Sang Nila Utama was a prince in an island near Singapore. While trying to get to Singapore, he was caught in a terrible storm and had to throw his crown into the sea to prevent the ship he was on from sinking. He saw a beautiful creature when he reached the island and was entralled by its beauty. He was told by one of his ministers that it was a lion. This was how Singapore got its name "Singapura". It means "Lion City".
