THE NATIONAL MUSEUM HAS DECIDED TO ERECT A STATUE INFRONT OF ITS ENTRANCE. THEY HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN STAMFORD RAFFLES AND TAN TOCK SENG. IF YOU WERE WORKING FOR THE MUSEUM, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE ?
If i were working for the museum, i would choose Mr Tan Tock Seng as he is a role model to everyone. Although he was rich, he never neglect the poor and donated money. He built a hospital for immigrants to seek medecal help at little or no cost. He is also a philanthropist and often do charity. He even paid for the funeral expenses of people he do not know and let them have a proper burial so their body will not rot on the streets or alleys. He also did the Asia proud by being the the first Asian to be appointed Justice of the Peace and he helped in settling problems and disputes in the Chinese community.
Raffles only founded Singapore but did not really helped to developed Singapore into the way it is now. He did not made his dream into a reality.
Therefore, I will choose to erect Mr Tan Tock Seng's statue outside the National Museum's entrance.
