The semi-historic Malay Annals state that Temasek was christened Singapura by Sang Nila Utama, a 13th-century Srivijayan Raja from Palembang. The identify Singapura supplanted Temasek someday just before the 15th century, soon after the establishment of the Kingdom of Singapura on the island by a fleeing Srivijayan Raja (prince) from Palembang.
