新加坡
In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles founded colonial Singapore as a trading post of the British East India Company.
After the company's collapse in 1858, the islands were ceded to the British Raj as a crown colony.
During the Second World War, Singapore was occupied by Japan.
The Japanese occupation of Singapore or Syonan-to took place from 1942 to 1945.
Singapore was renamed Syonan-to, meaning "Light of the South Island".
Singapore was officially returned to British colonial rule on 12 September 1945.
Singapore gained independence from the British Empire in 1963 by joining Malaysia along with other former British territories Sabah and Sarawak.
But Singapore separated two years later over ideological differences, becoming a sovereign state in 1965.
Today Singapore celebrates its 54th Birthday.
Majulah Singapura! (Onward Singapore!)

1819年，史丹福莱佛士爵士成立了新加坡殖民地，成为英国东印度公司的贸易站。
该公司于1858年倒闭后，这些岛屿被割让给英国皇家殖民地。
在第二次世界大战期间，新加坡被日本占领。
日本对新加坡或昭南島的占领发生在1942年至1945年。
新加坡更名为昭南島，意为“南岛之光”。
新加坡于1945年9月12日正式回归英国殖民统治。
新加坡于1963年以及其他前英国领土沙巴和沙捞越通过加入马来西亚而获得独立。
但两年后新加坡因意识形态分歧而分离，于1965年成为一个主权国家。
今天新加坡庆祝独立54周年。
前进吧，新加坡！
