Reflection Topic 2

I would choose Stamford Raffles' statue to be erected in-front of the museum because Tan Tock Seng already has a hospital which is so famous and big that everyone knows and he only helped by donating money to build hospital. Although he did a part to build up the Singapore we have today, it was Raffles who helped Singapore to cross over the first difficult situation, which is getting the first treaty with Sultan Hussein signed. Without Raffles, there will not be Singapore. Without Singapore, Tan Tock Seng will not be in Singapore. Thus, with Raffles, Singapore starts. With Raffles, Tan Tock Seng was then able to come to Singapore and build the hospital. Thus, Raffles is more important than Tan Tock Seng. And thus, his statue should be erected.
