1852 CE to 1863 CE

Malays are the second largest group in Singapore until about 1860.

The followers of the temenggong had mostly moved to Johor, where many of them had died of smallpox.

The orang laut by mid-century have merged with other groups of Malay, who are drawn from Riau, Sumatra, and Malacca.

Generally peaceful and industrious, the Malays usually worked as fishermen, boatmen, woodcutters, or carpenters.
