The Kingdom of Singapura (Malay: Kerajaan Singapura) was a historical Malay kingdom that existed on the island of Singapore from 1299 until its fall in 1398. Conventional historical view marks circa 1299 as the founding year of the kingdom by Seri Teri Buana, whose father is Sang Sapurba, the common great ancestor of most of the Malay monarchies in the Malay World. He claimed to be a descendant of Alexander the Great.
