Stamford Raffles

Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles is one of the key persons who are responsible to the founding of modern Singapore. He played an important role in forming a British Settlement, Singapore, in the Melaka straits despite facing rejections, such as Dutch or even resistance in London itself. He is a controversial person even in his time. Hence there is no doubt that there are lots of information about him and founding of Singapore in the internet. However, how do we assess these websites for its appropriateness

words. Part1: About two hundred years ago, Raffles arrived at a small fishing village in Melaka Strait, took charge of it and started a new generation. Now, this small fishing village is named Singapore and became one of the most globalized countries in the world. Raffles, the adventurer in 1819, is still an iconic hero in Singapore’s social memory. This paper will interpret the founding of Singapore in 1819 as a result of four main factors: Raffles’ ambition as a clerk of the East India Company

Raffin’s Childhood Story “Okay, class. Today we learn the politics of...­” was what the class remembered before they all dazed off. They dreamed of studying combat and becoming soldiers, the most noble of professions, but not for Raffin. His mother had taught him at an early age that his father was a corrupt king, someone he should never trust or follow. She died when Raffin was still young, but he knew what she meant. He had to follow a profession that did not benefit a king, but instead helped

The Public Advocacy Office The Public Advocacy Office fits my pre-conception of how a professional setting would look. When I noticed that some of the workers was of mixed races, it made me happy. In a work meeting that I attended, the advocate’s spoke about issues that were dear to me like issues dealing with inmates on Rikers. The work that the Advocate’s do should reflect the needs of the community. By the Advocate’s advocating issues that are necessary to the community, it leaves room to seal

The Cabin In the middle of nowhere, clear back on a dead end road in a tiny town called Outing, there is a cabin. It is in Minnesota. When you picture a cabin in your head you think of a log cabin built entirely of wood that has a big fireplace in the living room and deer heads hanging on the walls. This cabin was different. It was a small, run down white house that my family has called “the cabin,” way before I was born. It had a small fireplace in the living room that I have never seen be used

engaging games in an area on the cusp of the beautiful River Thames. Chelsea Football Club London is the birthplace of English football as we know it, and that has given way to one of the most significant stadiums of our favourite pastime. The Stamford Bridge Stadium is home to the Chelsea Football Club. It was only capable of holding a few hundred people and now several thousands come to these watch games played monthly on a lawn field.

The hotels that we are writing about are The Ritz Carlton Singapore, the Intercontinental Singapore Hotel and the Marriott Singapore. Our main hotel will be the Ritz Carlton Singapore. We chose the hotels as they pose as prominent hotels in Singapore and they are also known overseas as well.

I have always loved aircrafts and long haul flights. We boarded award winning Singapore Airlines in LAX with about 30 hours of travel time ahead of us. With 8 magazines, 6 movies, 4 meals and a sleeping pill, the time went quickly and I arrived relaxed and ready to explore. American airports are not very people friendly. Singapore 's ultra-modern airport invites you to linger with free internet terminals, a cinema, rooftop swimming pool, aromatherapy spas, oxygen bars, indoor nature garden with waterfalls
