I have been following this very interesting podcast The History of Singapore: http://thehistoryofsingapore.com/ for past 4 weeks as updates are weekly. This week is a short history of Singapore's election Since 1844 to today. Podcast by a local sinkie Dr. Thum. Worth listening to know how we became what we are today.
Allow me to quote from TOC about this podcast http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2015/08/singaporean-historian-launches-weekly-podcast/
Dr Thum Ping Tjin, a Singaporean historian who is a Research Associate at the Centre for Global History and co-ordinator of Project Southeast Asia at the University of Oxford, has launched a weekly radio show and podcast entitled The History of Singapore.
Planned as a series of 40 episodes, the podcast will cover Singapore’s founding as a British port in 1819 up to separation from Malaysia in 1963. Each episode is about 20 – 30 minutes long, and will begin airing on 7 August at 3pm on the Malaysian BFM89.9, The Business Station. It will also be made available online and via iTunes.
Thum hopes that his podcast will educate and entertain, bringing listeners on Singapore’s journey based on his own research.
