The statue

I think the museum should put up Raffles's statue as Raffles did alot of things for Singapore. He gained permission from the Dutch to get control over Singapore. Without this, I don't think that there would ever be Tan Tock Seng in Singapore. Raffles made free trade in Singapore and this attracted alot of people from other countries to come here. He came up with a town plan for the residents of Singapore. He put William Farquah in charge of helping to stop pests from breeding and to stop fighting and robbery. Although he had to leave Singapore, I still think that he did more things to help Singapore than Tan Tock Seng. On the other hand, Tan Tock Seng set up a hospital for leapers and did many other things but he was not the one who made Singapore prosper
