Country

From SgWiki

Country is like a geographical location determined by politics.

• Once upon a time there was this Island,
  

As part of many Islands in an area full of pirates.
The English and Dutch came
on their way to China
to look for fortune in tea trades,
However they need a place :
a safe harbour to rest their men and
get new supplies
The Dutch began to colonises
The Indies or the spice Islands such as in Java
and Sumatra
And in agreement,
The English had the northern part
So that Island was overlooked as
a little rocky wasteland.
Until Raffles came and declared it a British colony..
. Then we became
British colony of Singapore..it's all politics since then... [[User:Terry How|: Terri ^talk 01:12, October 8,2005 (UTC)]] 06:52, 23 November 2005 (SGT)
