Temasek
Early settlement on present-day Singapore
Temasek
Temasek (IPA: tə-MAH-sayk or tə-MAH-sikk, also spelt Temasik or Tumasik) is an early recorded name of a settlement on the site of modern Singapore. The name appears in early Malay and Javanese literature, and it is also recorded in Yuan and Ming Chinese documents as 單馬錫 (pinyin: Dānmǎxī; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tan-má-sek) or 淡馬錫 (pinyin: Dànmǎxī; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tām-má-sek). Two distinct settlements were recorded in Temasek – Long Ya Men (Malay: Batu Berlayar) and Ban Zu (Malay: Pancur). The name Temasek continues to feature prominently in modern Singapore, particularly in the names of national honours, institutions, schools and corporations.
