National hero of Singapore?
The national hero of Singapore is often considered to be Sir Stamford Raffles, who is credited with founding modern Singapore in 1819. His vision for Singapore as a strategic trading port and his establishment of British colonial rule laid the groundwork for the city-state's development. Raffles is remembered for his contributions to Singapore's growth and his efforts in promoting trade and cultural exchange. His legacy is celebrated in various monuments and institutions across the country.

When and how did europeans come to Singapore?
Europeans first arrived in Singapore in the early 16th century, with Portuguese explorers being among the first to reach the region. However, significant European involvement began in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles established a British trading post on the island, recognizing its strategic location along the Strait of Malacca. This move marked the beginning of Singapore's transformation into a major port and trading hub under British colonial rule. Subsequently, Singapore became a key part of the British Empire in Southeast Asia.
What are the problems faced by early settlers in Singapore and their solutions?
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.

When was Singapore under British imperial rule?
Singapore was under British rule from 1819 till 1963. (It was taken by the Japanese early in 1942 but reverted to British rule in 1945).Singapore only officially became a British colony in August 1824. Before that, the British only had the rights to start a trading settlement. The Sultan at that time, had only given the British a piece of land to build a settlement in the southern part of Singapore island, as Singapore was still a territory controlled by a Malay ruler. Therefore, the answer to this question is, 1824 - 1956

How did the dutch react to the british claiming Singapore and why?
First, some background information. Singapore then was under the rule of the Johor Sultan, Abdul Rahman. His elder brother, Tengku Hussein did not become the Sultan after their father died because Abdul Rahman was by their father's side at his death and people decided to make him Sultan. Tengku Hussein had no choice but to go and live in Riau. Then Raffles learnt about it and he simply reinstated Tengku Hussein as Sultan and signed a treaty with him to let the British use Singapore. (NOTE: Abdul Rahman is under the influence of the Dutch who were the British's rivals hence Raffles could not ask Abdul Rahman to sign a treaty as the answer is surely a no and the Dutch will go and claim it.) The Dutch were angry that the British had not asked for their consent to claim Singapore. Furthermore, they find it illegitimate and hence threatened to use force to claim Singapore. They also offered to give up their ports in India. (NOTE: They do not have air transport then, so strategic locations really matter for trade. Singapore was located right in the center of the Malay Archipelago and on the China-India tea-opium trade route. Very strategic for trade).
