Who really founded Singapore?

The true founder of Singapore would be the man who established himself to building institutions or making small buismesses in the country hoping it would prosper and to me that man would be Sir Stamford Raffles. His vision for Singapore was not that it would become a rich nation but that it would be a harbour and trading port for traders especially those from the east -india company.However it was this vision that made what Singapore is today.Other claimed founders like Sang nila utama for instance was only a tale written in the Sejarah Melayu and had very litlle evidence to show that there was really a city in temasek ruled by this so called Prince. Raffles was the only british who even thought of having a british trading settlement in Temasek.Unlike William Farquhar and John Crafurd Raflle had known what was to become of Singapore from the first day he spoted singapore however Crafurd only signed the treaty and went off without even helping establish the trading settlement in Singapore.William Farquhar only asked settlers from Melaka to come to Singapore to help with the lack of food problem and he only solved the living conditions of the people however his intensions was to help the people and was nothing to close to establishing a harbouror an trading settlement .
