The invasion and subsequent sacking of Singapore that occurred in 1398, was fought between the Majapahit forces and Singaporean forces. The battle lasted for a months; it eventually ended in victory for the Majapahit.[1][8] The city of Singapore got sacked and destroyed most of the city, and the terrible massacre took place after the invasion.[6]
Before the sacking took place, Parameswara, the last king of Singapura and his followers fled to the Malay Peninsula and establish a new state, Malacca Sultanate.
