from written references by travelers. Archaeology points to an urbanised settlement on the site by the fourteenth century. Allusions by travelers give some evidence that there may have been a city or town present as early as the second century. At its height, the city boasted a large earthen city wall and moat; many of the buildings were built with stone and brick foundations. Remains of old pottery, coins, jewellery and other artifacts have been found, with many of these artifacts believed to be imported from various parts of China, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. These are sometimes seen as evidence of the city's status as a regional trade centre. An aquatic route part of the larger Silk route, passes through Temasek. From the seventh to the thirteenth centuries, the island of Singapore was controlled by the Srivijaya empire based in Sumatra. By the emergence of Temasek as a fortified city and trading centre 14th century, the Srivijaya empire was in a long period of decline. The city then changed hands several times before coming under the influence of the Sultanate of Malacca in the fifteenth century. After the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese in 1511, the island came under the control of the Malay Sultanate of Johor. By the arrival of the British Thomas Stamford Raffles in 1819, there was only a fishing village on the site. Thus the modern city of Singapore, while on the same spot as Temasek, is not truly the same city. Today Temasek Holdings, one of the Singapore Government's investment companies, is named after the city of Temasek. The Republic's two most important honours are titled The Star of Temasek (Bintang Temasek in Malay, for acts of exceptional courage and skill or exhibited conspicuous devotion to duty in circumstances of extreme danger) and the Order of Temasek (Darjah Utama Temasek, for outstanding and exceptional contributions to the country).

Theree are three people who seem to continue their campaign of satanism and evil. Mr Stephen Baxter - British Mr Ian Baxter - British Mr E R Crawley (David Crawley) - British Mr Kenneth Winn (Winn-Pope) - British Today I have received their threats against my 83 year old mother. Also several of my children have been apparentlty tortured or injured and death threats included. Please will you take all possible action to cease this illegal and criminal activity withimn the next 24 hours. In the event that you fail to do so I will take steps to locate these people and use an automatic firearm to arrest and if necessary terminate anyone who continues this satanic behaviour towards children and others.I will remind you that it is within the limitations of the Vienna Convention to take these steps if it is clear the lives of innocent individuals are placed at risk. I also will confirm that since summer 2005 I have been serving as an Ambassador to help poor people and fight for Human Rights. The appointment was granted by Mr Lars Vilks The Secreatary Of State for Ladonia. I received confirmation of the post Ambassador based in Bangkok Thailand by email around summer 2005. In fact regardless of the ignorance of some Thai Police to recognise my Diplomatic Rights and Title, it is genuine and I havce acted vigourously to help others in need, sometimes a great risk to my health and life. Both the Thai Government and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office have committed serious offences breaching The Vienna Convention. Temasek Pte Ltd Of Singapore has failed to take necessary steps to prevent further Human Rights breaches within the boundaries of their control. This includes the use of children as tools to torture others including other children because their management were angered due to their loss of face concerning the recent Shinawatra scandal/crimes and Temasek management involvement. I recommend all major Investment Bankers to sell Temasek Group Porfolio Interests instantaneously, any of their subsidiary public companies they need to be placed into Official administration and wound up/ restructured to end the crimes of Human Rights being repeated by parties funded through their companies. They are guilty of Theft, Fraud, Torture and Blackmail. I am making arrangements for the supply of an automatic weapon. This will be recorded with the local Police. All International Banking Associations, the Aviation Industry and other trade groups may be notified of the failure of Thailand to cease this terrorism. My properties and cars have been broken into and items stolen over 100 times in the last twelve months. This includes copies of correspondence with The Whitehouse USA and other private papers. Unless a substantial settlement offer is received within the next fourteen days the matter will be referred to The International Court of Justice Peace Palace 2517 KJ The Hague The Netherlands. http://www.icj-cij.org/icjwww/igeneralinformation.htm These people have seriously damaged my relations with my last wife Netnapa Taenjamras whom I have not seen in months. Also they applied the same pressure to The Sultan Of Brunei's God-Daughter hurling insults threats and lies and general verbal terrorism that nearly drove her out of her mind. She is not the same person anymore a very damaged young girl.
