Statue of Raffles at the spot where he is believed to have landed on 29th January 1819
Marble Carving introducing Raffles.
Q: Consider this open adulation of a colonizer. What kind of impact does it have on a nation's history?
It credits and glorifies colonization of the nation, hence it may make the nation's identity blurred. In Singapore's case, this glorification is justified taking into account how the colonization has eventually set the foundation for future development.
