I doubt the Sang Nela story was true. It was the shameless pommy that rename Temasek to Singapore. Angmoh pommies occupied West Indies in Bangla for long time and Raffuck stationed there and must have renamed Tesmasek to Singapore to suit their choice of word use and this island sound like one of Bangla cities. The 'pore' is a give away clue to the choice of word use.
Angmoh Pommies are shameless stubborn fucking brain dead race who don't respect foreign words and only want to choose their own choice of words. Peh chye (hokkien), Pak choy (cantonese), pai chai (mandarin) is the same veggy but brain dead angmoh can't get it and stick to only one choice of word 'pok choy'.
So 'pok' their fucking brain pommy head! So does 'Pok' even sound close to the 3?
But when it come to French words chow pommies can respect the French cap and 'lingerie' is not pronounce is ling- ger -re right! So why doesn't the Pommies renamed most Frech cap words to suit their choice of words? Because they are neigbhours and only cheapest way to enter Europe is via France. By the way, the French cap don't like to speak English to the Pommies. Those who stayed in France before will agree with you!
China is a collective word for Chinese vases and procelains. Zhong Guo is 中国 and Chinese country is not China vases or porcelains. Again chow brain dead angmoh renamed Zhong Guo to China.
Beijing was also renamed to Peking. And now the West are forced to pronounce it as Beijing. Xiang kang was also renamed to Hong Kong. Great Java was also renamed to Australia. What else have they done to disrespect foreign lands which was named long time ago before they invaded?
These are proves that Chow angmoh pommies go round places to rename foreign land and places to suit their choice of words.
Puar/poor means city in Sankrit.
By the way, it was Sang Nela Utama who game Singapore the name after he saw a Singa on the island.
