Best Answer

Sang Nila Utama founded Singapore but Sir Stamford Raffles is the founder of modern Singapore.

Juinano: However, Major William Farquhar was the major contributor to Singapore's success. Raffles just signed the treaty and left soon after, only to return at intervals to check on progress. Thus, most of Singapore's success is attributed to Major William Farquhar. Thus, he should be the rightful ruler of Singapore.
