- "Captain Barbossa…welcome to Singapore."
- ―Sao Feng to Hector Barbossa[src]
Singapore is an island city-state located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It lies 137 kilometers (85 miles) north of the Equator, south of the Malaysian state of Johor and north of Indonesia's Riau Islands. At 704.0 km², it is the smallest country in Southeast Asia.
The name Singapore is derived from the Malay words singa (lion) and pura (city). It was colonized by the East India Trading Company in 1819.

[edit] Layout
The harbor city of Singapore appeared to be little more than a dilapidated shanty town, though, due in part to Pirate Lord Sao Feng's influence, the city held many secrets. Chart-makers and glass-blowers frequented the narrow byways, many operating covertly as spies for Sao Feng. Feng's bath house was located deep within the shadowy backwaters of Singapore, beyond the city's marketplace. A sacred retreat built on the stone foundations of a 16th century fort, the bath house was a hallowed haunt only the most privileged or notorious were allowed entry to.
[edit] History
- "I never would have thought of that."
"Clearly you've never been to Singapore." - ―Murtogg and Jack Sparrow[src]
Sao Feng's bath house in Singapore became the site of a confrontation between Feng and Hector Barbossa, during the latter's quest to rescue Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' Locker. The intervention of the East India Trading Company led to a full-scale battle in the streets of Singapore, during which a fireworks factory was destroyed by Jack the monkey. Barbossa's crew set sail in the Hai Peng, soon followed by Feng himself in the Empress, intending to track down Jack Sparrow.
