[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.
Under the leadership of its ambitious warlord, Gajah Mada, Majapahit started to embark on overseas expansions against all kingdoms of the Malay Archipelago.
Wikrama Wira refused to do so and even sent a symbolic message threatening to shave the Majapahit king's head should he proceed to Singapura.
[9] The furious Majapahit king ordered an invasion with a fleet of 100 main warships (jong) and many smaller vessels under the command of Damang Wiraja.
Parameswara assassinated the local ruler after 8 days, then ruled Singapura for five years with the help of the Çelates or Orang Laut.
[14] As mentioned in the Malay Annals, the story of the fall of Singapura and the flight of its last king begins with Parameswara's accusing one of his concubines of adultery.
In 1398, Majapahit dispatched a fleet of 300 jong and hundreds of smaller vessels (of kelulus, pelang, and jongkong), carrying no fewer than 200,000 men.
