Singaporean Malay dishes influenced by the food of the Malay Peninsula Sumatra Java and the Riau Islands tend to be adapted to local tastes and differ from their counterparts in neighbouring countries Although Malays are native to Singapore most Malays in Singapore today are either relatively recent immigrants from Indonesia and Malaysia or the descendants of these immigrants. Hence Singaporean Malay cuisine features a unique set of influences especially from Minang cuisine Spices and coconut milk are common ingredients although Chinese ingredients such as taupok (tofu puffs) and tofu (known as tauhu in Malay) have been integrated Many Chinese and Tamil Muslim adaptations of the following dishes also exist Pork is not used as it's prohibited in Islam.

All Singaporeans study English as their first language in schools under the compulsory local education system and their mother-tongue language as their second language Thus most Singaporeans are effectively bilingual especially the youths in today's society There are four main languages in usage in Singapore The 'national' language of Singapore is Bahasa Melayu This is in recognition of the Malay people as the indigenous community in Singapore 85% of Singaporeans do not speak Malay Malay is used in the national anthem national motto and military parade drill commands Tamil is an official language as a majority of South Asians in Singapore are ethnic Tamils from India and Sri Lanka While most Chinese Singaporeans are descendants of southern Chinese migrants who spoke a variety of regional languages it is the northern Chinese language of Mandarin that is official in Singapore though dialects such as Hokkien and Cantonese are still prevalent in the older generation of Chinese. 2.1 British invasion of Java, Soup tulang a local Tamil-Muslim dish of mutton or beef leg bones stewed in a spice The bones are broken to allow the marrow to be eaten, Casualties Rank insignia During the relatively brief British rule in Java Raffles negotiated peace and mounted some significant military expeditions against local Javanese princes to subjugate them to British rule Most significant of these was the assault on Yogyakarta on 21 June 1812; Yogyakarta was one of the two most powerful indigenous polities in Java During the attack the Yogyakarta kraton was badly damaged and extensively looted by British troops Raffles seized much of the contents of the court archive The event was unprecedented in Javanese history It was the first time an indigenous court had been taken by storm by a European army and the humiliation of the local aristocracy was profound. Although peace returned to Central Java in the immediate aftermath of the British assault the events may have fuelled the deep-seated instability and hostility to European involvement that ultimately gave rise to the Java War of the 1820s. Raffles also ordered an expedition to Palembang in Sumatra to unseat the local sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II and to seize the nearby Bangka Island to set up a permanent British presence in the area in the case of the return of Java to Dutch rule after the end of the War of the Sixth Coalition in Europe.

The decline in Arctic sea ice both in extent and thickness over the last several decades is further evidence for rapid climate change. Sea ice is frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface It covers millions of square kilometers in the polar regions varying with the seasons In the Arctic some sea ice remains year after year whereas almost all Southern Ocean or Antarctic sea ice melts away and reforms annually Satellite observations show that Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 13.2 percent per decade relative to the 1981 to 2010 average the 2007 Arctic summer sea ice retreat was unprecedented Decades of shrinking and thinning in a warm climate has put the Arctic sea ice in a precarious position it is now vulnerable to atmospheric anomalies. "Both extent and volume anomaly fluctuate little from January to July and then decrease steeply in August and September". This decrease is because of lessened ice production as a result of the unusually high SAT During the Arctic summer a slower rate of sea ice production is the same as a faster rate of sea ice melting.
