- 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?

I need more documentaries like this about Singapore’s history. So fascinating
Now this is what I like! Mysteries of the old Singapore waterfronts!
From Pulau Tekong, if you travel up-stream along Johore River your final destination will be Kota Tinggi known as Johore Lama. TLDM* has relocated from the Admiralty Naval Base(Singapore) up to Johore River. * Tentera Laut Di-Raja Malaysia(Malaysian Navy)
Beautiful histories n momories of the past reminding us not to take things for granted from a fishing village becoming one of the modern cities in the world.❤❤❤😊😊😊
More documentaries, it enriched my mind and fascination.
Superb documentary! It Gives a clear explanation of how the modern Johor Sultanate came about. And the lineage is rather short.
Agree! Superb documentary and I learnt alot for this !!
Very well researched and great narration by Adrian Pang!
After hearing his pronunciation for the word "granite," then I know the narrator is not an English native speaker.
Thank you for putting together this documentary. It brought out interesting stories about Singapore's lost waterfront.
Two additional facts that might interest viewers:
(1) When Chinese trader Wang Dayuan visited Singapore (then Temasek) sometime between 1328-1333,
he noted that there were already mainland Chinese residents living alongside the local natives along Harbour Front.
They (Hokkien seafarers or merchants) probably originated from the Southern Chinese province of Fujian.
So mainland Chinese migration to Singapore started before Raffles founded Singapore as a British trading port.
(2) Many of the WWII buildings and structures in Singapore today,
e.g. in Changi, Sembawang Shipyard and Seletar airport, commissioned by the British to be built
had their origins in the British perception of growing Japanese threat since the early 20th century. Based on archival documents:
(a) As early as June 1909, the Committee of Imperial Defence (CID) has resolved that in the event of the termination of the alliance, the British fleet in East Asia should be reinforced “in order to neutralize the danger from a preponderant Japanese Fleet in the China Seas” .
(b) In May 1911, a CID paper presupposed a hostile Japan in the absence of the alliance & considered Japanese action in East Asia to be most likely if Britain were to be bogged down in a European conflict .
'Rochor Road' is formerly known in Malay as 'Rumah Panjang'.
Great to know old names of our streets and roads.
Nice... But you got me confused with the audio... Hahaha!!!
Botanic Garden? You can find the Istana of Sultan Abu Bakar of Johore Baru known Johor Darul Takzim(JDT)...DAULAT TUANKU!
Telok Blangah fengshui good, behind got hill, infront got water. Of course the Temengong don't want to run.
Bravo!
I enjoyed watching this program thoroughly esp the part about Punggol, my home. Where was the old zoo located? Thank you.
….I’m still stuck at : “We would hang the dead boars’ heads in our huts-if you had many heads in your hut, you were a hero “….
Good grief.
Beautiful
Where are those kids now? Maybe same age with me. Nee Soon School Camp, 1983. I was in secondary 3, then, in Toa Payoh .
Educational and important documentary, thank you. Dig up JB, it was once an important part of India's empire encompassing the entire region.
Our first Malay President 'Enche Yusof Ishak, YDPN*' is at Kranji War Memorial together with President Shearse. (*Yang Di-Pertuan Negara)
Is it my internet laggy or the audio is desync?
I think it is your internet.
❤❤❤
If,you come across this English word 'Board' it has an Anglo-Malay connection resulting in Singapore Emblem of 'A British Lion & A Malayan Tiger' with MAJULAH SINGAPURA!
Did India trades with ancient China? India did not move farther to East but more to the Southern where thousand islands existed. Hence, today we know these groups of island as (Indonesia)* with the spread of Hinduism...* (Indian Islands)...Sri Vijaya Empire.

This tiny Malay island of Singapore has saved and allowed many of the 'hungry starving immigrants' for a better livelihood from the Malay(Bugis) Sultanate of Johore.
