开埠两百年：
‘Raffles arrived in Singapore on 28 January 1819 and soon recognised the island as a natural choice for the new port. It lay at the southern tip of the Malay peninsula, near the Straits of Malacca, and possessed a natural deep harbor, fresh water supplies, and timber for repairing ships. It was also located along the main trade route between India and China... He offered to recognize Tengku Long as the rightful Sultan of Johor, given the title of Sultan Hussein and provide him with a yearly payment of $5000 and $3000 to the Temenggong; in return, Sultan Hussein would grant the British the right to establish a trading post on Singapore. A formal treaty was signed on 6 February 1819 and modern Singapore was born.’ - Wikipedia “History of Singapore”

Admire his respect for the ownership of this island and insistence on a formal treaty.
It is what we say in Singlish “law by law”. Our respect for law and order must have originated since then.

We shouldn't mark 200 years of british rule. Nothing to be proud of colonialism. In fact we should eradicate all signs of our colonial heritage. Like what india has done.
