Singapore was the most developed of the Straits Settlements. It developed rapidly because it was a free port. Asian and European traders preferred to trade here than at Batavia or other Dutch ports because the Dutch taxed all the goods and limited trade.

Singapore lay in a central position in South East Asia. Within a few years it became the most important trading centre for collecting and distributing goods in South East Asia. Moreover, Singapore was an important port-of-call for British ships on their way to China. It was on the main route of trade and travel between the east and the west. Traders from Singapore, the Middle East, India, China and South East Asia called at Singapore.

The Government of Singapore was efficient, so there was peace and order. These attracted many settlers to Singapore. The Government did not restrict immigrattion.

Thus, the trading community and the imigrants helped to develop Singapore and make it prosperous. Singapore population increased rapidly. By 1860 Singapore had a population of more than 80 000. There were traders, businessmen and immigrants from all over the world. Singapore became a cosmopolitan city.
