I need more documentaries like this about Singapore’s history. So fascinating

I really love the CNA insider shows, I am from Malaysia and how I wish we have shows with this quality content and production… 😢

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.❤❤❤😊😊😊

Superb documentary! It Gives a clear explanation of how the modern Johor Sultanate came about. And the lineage is rather short.

More documentaries, it enriched my mind and fascination.

Agree! Superb documentary and I learnt alot for this !!

Now this is what I like! Mysteries of the old Singapore waterfronts!

'Rochor Road' is formerly known in Malay as 'Rumah Panjang'.

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 .

Botanic Garden? You can find the Istana of Sultan Abu Bakar of Johore Baru known Johor Darul Takzim(JDT)...DAULAT TUANKU!

Nice... But you got me confused with the audio... Hahaha!!!

Bravo!

Telok Blangah fengshui good, behind got hill, infront got water. Of course the Temengong don't want to run.

Beautiful

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.

Educational and important documentary, thank you. Dig up JB, it was once an important part of India's empire encompassing the entire region.

Where are those kids now? Maybe same age with me. Nee Soon School Camp, 1983. I was in secondary 3, then, in Toa Payoh .

Our first Malay President 'Enche Yusof Ishak, YDPN*' is at Kranji War Memorial together with President Shearse. (*Yang Di-Pertuan Negara)

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.

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!

Is it my internet laggy or the audio is desync?

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.
