Some May Also Recall The Bumbling Idiot William Farquhar, Who Could Not Even Be Trusted To Oversee The Colony And Execute Raffles' Clear Plan For A Few Short Years. This Ebook Attempts To Correct This Myth And Re-establish Farquhar's Significant Role Vis-à-vis Raffles In The Founding Of Singapore And Its Early Years (1819-1821), Via The Colorful Medium Of Rhyming Verse.
