On The Red Dot: You Think You Know (But You Have No Idea)

There are some institutions and places that are familiar to most Singaporeans, so much so that many don’t even think about it much and accept it as a part of our lives. But peel back the layers and we discover that there is a lot we do not know. In this series, On The Red Dot takes an in depth look at some familiar names and locales, revealing little known facts and titbits of information about them, all guided by the people who work there. We’ll reveal the secrets and surprises of our museums, the post office and some of Singapore’s most well-known brands.
