Why was William Faquar sacked by Stamford Raffles?

William Farquhar was dismissed by Stamford Raffles due to disagreements over governance policies in early Singapore. Farquhar's lenient and profit-oriented approach clashed with Raffles' vision of stricter control over trade and development in the region. Raffles believed that Farquhar’s policies were hindering the long-term strategic interests of the British administration.
