Synopsis
Singapore’s coastlines underwent massive reclamation to make room for places like the Marine Parade, Changi Airport, and MBS.
Once, they were part of the sea and saw a lot of action and their fair share of mysteries: why did the Dutch and Portuguese battle off the coast of Tanah Merah in 1603? Why did the Okinawans come to prewar Siglap? How did a rubbery latex make a modern sultanate possible?
