Do you know what lies behind the Punggol forest? Have you watched Channel U – On the Beat 2 (U頻道的都市大發現), featuring the episode on the Punggol forest which have lots of pot on the wall?

After this episode was showed, newspaper and others start to speculate and go around giving different answers or explanations to the pot along the wall.

Something mystery in the neighbourhood?

Who you call?

No la, API is not a ghost-busters. We are juz passionate in uncovering lost history, researching urban legends, hosting unusual tours/events, resolving mystery. Therefore, we decided to find out the truth behind this wall of pots.


(this is not my hand, so girly)

And we manage to find out the owner, Mr Chan. A sole proprietor, a businessman and also a hunter. And we contact his 3 sons and eventually led us to the truth. Read it now, and find out the REAL truth.

All were wrong! This place is a ZOO previously. It is the Singapore 1st registered Zoo, but the 2nd Zoo in Singapore Island. So where’s Singapore 1st Zoo?

The 1st Zoo in Singapore also known as Babujan Zoo was also along the Punggol Road. It’s a small one, owned by one 有钱人 before the World War 2.

He charged very exp, 50 Cents Adults and 25 Cents children to visit his beautiful zoo. (Imagine how exp is it b4 WWII). It was his own pte zoo, half biz half zoo. He imported and exported animals to and fro all over the world.

可是，人算不如天算。可恶的世界大战二, forced everyone to evacuate within 24hours. But 时间不够，thus they were let out to roam freely.

Ok! Back to the 2nd, yet 1st registered Zoo, called the Singapore Zoo. It covered an area estimated 5 football fields. WAH!!  

This Zoo of his, is open FREE to the public. Donations were more than welcomed. Funds collected were donated to charities and the building of Community Centers for the people. He was an admirable and charitable man. There were no assistance or sponsorship from the Government or other companies. He built this Zoo relying solely on his business trades.

The Zoo housed many animals. They include Sea Lions, Tigers, Snakes, Crocodiles, Tapirs, Birds and many many more. Circuses in Gay World, brought in animals from this Zoo to perform. The Zoo was entirely man made. Every pond and every single structure were man made. Walls with various sections were decorated with Pottery and Corals.

Not many people know about this Zoo.
