  • Fort Canning Park River Valley Road Singapore Singapore (map)

Did you know that Fort Canning Hill was once known as Bukit Larangan or Forbidden Hill?

This seemingly ominous name could have been given because legend has it that the hill was guarded by spirits and the ancient kings of Singapura once lived in the Royal Palace on the hill.

How much of this ancient kingdom tale remains a legend? Did some of the events actually take place?

Find out with Krishna Udayasankar, the author of 3, a novel based on the legendary founding of Singapore, during this reading and conversation session. Registration is required.
