Singapura - the Malay name for present Singapore. It was believed to have derived from a sanskrit word, meaning "Lion City". During the Srivijaya Empire in the 7th Century, a Prince from Pelambang,Sang Nila Utama saw a "lion' in the island of Singapore - hence he named the place, Singapura. It could have been a tiger that he saw. Singapore is still signed as Singapura by the Malayan Railways ( Keretapi Tana Melaya )when visitors arrive into Singapore via the KTM Railway Station in Tanjong Pagar
