Should we follow the example of Zimbabwe or South Africa by tearing Raffles off his smug pedestal and throwing him into the river?

raffles never found SG,it already existed as temasek a 1000 years before ..raffles was tasked to find another choking point in the Malayan archiepelago as a competition to the Dutch who had the entire Indonesia including the spice islands in their control

the supervision came from Penang, whose governor was not too pleased with establishing another place ..it was not only Raffles but Farquhar was also was with him during the search ..Farquhar choice was the Karimun Island but Raffles chose Singapore instead

Ur twisted logic might as well say Christopher Columbus did not find America.

I don't mind discarding Sir Stamford Raffles, but PLEASE, PLEASE don't replace it with dishonourable son's father.
