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. The city of Singapore got sacked and destroyed most of the city, and the terrible massacre took place after the invasion.
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.
