Yes they were in love
William Farquhar
no he is not Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles is the founder. William farquhar is the 1st resident of Singapore.He was in charge of everything in Singapore when stamford raffles left Singapore.
William Farquhar was dismissed by Stamford Raffles due to disagreements over governance policies in early Singapore. Farquhar's lenient and profit-oriented approach clashed with Raffles' vision of stricter control over trade and development in the region. Raffles believed that Farquhar’s policies were hindering the long-term strategic interests of the British administration.
when Raffles came back to Singapore, he found out that Farquhar had done a bad job of raising the city. Farquhar had introduced opium selling in order to get money for raising Singapore. Raffles then separated the different races with a town plan. He also stopped opium selling.
He was appointed on 7th Feb 1819 and fired on May 1 1823
Raffles did contribute to the raising of Singapore but I think William Farquhar also deserves some of the credit. He was the person who really developed Singapore while Raffles was away. Although he did not use Raffles plan, he was quite successful.
Someone who is sort of Stamford Raffles's assistant and someone who contributed a lot to Singapore in becoming a better place.
Sang Nila Utama founded Singapore but Sir Stamford Raffles is the founder of modern Singapore. Juinano: However, Major William Farquhar was the major contributor to Singapore's success. Raffles just signed the treaty and left soon after, only to return at intervals to check on progress. Thus, most of Singapore's success is attributed to Major William Farquhar. Thus, he should be the rightful ruler of Singapore.
Raffles is visionary
There were several problems that contributed to the difficulty of establishing European settlements in Singapore. First of all, the effort was under-funded. The arrangement for rule split power between Sr. Thomas Raffles, and Major William Farquhar, who didn't share the same leadership styles. For example, when Raffles had to depart for a period of time, leaving Farquhar in control, he returned to find that licenses had been given out to set up gambling operations, and sell opium. Rafferty was opposed to both. Fortunately, he was able to work a deal to get Farquhar sent away.
