RE: A Satisfying Dining Experience at Romana Italian Restaurant

in Foodies Bee Hive • 6 days ago

Reading 'Raffles Place' immediately brings to mind the figure of 'Sir Stamford Raffles'. In my opinion, he was the most popular figure in the palace in Aceh in the early 19th century. He was one of the signatories of the 'Treaty Between the British and Acehnese Governments'. The transcript of this agreement is contained in the book 'Wanderings in New South Wales, Batavia, Pedir Coast, Singapore, and China; being the journal of a naturalist in those countries, during 1832, 1833, and 1834' by George Bennett.

He certainly has great services to Aceh, so the Sultan of Aceh, Sri Sultan Alauddin Jauhar Alam Syah, gave an award in the form of a medal to Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. I see this award is immortalized in the logo of the Raffles Institution. (www.ri.edu.sg).

I hope one day I can visit Singapora and walk around the alleys of Raffles Place.

        Thank you for sharing this info @vannour! I find it interesting that Sir Raffles also venture specifically to Aceh. He did a lot of good things here in Singapore which is why his figurines and paintings are everywhere here in the city.

        He's also revered in the Singapore History Gallery that I visited a few days ago. His contributions in building the modern Singapore is being praised here.

        I'm glad that he also did well in Aceh. Cheers to that!
