On The Red Dot: Family Mysteries
Do you know who your ancestors are? How well do you know your family tree? Four personalities embark on a journey to unravel mysteries in their family histories. His grandfather and many others in his extended family look Eurasian, but musician Jack Ho grew up believing he was pure Chinese because no one in the family ever said they were not. Does he really have Caucasian blood? And if so, why was it never officially acknowledged? And who could this Caucasian ancestor be? For radio presenter Daniel Martin, his individual identity is a symphony of ancestries spanning across multiple countries on his maternal and paternal sides of his family. But while he is acutely aware of his Eurasian descent, he knows little of the first white ancestor on his maternal side, who came to Asia and began Daniel's Eurasian lineage. Who is his first Caucasian ancestor and why did he choose to stay? Content creator Hannah Alkaff knows very little about her paternal grandmother whom she had lost to a tragic accident when she was only 9. But she is aware that her grandmother was from Indonesia and had some connection with Pontianak royalty. How was her grandmother related to them? Is Hannah part of a royal family she knows nothing about? Singer Inch Chua always knew she came from a stock of tough women. Her biggest role model is her grandmother, who, despite being abandoned as a child, raised a family of four. But there is one woman in the family that has remained a mystery - her biological great grandmother. What drove her to abandon her child and was her life better for it?
