Critical feedback sent to Bob Hudson (3.1)

Dear John Miksic , Bob Hudson and Elizabeth Moore, Chinese coins of 10th and 11th century Song Dynasty ( Nothern Song) found in Englind, So Chinese were living in England and came claim ownership of the land partially. Refer the following. Quote {As Mark Bridge writes for the Sunday Times, the Northern Song Dynasty coin was discovered with a metal detector in a field in Hampshire, England. Dated to between 1008 and 1016 A.D., the 0.98-inch copper-alloy coin was the second medieval Chinese coin found in England; the first was found across the country in 2018 in Cheshire, per the Independent’s Jon Sharman. Other Chinese currency excavated in England dates to later periods }Unquote https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/medieval-chinese-coin-found-england-suggests-vast-medieval-trade-route-180976675/ If this is not the case do not propose and promote Chinese co-ownership of Singapura which not Chinese, not Arabians, not Malays but Indian Land (the land belongs to our ancestors). Also refer John Crawfurd's notes. Quote { Journal of an embassy from the governor-general of India to the courts of Siam and Cochin China; exhibiting a view of the actual state of those kingdoms Item Preview 72 EMBASSY TO SIAM the north declivity of the hill, nearly of the same size, is said to have been the burying-place of Iskandar Shah, King of Singapore. This is the prince whom tradition describes as having been driven from his throne by the Javanese, in the year 1252 of the Christian era, and who died at Malacca, not converted to the Mohammedan religion, in IS?^ ; so that the story is probably apocryphal. Over the supposed tomb of Iskandar, a rude structure has been raised, since the formation of the new settlement, to which Mohammedans, Hindus, and Chinese, equally resort to do homage. It is remarkable, that many of the fruit-trees cultivated by the ancient inhabitants of Singapore are still existing, on the east- em side of the hill, after a supposed lapse of near six hundred years. Here we find the durian, the rambutan, the duku, the shaddock, and other fruit-trees of great size ; and all so degenerated, except the two first, that the fruit is scarcely to be recognized. Among the ruins are found various descriptions of pottery, some of which is Chinese, and some native. Fragments of this are in great abundance. In the same situation have been found Chinese brass coins of the tenth and eleventh centuries. The earliest is of the Emperor of Ching chung, of the dynasty of Sung- chao, who died in the year 967. Another is of the reign of Jin-chung, of the same dynasty^ }Unquote Thank you. Best regards. adam khan
