It is 6 February 1819. You sign the Singapore Treaty with the Sultan and the Temenggong. 

It is a sweet deal for all parties. The treaty authorises the British East India Company to "maintain a factory or factories on any part of the "hereditary Dominions" of Sultan Hussein.

In exchange, the British were obliged to provide monetary compensation for Sultan Hussein and Temenggong Abdul Rahman. Great Britain would pay 5,000 Spanish dollars and 3,000 Spanish dollars every year to Sultan Hussein and the Temenggong Abdul Rahman.

Sultan Hussein also assured that the company would be protected from enemies in return for the same commitment from the UK, but Britain was not to get involved in internal conflicts. 

There is also an exclusivity clause. Sultan Hussein and Temenggong guaranteed Great Britain that they would not enter into any treaty with any other power European or American.

"I look forward to a long and productive partnership, gentlemen." You say as you shake hands with Sultan Hussein and Temenggong.

Meanwhile, the Dutch and your own government are unhappy with this whole business
