From Singapore to Singaporean: The Bicentennial Experience

Singapore Bicentennial Office

Show

Where does the Singapore story truly begin?

Travel 200 years into the past and explore this retelling of our history. Starting with Sang Nila Utama in Act 1, we witness the rise and fall of Singapura and the ascendance of the Johor Sultanate, before it all culminates in Act 2 with the arrival of the British in the 19th Century and our increasing importance as a trading port. Expect exciting pencak silat fights, reenactments of famous scenes in history, a look at some of Singapore’s lesser-known founding fathers and of course, Raffles and Farquhar, locked in a love-hate relationship. Exciting.
