    This series gives the vibes of an old show called Hey Singapore. That time was a female host exploring Singapore if I remembered correctly. Also a gd show.

  11. CityofGardeners Sg on July 31, 2021 at 1:05 am

    Romours have it that the big Nparks ranger office complex is now abandoned because of excessive panoramic encounters by staff stationed there

  12. AWX Plays on July 31, 2021 at 1:08 am

    Many years back and before I joined a tour to Shantung, I went to Nautre Park nearby to build my stamina and explore.I went right up above the quarry pond to enjoy the beautiful sight up there.Out of curiosity I climbed up a steep hill and through a gap to discover a historical description of a shinto shrine. which was supposed to.be atop the steps where the transmission tower. stood.I was dusappointed ut was gone but I have dine research on the invasion and was told by an old neighbour that prisobers of war buikd8ng the Macrutchie shre and working at Sine Riad were pitifully skinny and scrawny beyond their and description.In fact,the imperial army pushing through the forest to Eng Neo Avenue and massacred the villagers who.dudnt escaoed was the final.battke ground befire The British surrendered and signed it at Ford Factory between general Yamashita and General Percival the next day.

  20. Grace Lee on July 31, 2021 at 1:16 am

  21. General Kenobi •77BBY on July 31, 2021 at 1:16 am

    Let’s make a history series, this guy is perfect

  22. Nicky Choo on July 31, 2021 at 1:17 am

    If I find the gold can I keep all the gold.

  23. Adam Fua on July 31, 2021 at 1:18 am

    Ghosts is ghosts lor .

  24. Patrick Poh on July 31, 2021 at 1:25 am

    Lens flare… No?

  25. ZuL-K9 on July 31, 2021 at 1:25 am

    Seeing Shawn Li Gave A Nostalgic Feeling

  26. MojoRisin on July 31, 2021 at 1:26 am

    Hi, perhaps it might be nice to revisit Hindu Temples and/or shrines which were moved to new locations or just seized to exist. in fact, i’m sure there are a few that still exist. might be a nice episode.

  27. Marc Yeo on July 31, 2021 at 1:27 am

    Why did NParks reject the application to enter MacRitchie Park in search of the remnants of the shrine, for this documentary is beyond me 🤦🏻‍♂️
    At the end of the day, its for our knowledge to our own history & im pretty sure, Adrian & his team will take whatever necessary steps to avoid getting lost or result in any injury.
    I hope NParks will reconsider his request to enter, after all there is already an imposition of a Fine for those who enter the said area of MacRitchie Reservoir

  28. Ellen Tan on July 31, 2021 at 1:30 am

    Love Adrian Pang!

  29. Boon Tan on July 31, 2021 at 1:33 am

    I am 69. I know where the shrine was, not in Bukit Batok but in the MacRitchie

  30. Jarrod Yuki on July 31, 2021 at 1:33 am

    japan could have kept syonanto if it won midway and coral sea.

  31. taeyoh on July 31, 2021 at 1:36 am

    I always get excited when a new episode is up!! Weeeee. Love this showwwwwwww ♥️ can do about the abandoned hdb estate at lim chu kang?

  32. md rushan rusley on July 31, 2021 at 1:38 am

    This is the only my fav show in mediacorp.. more on history of singapore… hope this will continue….

  33. xeenslayer on July 31, 2021 at 1:38 am

    I feel bad for Adrian. Every episode he has to humour these superstitious pantang people and pretend to take them seriously out of respect… d’oh. And also he cannot visit a lot of these places because either it’s against the law, must be damn sian.

  34. 1001KISAHJEPUNG on July 31, 2021 at 1:40 am

    honma..

  35. Jia Yee Tan on July 31, 2021 at 1:40 am

    When Shawn Li is sharing his recounts him and his team experience, there’s one part of the video (with the bridge) which gives me the feeling that there is something over there.
    Anyway, the place is actually near to my school Ngee Ann Polytechnic (can take bus 184) and is called Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

  36. Rommel Flores on July 31, 2021 at 1:41 am

    Like this one, in the Philippines the World War 2 myth of the treasure is also debatable. It will always stay as a myth or an urban legend.

  37. Francis Teo on July 31, 2021 at 1:41 am

    Why nv features bukit brown cementry n mt pleasant.

    The water tomb. who exactly is lieing there. Also the bullllet hole at the tomb inside the cementry….

  38. Sago on July 31, 2021 at 1:41 am
