Here is a glimpse of William Farquhar's character, provided by Munshi Abd Allah Ibn Abd Al-Kadir, who lived in both Malacca and Singapore when Farquhar was Resident:
"It was Mr. Farquhars nature to be patient and tolerant of other peoples faults; and he treated both rich and poor alike, never looking on one person as more important than another. If a man however poor and lowly came to him with a complaint he would attend to him quickly and listen carefully, giving advice and direction until the mans mind was set at rest, so that he returned home full of gratitude. Whenever he travelled about in his carriage or on horseback the rich and the poor, and the children too, saluted him and he at once returned the compliment. He was ever generous to all the servants of Allah. Truly all these qualities I have related were as cords tying the hearts of the people to him."
