Listen to the last episode:

At the mouth of the Singapore River once stood a massive inscribed stone that may have been the oldest written record ever found here. No one could decipher its inscriptions, but its historical significance was never in doubt. This episode tells the baffling story of how the colonial British administration blew up the fabled Singapore Stone in 1843 to make way for a fort. We cover how that single decision erased 500 years of our early history, but also contributed to the  aura of one of Southeast Asia’s greatest archaeological mysteries.

Tell You First is an original podcast produced by Mediacorp and Ministry of Funny (@ministryoffunny).
