This episode, we explore Singaporean folklore, and realize that there is more historical context to the stories, than the popular narratives.
The Malay Annals, a historical chronicle of the region, throws some light into these 'legends', and we learn more about the history of the region, which unfolds centuries before Stamford Raffles ever set foot in Singapore.
