Cannot say tat. Alot of military generals did alot of good for the country. It's just singkieland generals seem to be school boy dictators...

William Farquhar is the real hero and benefactor of Singapore. His good work and legacy has been overshadowed and hijacked by Raffles.

 

[borom]

For those who love Farquhar so much they can visit Farquhar Street in Penang=if you don't know where-ask Penang born Khaw to show you.
These people really " chiak liao bee" -must be too F …….. free.
When we have many locals who are jobless and now unable to collect their CPF Retirement Sum until 65 , NS men dying during training, unaffordable medical care ect2, you have these bunch of people talking about such nonsense.
Does it matter who contribute more, Raffles of Farquhar? Sheer waste of time, money and resoures

 

[steffychun]

Mother Farquhar. What a nice swear word.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

he was fired by raffles for allowing gambling, vice, prostitution, human trafficking (debt slavery), opium smoking, substance abuse, loansharking, pubic drunkeness, addiction, firecrackers to run rampant in sg. that was how sg attracted all kinds of criminals, gangs, losers, hookers, the worst rejects from shitdia and china.

Wow he’s my kind of guy

That said, Tommy Koh has lot's of weird ideas lately. Gay, Mimimum Wage now this.

I have a sneaky feeling that the pappies are going to use the Singapore Bicentennial event politically for the upcoming election, similar to how LKY's death was used for the previous election.

Now you are the one twisting my words again. My story has clearly stated how KT latha bullied me using ccb lies and how LJ Mccully is a protector of such bad behavior culminating in me shouting at him and he fired me to save his face.

 

[syed putra]

Sinkie fsrquhar embrace local culture and i read had a native " fuck-ku-hee".

There you are wrong. History allows you to understand human behavior now too, not just in the past.

6.9k “merchants” a.k.a. triad gangsters to be exact. he allowed and appointed triad leaders as caretakers and protectors of their syndicates, and they gave him a cut of their ill-gotten gains. that was how the british buffoons operated in melaka, penang, and then sinkapore without upright supervision from raffles. in penang, you can still visit the mansion of triad king. he ran penang’s vice, prostitution rings, gambling dens and opium trading like a mafia lord, and all his criminal activities including murder and debt slavery were condoned by his british masters. same in melaka. same in sg. appoint a ruthless top gangster in charge and everything would fall into place in chinatown.

Where is your historical proof of the 5000 merchants from malacca being gangsters? From what I see, good people like Tan Tock Seng did move from Malacca to Spore. And he became a merchant philanthropist. So why can’t other honest merchants from malacca move to Spore?

 

[ginfreely]

that was why sinkapore atrracted the worst from fuking province. prostitutes, debt slaves, coolies, unmarried due to poverty, poor looks, congenital disease, poor genetic stock. always cursing and blaming others for their self-inflicted shit. that poorest of poor attitude among sinkies carries to this day.

No hokkien immigrants are proven the best from Tan Tock Seng to me. Philanthropists and charitable spirit abound in us. Do you ever receive commendation for putting in extraordinary effort in fundraising? Of course not because you are a mean spirit. And cursing and blaming criminals stealing slandering and harassing me is nothing wrong. Only defender and protector of bad criminal behavior like you will blame the victim of crimes.

 

[borom]

Penang farquhar different from sinkie farquhar.different people.

Yes, you are right.
Penang=Sir Robert Townsend Farquhar, (1776 – 1830)
Singapore =Major General William Farquhar (1774 – 1839)
Both are Scottish and worked for the East India Company in what is to be later the Straits Settlement.
I guess that's as close as you can get

I agree, study of history is important ,even though it was a subject I hated in school because of the way it was taught (memorising dates and this and that dynasty).
However history has to be studied openly -not only from the point of view of the ruling party.
Why did Shan attacked PJ Thum so fiercely on March 2018 , the last day of the sitting of the Select Committee on Deliberate Online Falsehoods?
I quoted the below from Wiki
"...….....170 academics...……. criticised the hearing as an attempt to attack and destroy Thum's credibility and discredit his research, with the effect of stifling the freedom of expression and academic freedom in Singapore A letter from six of Thum's colleagues at the University of Oxford's Project Southeast Asia also expressed concerns about how Thum was treated at the hearing, saying that Thum's research, which Shanmugam had criticised, had "already met the rigorous standards of examination at Oxford and peer review by fellow historical experts on the region". The letter also expressed concerns about the "implications for academic freedom, and for freedom of expression in Singapore", saying that the hearing "appears designed to intimidate those who seek to publish the truth".

Poor victim Farquhar went to complain to directors of East India Company about his unfair dismissal by Raffles and requested reinstatement of his post. The directors asked Raffles and he dismissed the complaint as nothing. So Farquhar can only die with injustice writing on his tomb that he founded Singapore. Poor thing indeed.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Farquhar

On his tomb, there is the following inscription in block capitals: "Sacred to the Memory of Major General William Farquhar of the H.E.I.C. Service and Madras Engineer Corps who served in the East Indies upwards of 33 years. During 20 years of his valuable life he was appointed to offices of high responsibility under the civil government of India having in addition to his military duties served as Resident in Malacca and afterwards at Singapore which later settlement he founded. In all the stations which he filled he acquired honour to himself and rendered service to his country. He departed this life at Early Bank, Perth, on the 11th of May 1839, highly respected and deeply regretted by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance."
