The bronze statue of Sir Raffles is located at the Mooring North Pier on the Singapore River, where he landed in Singapore. The bronze statue is erected in memory of Sir Raffles, the founder of Singapore. When Sir Stamford Raffles discovered Singapore at the age of 38, Singapore grew rapidly under the influence of his free trade concept and became the first free trade port in Asia. Sir Raffles referred to Singapore as "my child" and Singaporeans honored him as "the father of the nation". His footprints in Singapore can be seen everywhere: Raffles Girls' High School, Raffles Hospital, Raffles Hotel, The Stamford Hotel, Stamford Road, Raffles Road, Raffles Place, Raffles Cabin of Singapore Airlines. But this statue is just a replica. For a glimpse of the prototype statue, be sure to walk to the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, which is directly in front of the building.
