新加坡开埠[1]（英文：the founding of Singapore）[2][3]是指1819年，英国人莱佛士爵士短暂到访新加坡，和天猛公阿都拉曼以及苏丹胡先，三人在2月6日签署条约，批准英国东印度公司在新加坡开设贸易港 [2][4]。另外，因为古代新加坡都曾经是一个主要的商埠，[5] 所以亦会称1819年为“现代新加坡开埠（the founding of modern Singapore）”。[6][7][8] 而新加坡政府会在特定的重要周年年份举办不同的纪念活动。[6]

18世纪后期，大英帝国与大清帝国商贸日益频繁，而对于航海路线中途设置英国控制据点的需求亦越来越大。于是，英国东印度公司先后在1786年同1791年和吉打的苏丹签订条约租借马来西亚半岛西面的槟城[9]。而在1795年，第一次反法同盟战争期间，荷兰的威廉五世在战火下流亡英国，他签发一系列后世称为《基佑宫信函（Kew Letters）》的信件给予荷兰在海外不同的殖民地，指示当地总督将管治权暂时交托给予英国，当中包括马六甲、巴东等地[10]。

1811年，柔佛的苏丹马末．沙三世（Mahmud Shah III）离世，随即触发他两个儿子谁人继位做新苏丹的问题。大儿子东姑胡先（Tengku Hussein）当时不在柔佛，而是在彭亨举办婚礼，于是乎小儿子东姑阿都拉曼（Tengku Abdul Rahman）把握几会继位成为新苏丹[11]。而大儿子之后就被人放逐隐居到廖内群岛入面的一个岛上[11]。

1814年，欧洲局势稳定后，英国与荷兰签订协议，英国将原本荷兰的殖民地交还[12]。荷兰继后在南洋势力逐步增强，同时向停泊于区内荷兰殖民地的船只征收大量税款，包括英国船只[13]。

莱佛士爵士

1818年3月22日，莱佛士爵士在印尼明古鲁出任殖民地副总督[14]。去到同年秋天，他为了增加英国在区内的据点，前往印度并成功说服总督支持他在马六甲海峡东南部寻访一个适合的地点开辟做英国的新据点[14]。

另一方面，同年11月28日[15]，荷兰与继位做柔佛苏丹的小儿子东姑阿都拉曼达成协议，在廖内设置驻军营地[16][13]，令荷兰掌握马六甲海峡主要航运通道的实际控制权[13]。

之后在1819年1月28日，莱佛士爵士抵达新加坡[2]。他旋即安排会见当时的天猛公阿都拉曼（Abdul Rahman），并在两日后签订临时协议[17]，而且事后立即举行英国旗升旗礼。但因为协议只属临时性质，所以仍然需要一份由当地苏丹签署的正式协议落实[11]。

不过，因为当刻是由小儿子东姑阿都拉曼做苏丹，而小儿子与荷兰关系紧密，所以莱佛士可以成功游说签订协议的机会非常低[18]。

莱佛士为了解决这个问题，他利用继位问题作为切入点，安排大儿子东姑胡先来到新加坡，指大儿子才是正统继位人，宣布承认东姑胡先为苏丹[18]，并在2月6日举行正式签署仪式，而且事后再一次举行英国旗升旗礼[2]。就此，新加坡正式开埠[2]。

重要周年年份纪念活动

新加坡政府会在特定的重要周年年份举办不同的纪念活动。最近一次新加坡政府大搞开埠纪念活动的年份为2019年的二百周年纪念[19][20]。

二百周年（2019年）

农历年庆祝灯饰（右侧拱门上以中英双语标示“纪念新加坡开埠200周年”）

为了纪念开埠200周年，当时新加坡政府提前超过一年，在2017年年尾已经宣布设立特别工作组专门负责筹备纪念活动的工作[20]。去到2019年，总理李显龙选择在1月28日，就是莱佛士首次登陆新加坡的日子，来为紧接下来的一年的开埠纪念活动举行启动礼[21][22]。纪念活动由政府，以及超过200个团体[21]，还有3,800名义工共同协助筹备[23]。当中包括演唱会[24]、灯光汇演[25]、历史展览[26]等等。官方亦都为200周年发行纪念邮票同钞票[27][28][29]。政府更向有需要的群体，以庆祝开埠二百周年纪念为由，特别发放额外的税务优惠和社福津贴[30]。

一百五十周年（1969年）

1969年是新加坡开埠150周年，亦都是新加坡立国的第四年。当时新加坡政府是提早一年，即是1968年年初，就已经开始安排不同的庆祝活动[31]。

去到第二年，时任总理李光耀选择2月6日，在新加坡商会筹备的开埠150周年纪念宴会入面致辞，作为一连串庆祝活动的开首[32][3]。当年官方不单只发行纪念邮票与金币[33][34]，还特别邀请英国皇室出席开埠纪念活动。当时雅丽珊郡主（Princess Alexandra）就接受新加坡政府的邀请，代表英国女皇伊丽莎白二世出访新加坡参加。在新加坡的七日行程入面，雅丽珊郡主不单只参加开埠纪念节目，出席新加坡国庆日庆典巡游，亦探访新加坡居民[35]。

除此之外，当年还有不同的展览、演唱会、体育比赛等等不同节目庆祝开埠150周年[31][36]。

一百周年（1919年）

新加坡莱佛士黑铜雕像上嘅纪念碑

殖民地政府提早一年成立两个特别委员会，为庆祝开埠一百周年出谋献计[37]。“百年纪念委员会（Centenary Memorial Committee）”作为其中一个委员会，决定设立一个基金为高等教育同兴建一所本地大学筹集资金[38]。这个基金随后促成莱佛士学院（Raffles College）的成立，而学院最后会演变成今日的新加坡国立大学[38]。

当时，开埠一百周年纪念日被定为公众假期[39]。当日早上，时任总督在原有的莱佛士黑铜雕像的基座上面，为一块表扬莱佛士爵士的新纪念碑举行揭幕仪式[37]，赞扬莱佛士爵士在新加坡的发展上面所扮演的重大角色[40]，同时亦都以此为连串庆祝活动拉开序幕[37]。

开埠百年的纪念活动包括巡游、赛艇、圣安德烈座堂的感恩崇拜等等[37]。而新加坡上下不同的族裔社群，包括阿拉伯人、淡米尔人、穆斯林、欧亚混血群体与犹太社区等等，都有举行庆祝活动[37]。

五十周年（1869年）

夜晚的加文纳桥

加文纳桥 (Cavenagh Bridge) 于1869年开幕，来庆祝新加坡开埠50周年[41]。这条桥是以1859至1867年期间，海峡殖民地最后一任总督 William O. Cavenagh 爵士的名字而命名[41]。

这条桥是新加坡河上面，现存最古老的吊桥[42]。2019年8月，同时又是开埠二百周年的年份，新加坡政府宣布将这座吊桥列为国家古迹之一[43]。

    今年是新加坡的开埠200周年。1819年是我国发展史的转捩点。那一年，莱佛士登陆新加坡，并且在这里设立了自由贸易港，吸引了大批移民从东南亚、印度和中国到这里谋生。我们的华族先辈有的来自中国广东、潮汕和福建，有的则来自邻近地区如槟城、马六甲和廖内群岛。他们刚来时，大多只能做苦力，勉强糊口。不过，他们刻苦拼搏，结果都找到立足之地，在这里安家立业。一些后来做起小生意，教育程度比较高的会当老师、做记者。有些则成了大园主，或者创办了银行和贸易行。他们可以说是我们的"开埠一代"，为这里做出巨大的贡献。

It's known as a harbour for pirates at that time. In 1786, Francis Light established Penang the first British trading post in the Far East . Light had persuaded the Sultan of Kedah to cede Penang to the British East India Company in exchange for military protection from the Siamese and Burmese armies who were threatening Kedah. On11 August 1786, Captain Francis Light, known as the founder of Penang, landed in Penang and renamed it Prince of Wales Island in honor of the heir to the British throne. In 1790, when Sultan Abdullah of Kedah heard that the British would not give protection, he formed an army to get rid of the Dutch and the English. He assembled his men at Prai to retake the island of Penang but was defeated. Captain Francis Light had carried out night raids on the enemy's fortress. In 1791, Sultan Abdullah signed a treaty with the British handing over Penang Island to the British. Light promised to pay the Sultan 6,000 Spanish dollars annually. Today, almost two centuries later, the Penang State Government still pays RM 18,800.00 to the Sultan of Kedah annually.

The French Revolutionary Wars drastically reduced the Dutch position in South-East Asia but increased the French challenge to Britain. After the French invaded the Netherlands, William V fled to England and issued the Kew Letters (1795) instructing Dutch Governors overseas to transfer their territories to British safe-keeping. Britain consequently occupied the Cape, Ceylon, Padang (Sumatra), Malacca, Ambon, and Banda.

Sultan Abdul Rahman ascended the throne of the kingdom of Johor at the expense of his older half-brother Tengku Hussein who was away in the kingdom of Pahang for his wedding at the time of the passing of their father. Despite the support of certain members at court, Tengku Hussein was unable to claim the throne, and relegated to a quiet existence on an island (Pulau Penyengat).

In that same year, the Dutch negotiated a treaty with the Bugis-controlled sultan of Johore granting them permission to station a garrison at Riau, thereby giving them control over the main passage through the Strait of Malacca. British trading ships were heavily taxed at Dutch ports and suffered harassment by the Dutch navy.

In 1817 the court of directors confirmed him in the governorship of Bencoolen, and he took up his appointment there on 22 March 1818...Having received information that the Dutch were fitting out expeditions with the view of occupying all the most commanding situations in the Archipelago, Raffles urged upon his superiors the necessity of taking counter steps. Proceeding to Calcutta in the autumn of 1818 to confer with the government of Bengal, a voyage on which he was shipwrecked at the mouth of the Hooghly, he obtained authority to assume charge of British interests to the eastward of the Straits of Malacca, as agent to the governor-general, and prevailed upon the Marquis of Hastings, who had now been brought to express approval of his conduct in Java, to allow the occupation of Singapore. This almost uninhabited island he had selected even before leaving England as highly fitted for preserving to British trade free access to the eastern islands, and preventing the Dutch from securing the exclusive command of the eastern seas. He had discovered its capabilities in the course of his Malay studies. It was unknown alike to the European and to the Indian world, and it had been overlooked by the Dutch, who conceived themselves to have occupied every place available for securing the only two practicable approaches to the Archipelago—the Straits, namely, of Malacca and Sunda.

By this time, of course, Van der CapeIlen had heard of the British occupation of Singapore and had discussed it with Elout, Buyskes, and Wolterbeek. On 25 February 1819 he drew up a document summarizing his views and decisions. "From the somewhat confused reports sent in by the Governor of Malacca," Van der CapeIlen concluded that "it appears almost certain" that a British force under Raffles and Farquhar "has indeed set foot upon the island of Singapore." This island was "a dependency of the empire of Linga, Djohor, Pahang, Riouw, etc.," with which on 28 November 1818 the Netherlands government had signed a treaty wherein the sultan "acknowledged being a vassal of H.M. the King of the Netherlands and as receiving his empire as a lawful and permanent feudal tenure." This document perpetuated the treaty of 1784 which had "never been nuIIified or altered," as the action of former Governor Couperus in ceding Riouw was nuIl and void, never having been ratified by the government. Malacca upon reverting to the Dutch therefore included all the prewar dependencies. Farquhar's "so-called treaty" of the previous August was null and void, the sultan lacking authority to sign such an agreement, and it was expressly outlawed when the sultan in the treaty of 28 November 1818 (Articles 22 and 23) obligated himself never to cede any part of his territories nor to conclude treaties with other powers without consent of the Netherlands government, and abrogated all prior treaties.

    No such premonitions were apparent to Königsdorffer when the Dutch frigate Tromp dropped him in Tanjung Pinang on Bintan island. Sometime in November 1818, the Dutch had returned to their former possessions in the East Indies (Malay Archipelago) and were eager to renew their old alliances. Arriving in a show of military force on Pulau Penyengat, they promptly signed a treaty with the reigning Bugis Viceroy or Yang Dipertuan Muda Raja Jaafar, which was sealed with the stamp of Sultan Abdul Rahman Muazzam Shah of the Johor-Riau Sultanate. The flag of the Netherlands was raised on the island, and Königsdorffer was appointed Resident and Commandant over the small garrison of 150 men.

On 28 January 1819, Stamford Raffles and William Farquhar landed in Singapore and met with Temenggung Abdul Rahman to negotiate a provisional treaty. The Temenggung signed the preliminary treaty and allowed for a British settlement in Singapore provided the terms were approved by his patron, Tengku Husain. This agreement that was drafted on 30 January 1819 stated that the Temenggung was the "Ruler of Singapore, who governs the country of Singapore in his own name and in the name of Sree Sultan Hussein Mahummud Shah". 
  18. ^ 18.0 18.1 新加坡国家文物局. A Game of Thrones. Roots. （原始内容存档于2022年8月11号） （英语）. The reigning Sultan at the time was Tengku Abdul Rahman. Tengku Abdul Rahman was the second born son, and his older half-brother, Tengku Hussein Shah, should have been the rightful successor. However, Tengku Hussein Shah was away at Pahang at the time of the Sultan's passing in 1811, which led to his younger half-brother, Tengku Abdul Rahman, becoming Sultan instead. The hasty coronation ceremony to instate Tengku Abdul Rahman as Sultan before Tengku Hussein Shah's return was organised with a politically-charged agenda by the leader of the Bugis faction, effectively aligning themselves with the Dutch...Aware of this dispute, Raffles struck a deal with Tengku Hussein Shah, knowing that this man had the support of the Malay chiefs in Riau and Pahang. It was a calculated move on his part, since Abdul Rahman was crowned by the Bugis faction that allied themselves with the Dutch, and this may have presented challenges in the negotiations for a British trading settlement in the region. Raffles summoned Tengku Hussein Shah to Singapore, acknowledged him as the legitimate successor to the throne, and proclaimed him the Sultan of Johor. An official treaty was signed on 6th February 1819 with Temenggong Abdul Rahman and Sultan Hussein Shah, which gave the British East India Company the right to operate a trading post in Singapore. This acknowledgement was beneficial for both the Temenggong and Sultan Hussein Shah. Both men were paid a handsome sum of money yearly to uphold this agreement.

It was noted by the then-British High Commissioner, Sir Arthur de la Mare, that then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew wanted to give the visit 'all possible trappings', including 'as many guns as it [was] possible to fire', and to 'take the opportunity to make manifest [Singapore's] connection with Britain'. Such was the warmth and enthusiasm Singapore had towards the British back then! Princess Alexandra's visit to Singapore lasted for seven days, during which she interacted with everyday Singaporeans, officiated the opening of a reservoir, and most notably attended Singapore's National Day Parade as the principal guest. Throughout the visit, she was warmly received by Singaporeans.
