Speaking at a public lecture on 9 October, Associate Professor Borschberg explained how &#8220;Singapura&#8221; is possibly translated from Malay into Portuguese as false demora, which means a tricky place to stay. Alternatively, maps in the early 1500s use the name of Baxingpara, which can be broken down into a combination of various language terms: &#8220;bar&#8221; means a kingdom of a coastal region, &#8220;xin&#8221; means &#8220;China,&#8221; and &#8220;gopara&#8221; means &#8220;gateway.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"9nb5t-0-0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"94uuc\" data-offset-key=\"dalp2-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"dalp2-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"dalp2-0-0\">A\/P Borschberg, who has been studying European records of the region for the past 20 years, states that there are about 1,000 references to the island as Singapura in languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch. These mostly come from maritime records and refer to the waters around Singapore as potential areas for building infrastructure. With records dating much earlier than Raffles&#8217; arrival, A\/P Borschberg suggests that these artefacts raise questions about a narrative that applauds Raffles&#8217; ingenuity in his supposedly unique vision for Singapore. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"94uuc\" data-offset-key=\"a2ue1-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"a2ue1-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"a2ue1-0-0\">A\/P Borschberg&#8217;s lecture is part of the ongoing Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre&#8217;s lecture series called 1819 and Before: Singapore&#8217;s Pasts.
