==Singapore== In [[Singapore]], the number 999 was inherited from British rule and continued after independence. The number is attributed more to requesting for [[Singapore Police Force|the police]], with the number 995, established in 1984, used for direct lines to the fire brigade and ambulance services of the [[Singapore Civil Defence Force]]. Because most of the population of Singapore is Chinese, it is likely that 995 was adopted because the Chinese pronunciation for that number (九九五, jiǔ jiǔ wǔ) sounds similar to the Chinese phrase for 'Save me' (救救我, jiù jiù wǒ).
