Topic: Who Really Founded Singapore?

I believe that Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles founded Singapore long long ago because he first landed in Singaopore on 28th January 1819 and with genuis and perception changed this destiny of Singapore from an obscure fishing village to a great seaport and modern metropolis. Raffles persuaded Temenggong to allow him to start a settlement. On 6 February 1819, Sultan Hussein and the Temenggong signed a treaty with the British allowing them to build a settle in the southern part of Singapore island. If Raffles had not landed in Singapore, Singapore might be the same as what it was today.
