On this day 195 years ago, Sir Stamford Raffles signed a treaty recognising Sultan Hussein as the rightful Sultan of Johre in exchange for Singapore and modern Singapore was born, out of English commericial wit and cunning no less.

(And I wil go berserk if anyone brings up that stupid city under the Malaccan sultanate before Raffles came. The Portuguese burnt it down to the ground! Forget it man!)
