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.
With his long Malayan experience, and an intimate knowledge of Riau-Lingga politics, Major Farquhar was given the task to help Sir Stamford Raffles found a settlement on Singapore island. He helped negotiate the provisional agreement of 30 January 1819 with the local chieftain Temmengong Abdul Rahman of Johore; and the more formal Singapore Treaty of 16 February 1819, which Raffles signed with the Temmengong and His Highness the Sultan Hussein Mohammed Shah, confirming the right for the British to set up a trading post.
Raffles did contribute to the raising of Singapore but I think William Farquhar also deserves some of the credit. He was the person who really developed Singapore while Raffles was away. Although he did not use Raffles plan, he was quite successful.

LOL ok I just learnt this in history this year. Gonna see how much I can remember. XD anyway, it depends on what is your definition of 'founder'. Most of us would automatically think, Sir Stamford Raffles. But actually, his partner, William Farquhar, was the one who made Singapore flourish and prosper. He helped with the problems Singapore faced in her early years, whereas all Raffles did was to have the amazing foresight that Singapore would be a good trading port (that's why the two of them came to Singapore). Also, there is John Crawfurd, who signed some treaty of some sort, which allowed the British to have the whole of Singapore. All in all, there is no real 'founder', all of them - all of the people in the past had a part in building up singapore's past to the present. Yeah, so, hope I helped you in some sort. ~sorry if there's any typo/wrong info~ ^^
he helped write the treaty
The sultan then was controlled by the Dutch since the Dutch endorsed him as the Sultan in 1818. Tengku Hussein was the eldest son of the previous Sultan, however he was away at Parang when his father died, thus his brother claimed the position of the Sultan. Though many malay officials who were Tengku Hussein's supports were against this, they couldn't do anything since the Dutch was too powerful for them. When Raffles arrived at Singapore and wanted to establish a port in Singapore, he couldn't ask the Sultan to sign the treaty since he was controlled by the Dutch, and the Dutch obviously wouldn't allow it. Hence, when raffles promised to recognise tengku hussein as the rightful sultan of Johor and Singapre in the condition that Tengku Hussein sign the treaty which allow him to establish a port in Singapore and to colonise Singapore.
