Excerpts from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundin...dern_Singapore
"Raffles returned to Singapore in 1822. Although Farquhar had successfully led the settlement through its difficult early years, Raffles was critical of many of the decisions he had made. For instance, in order to generate much-needed revenue for the government, Farquhar had resorted to selling licenses for gambling and the sale of opium, which Raffles saw as social evils. Raffles arranged for Farquhar's dismissal, and set about drafting a set of new policies for the settlement."
Has our government forgotten who is SIR STAMFORD RAFFLES?
