Sydney, Ana and Lilja Taking Shape

Indian merchant:Ana European merchant: Sydney**
 * Chinese merchant: Lilja

Lilja: I have moved here because my old home had a terrible flood. Hopefully this town has more opportunities. I came here a few days ago, the journey was horrible: people got sick and died, Only 100 lived out of 300! I came here from China. I faced many difficulties in China. There was no good farmland. There was droughts, floods, and increasing population. Ana: I came from India. There too, there were many hardships. Population is increasing a lot and we do not have enough food and jobs for everyone. Sometimes we have famine. A lot of us are leaving to different countries hoping to find a better life. Sydney: I came from England. There, the commerce is very good. But, we have so much to sell that we have decided to send people who will sell the British goods. I have been sent to sell furs and such objects that people here don't have. Ana: Some of us also came to trade, I came here also because it is said that trading is good and there are no natural disasters. Rumour said that the streets were paved in gold! Sydney: Europeans come here not only to sell but also to buy so that we can sell spices in Europe. South East Asia is a very good place to sell things.

__The leaders of Singapore!__

Dutch: Ana Farquhar: Lilja**
 * Raffles: Sydney

Sydney: Finally the treaty is signed, this is a British land. Now we shall clear the jungle and make a city. Lilja: I agree.I think we should also clear jungle up and put defences up the Singapore River. Sydney: That is definitally true: more people hear about Singapore and how well people live here. We needmore land, i will send orders to chop the jungle up. A day later. Sudney: We need more people to come to trade here, there is not enough food to feed everyone, luckily not everyone is leaving. Lilja: That is not the only propblem: rats, moskitoes and centipedes need to be exterminated and there is violence and disorder between the settlers. Sydney: We will invite the traders of Melaka to come and trade here. They surely know how wealthy and well located Singapore is! Hopefully they will bring food to trade and so there will be enough food. lilja: I will offer money for every rat, centipede and mosquitoes killed. Sydney: And we will set up a police to set up order

A day later...

Sydney: The Dutch are thinking that singapore belongs to them not us, because sultan hussein was not the rightfull sultan of Singapore. Lilja: That is true, I think that they will come. Yes it is he. Dutch; We have come here to discuss matters. Singapore does not belong to you but to us. sultan hussein was not the right ful owner of singapore, Sultan abdul is. Anyways you should give us singapore, the british government is mad with you for having stirred trouble with us.. Lilja, murmuring to raffles: I hope the dutch will not a attack us, it would be a shame to have to leave singapore. Sydney: Maybe our government will sign a treaty with them.

After the treaty is signed with the Dutch.

Raffles: We will make a new town plan Farquhar. Each culture will live in different parts of Singapore and we may live in peace.
