William Farquhar was the first Resident and commandant of Singapore (from 1819-1823).

He established Singapore as a free port, set up defense positions at the Singapore River, prevented disease outbreaks and laid roads.

William Farquhar faced a challenge; the fear of being attacked by others.

However, William went against Raffles' orders and sold licenses for gambling and the sale of opium and liquor. William was the reason that Singapore grew into a bustling marketplace.

We think that Sir Stamford Raffles was the true founder of Singapore as he was the one who appointed Major William Farquhar and founded Singapore. He made sacrifices to establish Singapore into a successful trading port known to many.

. Raffles contributed to the establishment of Singapore as a trading port

. He sacrificed his reputation to found Singapore going against the colonial's wishes to not set up a trading port elsewhere. He also wanted to make selling opium and alcohol illegal but had to sacrifice that decision as well.

. Singapore gained popularity and money from being a successful trading port. Now Singapore is one of the world's most advanced country thanks to Raffles and our founding fathers.

Source 3: They come into the country without needing to pay tax so farquhar give tax for people that did the bad stuff and raffles think that what he was doing wasn't right and john agreed with Farquhar. Even though in the beginning the taxes thing was legal and now it isn't legal so now this might have caused the cause of the ban of drugs.

Source 2: Raffles was the lieut. governor of Java and the first President of the Zoological Society of London. He raised Java to happiness and prosperity. He founded Emporium at Singapore where in establishing freedom of person as the right of soil and freedom of trade as the right of port.

William Farquhar

William Farquhar was the real builder of modern Singapore. While Raffles signed the treaty, Farquhar stayed behind, managed the settlement, welcomed migrants, and made practical decisions that helped it grow fast. Raffles got the credit, but Farquhar did the work.

# data[].attributes.body
Farquhar was the first and only official to hold the dual posts of Resident and commandant in Singapore. He initiated the search for a new post and negotiated the commerical treaty with Riau that laid the groundwork for Hasting's instructions to Raffles to establish a new post. Even though Raffles had a higher responsibility for Singapore, it was Farquhar who built the settlement from scratch into a successful port.

His contribution had a great impact on the traders. It acted as a natural sheltered habour , good supply of drinking water and a halfway port between India and China.
