WTF CNN?

 

[YaoSiuKia]

Nothing new. Prostitute press, what do you expect?

 

[SBFTirak]

Sir Stamford Raffles never jump out from his grave?

 

[steffychun]

The Orang Utangs founded Singapore

 

[Leepotism]

Even the foreign media were conned into calling him Founder of Singapore. Repeating a lie too often can become the truth. Founder my foot!

The first PM in Singapore is not Lee Kuan Yew. It was Lim Yew Hock.

Lim was the Chief Minister and not PM, you chump.

 

[halsey02]

Lim was the Chief Minister and not PM, you chump.

CM, PM, MM, IM...what is dar difference?? Chief Minister was when we were the State of Singapore, the equivalent of a Prime Minister..."a rose is a rose, by any other name".

"By Liz Neisloss and Holly Yan, CNN" are they paid to write HIS STORY or have they not read history or geography..or do a "google"??

The Orang Utangs founded Singapore

either that or Malay fishermen

 

[Sideswipe]

they probably meant founder of independent singapore.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

What's definition of 'founder'?
The prostitutes probably know old fart up lorry soon so now starts to pile on the accolades.
No worries, we will lynch them after the revolution.

 

[tonychat]

Ya. Founder of Singapore for foreigners.

See how his regime slowly and surely drive out authentic Singaporean out of the country.

There's also another story, that it was Stamford Raffles' sidekick William Farquhar, who really discovered the Lion City.

 

[Agoraphobic]

History as I know it: Stamford Raffles founded Singapore, this guy founded Peesai.

Cheers!

thought it was sang nila utama who found the island kingdom and gave it the name "singapura"?

of course the aborigines of australia found it first on their way out of africa and started crossing the indon archipelago to get to oz.

yup, heard about that. the revisionist he say i say history getting popular.

 

[eatshitndie]

raffles did not find singapore for sinkies. he successfully hoodwinked the then sultan of temasick to sign over dominion to the british east indies company.

The Orang Utangs founded Singapore

Its the Orang Lauts. And eventually its Sang Ni La Utama known as Parameswara. Im not surprised they have never errected a statue of Parameswara, but instead a statue of Stamford Raffles. So all the cock sucking SPGs like you get reminded to serve your ''colonial masters' each time you see his statue. But then again, SPGs needn't need to see it to get reminded. They do it willingly.

Why is it Stamford Raffles? I thought it is the Mats who found Singapore? They were here even before Stamdord right?
