Statue of Sir Stamford Raffles

Erected in 1887 at the Padang to celebrate the Queen's birthday, the Sir Stamford Raffles Statue is one of the main attractions to look out for in the trail. It was relocated to face the sea in 1919, to salute the people who helped contribute to the Founding of Singapore. As we visited this landmark, we felt a strong sense of gratitude. Afterall, Sir Stamford Raffles helped to build the foundation of Singapore. Without him, Singapore would still be a small fishing village.
