Heritage preservation: to keep or not to keep

I feel that the monument that I choose to preserve is the statue of Stanford raffles. I strongly believe that it represents the history of Singapore and how Singapore was chosen as a British port and was colonized by the British which was a major part of Singapores history and without Stanford raffles, singapore probably would not have been where it is today. Thus I feel that's the future generation should learn about this man who changed Singapores future to become a better one and helped Singapore to get to how it is today. Learning about this events of history better allow the future Singaporeans to know their country better and understand it.
