Sir Stamford Raffles or Tan Tock Seng ???

If I was working for the National Museum, I think I would prefer it to be Sir Stamford Raffles.Why ?
Well, maybe it would be because of the place would be a museum.I believe that a museum is a place where they keep materials from the past and people may go and learn more about the past events and what people in the past may have used.

I believe that raffles was the founder of Singapore and he did many things like making singapore into a british colony,and he made Sultan Hussein and Temenggong to sign a treaty with the British.

Tan Tock Seng also did a lot of things such as paying the funeral expenses as he had a passion for the poor and he was only one of the richest merchants in Temasek.He believed a decent funeral should be held for the dead.

But I see that this is more related to the funeral and hospitals and not about the past events. So I think it will be more suitable if his statue were to be on the front of the funeral places or big hopitals rather than the National Museum.

So from this, I think it is more suited if it were the statue of Stamford Raffles to be in front of the National museum. Thank you .
