Dialogue between Temenggong and Raffles :

Raffles: Temenggong Abdul Rahman, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Sir Stamford Raffles from Britain.

*translator translate to Temenggong*

Temenggong: Sir Stamford Raffles, I am also honoured to have pleasure of meeting you. What do I owe for the pleasure of this meeting?

*translator translate to Raffles*

Raffles: I would like to present you a proposal to establish a British Trading Settlement here in Singapore with your permission.

*translator translate to Temenggong*

*Temengong thinks for a while*

Temengong: I am not in a position to give you an answer. Only the Sultan could allow the British to establish a Trading Settlement here in Singapore. However, the Sultan of Singapore is under control of the Dutch whom I doubt will allow the British to establish a Trading Settlement here.

*translator translates to Raffles*

*Raffles seems deep in thought*

Raffles: Thank You Temengong for the information. I will consider my proposal together with the information you have given me. Again, I thank you Temengong for this information and I will approach you for any further assistance if needed. 

*smiles*

Temengong: *smiles*
