“On Forbidden Ground”

The fresh scent of morning hung in the air and the dew of yesterday’s rain sparkled, not yet dried on the breadfruit tree.

Tread lightly, for treasures lay beneath…..
Porcelain, Chinese coins, Indian beards, Javanese jewellery, all dating back hundreds of years at the archaeological dig. Visit a mysterious 14th century tomb reputed to hold Singapore’s last ancient king (also known as the person who founded Malacca). Uncover scandals and controversies at Singapore’s first Christian cemetery, which reads like a “who’s-who’ and “who-married-who?’ And finally, find out about the murder that changed the course of Singapore’s history!
Keramat Iskandar Shah / Archaeological Dig / Spice Garden / Christian Cemetery / Fort Canning Centre / Old Fort Gate
