EP. 0 - THE PREFACE
Updated: Dec 24, 2022
EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
So much of who we are is where we have been. History may not seem all that important in this modern world but as we venture into a future unknown, it influences us individually in ways we cannot always conceive.
In The Story of Singapore, we will discover the rich tapestry of our Singaporean heritage, from backwater kingdom to economic miracle.
