l Singapore has figured highly in the economic picture of the world since l2th century. This is primarily due to her location between the West and South East Asia. ln recent times this importance has been enhanced by the development of her rubber and tin resources. The Chinese werevthe first to recognize Singapore as a valuable link in western trade. Their activity here commenced in the llOO's with the establish- ment of a trading center. Their influence as a controlling power was cut short, however, in i365 when the Javanese overran their holdings. From this point until l8l9 Singapore remained in the hands of the native Malayans. ln l8l9 the English seizing on the importance of Singapore as a stepping stone to their Far East interests, bought her and began to build her up commercially and militarily. They were temporarily ousted in i942 by the Japanese and their program of co-prosperity for Asia, but regained control in i945 with the defeat of Japan. A more recent threat to x the English position in Singapore has been the emergence of my communist inspired terrorism on the mainland. As yet they T iw have not succeeded in seriously endangering Singapore. 'fl Mi r. :f x 3 E ' K? f , A351 .ff
