That's a great question! It's always interesting to learn about the figures featured on a country's currency.
The person you see on the front of all current Singapore dollar banknotes is Yusof bin Ishak. He holds a very significant place in the nation's history as he was the first president of Singapore.
This current set of currency is fittingly called the "Portrait Series," as it is the first series to feature a portrait of a key figure. Every denomination in this series, from the $2 note to the $1,000 note, features his likeness. So, when you're looking at Singapore's money, you are looking at the face of its very first president.
