Major William Farquhar was the first resident and commandant.

He sat up defense position at the Singapore River and Government Hill, he also cleaned the Singapore River.

He faced head on with ingenuity and pragmatism for example, early Singapore was infested with rats and centipedes, he solved the problem by getting the locals to kill the pests for money.

The defense position kept us safe from the Dutch attacks to enforce their claims over Singapore.

something fantastic...

William Farquhar (Botak man) was the first resident of Singapore

He set up defense positions at the Singapore River and Government Hill (present-day Fort Canning) with the help of 100 Indian soldiers, due to the fear of a Dutch attack to enforce their claims over Singapore

William Farquhar made Singapore a free port, meaning that fees were not collected from ships entering the port

The port attracted many traders and laborers from Melaka to Singapore

Singapore faced a food shortage that was solved with help from traders from Melaka

He helped increase Singapore's attractions and increase Singapore's population

He made Singapore a bustling marketplace

However, he went against Raffles' orders and sold licenses for gambling and the sale of opium and liquor

Dr John Crawfurd was the 2nd Resident of Singapore.

Dr John Crawfurd contributed by reintroducing licences for publish gambling and the sale of opium. He also maintained the policy of free trade in Singapore, in accordance with Raffles' wishes. Furthermore, he also introduced Singapore's first newspaper and street lightning.

The challenges that Dr John Crawfurd was that the British had to overcome challenges posed mainly by Dutch dominance in the region.

Reintroducing licences for publish gambling and the sale of opium help Singapore by helping the society to maintain it protects individuals and society from the potential harms of problem gambling, including financial ruin, mental health issues, and relationship problems. The first newspaper can help people know what is happening in the world while street lights help cars and residents to see the road at night and protect their safty.

John Crawfurd was the 2nd resident of Singapore.

John Crawfurd introduced gambling and newspapers. He also did away with archorage and port fees so Singapore would continue to appeal to merchant traders throughout the reigon.

Crawfurd's contribution impacted Singapore by building roads, street signs and lights at night and the Singapore newspaper was set up. Most importantly, Singapore overtook Penang's colonial authority.
