A video that Wei Shuang and I did previously using animation from Scratch and piecing them up together to form the story. It was supposed to be a series with other Myths and Legends but due to some circumstances, it did not happen. Nonetheless, just wanted to share it with everyone! :) Kudos to Wei Shuang for doing the Scratch part of things!
Welcome to Singapore Myths and Legends.
As many people know, Singapura, the Malay name Singapura, means Kota Lion.
In today's story, we will find out how Singapore got its name.
It is said that long ago, in the year 1299,
leaving behind their son of a bitch in Palembang called Sang Nila Utama.
One day, she got bored and decided to go hunting with a guy.
In the forest, they saw a horse, but while he was trying to shoot him,
The horse ran before they could do anything.
The boy and the man chased the horse, but eventually disappeared.
The adventure takes them to a mountain where the putera have a good view of the surrounding islands.
Looking out, Sang Nila Utama saw an island he had never seen before.
It has a white sandy beach.
Is that the island?
He asked the guy.
What about Temasek?
They answered.
Let's go to the hospital, bitch.
Sang Nila Utama has been looking for a new place to build a city
And very excited to put kaki on the white sands of Temasek.
However, as they headed for Temasek, a basung appeared.
Angina red and pink and angina increases.
The train is slightly damaged and in danger of being shot.
To ease the situation and avoid the train from shooting,
The man Nila Utama started shooting the things they took from the train.
However, Basung became more firm.
They have shot everything they can live without hesitation,
But the train still keeps shooting.
As soon as everyone started panicking, Sang Nila Utama remained calm and said,
I will shoot my kingdom up, as an offering to the sand.
When the king shoots his kingdom from the basung,
Basung is gone and Sand will come again.
The man she screamed, the basungnya finally disappeared.
With basung back to normal, they continue their journey to Temasek.
After a while, Sang Nila Utama and his sister reached Temasek.
They came out of the basung to explore the island.
While he was walking, he met another animal,
He's never seen one before.
She's pretty with a black head and a red body.
He looked into the eyes of the bitch.
Then he disappeared.
What is that animal?
Nobody really knows, but one guy said,
I heard that there are animals that look very beautiful like that.
Other men also added it.
They call him Lion or Animal.
Sang Nila Utama liked what he saw from the island.
He thinks that it's time Baginda has his own place to move.
Seeing Singa is a good sign.
Here I will leave you.
Dia said.
We'll call this place Singapore.
And that, they say, is how Singapore got its name.
There are some people who say that animals did not exist in Singapore at that time
And what Sang Nila Utama looks like is actually a tiger.
However, it is something we will never know because we cannot travel back in time.
Soon to the year-year-year past,
A Sang Nila Utama stone was built along the Singapore River in 2019.
for the Bicentennial of Singapore.
We hope you enjoy this story and look forward to the next story we'll share.
