Singapore’s remote corners were once waterfront homes of many types of wayfarers, from Kings, to pirates, spies and seals. What was the origin of the name Telok Blangah? Why were there spies out in Tuas, or seals in Punggol? And in what way did fishing ponds in Punggol contribute to world food security?
How did a rubbery latex make a modern sultanate possible? What went on in a desolated part of Tuas where volunteers learnt to wiretap and blow up trains? How or why did the Pacific War begin up North? And how was it that Singapore introduced the world to the Tilapia?

Superb documentary! It Gives a clear explanation of how the modern Johor Sultanate came about. And the lineage is rather short.
Nice… But you got me confused with the audio… Hahaha!!!
Telok Blangah fengshui good, behind got hill, infront got water. Of course the Temengong don't want to run.
Is it my internet laggy or the audio is desync?
Bravo!
All Chinese should migrate to the West, stay there forever and populate USA. Conquer without any battle or death 😂😂

I enjoyed watching this program thoroughly esp the part about Punggol, my home. Where was the old zoo located? Thank you.
