Imagine a place in Singapore where Malay kings once ruled in the Middle Ages, where the British decided to surrender to Japanese invaders during World War II, and where some of the world's biggest music hits were played to attract audiences. This unexpected set of events took place on a hilltop in Fort Canning Park, one of the country's most prominent historical landmarks. Originally known as Bukit Larangan or "Forbidden Hill" in Malay, the park today is filled with an area of 18 hectares, and is filled with distinctive and varied attractions, from ancient artifacts that attract history buffs, outdoor lawns suitable for concerts, and of course, green spaces ideal for nature lovers.
