When Will These Idiots Learn?
Snapped this photo while driving.
Apparently written by FTs claiming LKY is the founder of Singapore
when it is a known fact that the Founder of Singapore was actually
Raffles.

Read the above post in TRE. I believe Singapore was founded by the original natives of the island. Or for those who want to play with semantics, would only want to know the existence of Singapore after the British arrived and called it Singapore, maybe should rephrase it to say who renamed this island as Singapore for the British Empire.
Whatever, Singapore was there all the time. And there were many people of different countries in the island when Raffles came. How did Raffles found it when there were people already on the island?
Only those who read English history books would think Singapore was not there and only came about because the English history book said it was founded by Raffles. The Ali, Muthu or Ah Seng in the island when Raffles came did not found Singapore, not counted.
Or the island like magic, floated up when Raffles came and found it. Or it was so misty, no one could see this island floating there, until Raffles saw it and shouted, I found it?
What do you think? Who is the bigger idiot? Below is a comment with a counter comment.
Great Asia:
Shallow Zhenzidian,the founder of India is?The founder of Singapore is not Raffles either.
What does the name “Singapore” tells you?

That you must make yourself a fool here?
Don’t call people “Shallow”
When you yourself are a Dumbo
These are easily available historical info
But you don’t seem to know
It shows your intelligence is totally zero
In Malay they call you “bodoh”
And the unthinking one is....
The concept of I found it originated from the arrogant Christian Doctrine of Discovery from the Pope, The underlying principle was that the people of the world, other than the white Christians, were subhumans and had no right to own their land. The white Christians were bestowed the right of ownership of all the land occupied by non Christians by God. That was the beginning of white European conquest and colonisation of the world. Everywhere they went, they claimed to found the land, from the continent of Asia, Africa, the two Americas and Australia.
If you are an arrogant white Europeans, it is understandable to accept this white Christian doctrine as the truth, the law. If you are coloured, non Christians, accepting this doctrine is to accept that you are subhuman and has no right to your land. You don't exist!
The same doctrine can be applied today if the Americans came ashore backed by their 7th Fleet and declared they found Singapore and take it over as their colony. Our presence in the island, what we have built, are immaterial to them. They are the conqueror with the blessing of their God.
Are modern people around the world, including Singapore, still want to subscribe to this silly white doctrine, that they are the superior people blessed by God to own and rule the world?
The real story of Singapore could be like this. Raffles came with his gun boats, landed at the Singapore River, rounded up the people in the island as prisoners. Those that resisted and ran were shot. Then he declared he founded this island for the King of England, the British Empire. After interrogation, he identified the village chief, forced him to sign on a piece of paper that he did not know what was written on it as proof that the island was legally surrendered to him. And Singapore became a part of the British colony, a part of East India Company.
It was not so innocent like there was no one in the island, or the people in the island stood by doing nothing or even welcoming these pirates on shore to take over the island peacefully.
PS. When you read history books written by the whites, their literature, think. If you don't, you will be made suckers and fools by them when everything was written in their favour, with their interests, not yours. Still believe in Singapore being founded by Raffles, America founded by Columbus? They would whitewash all their crimes against humanity, genocide etc as if their conquest of the world was a tea party, without bloodshed and cruelty.
