The Bicentennial Trilogy - 1819

Witness one of Singapore’s major historical milestones 200 years ago, as told through the perspective of the first British Resident and Commandant of Singapore - William Farquhar. A poignant portrayal of life in colonial Singapore, ‘1819’ is the second animated short film in the Bicentennial Trilogy, and pays tribute to an often neglected figure of Singapore’s early story.

You can be forever thankful they did. Singapore would never have become as prosperous and successful as it is today otherwise. The British Empire lay the foundations that LKY and the industrious Chinese built upon.
