Siege and Invasion

[edit]

In 1350, Majapahit under the rule of Hayam Wuruk besieged the Kingdom of Singapore, but they (Singapore) succeeded in protecting their homeland. Majapahit did not accept it, and in 1398, Majapahit invaded Singapore with any tactics and direction. Almost all of Singapore's people were Mass Murdered, and blood flowed like a river.
