Join the superhero duo as they unearth fascinating facts like: - Which animals have escaped from the Singapore Zoo? - How long was the very first MRT ride? - Where can you see a tiger car? (And what on earth is a tiger car??) The answers to these burning questions and much more in Danger Dan and Gadget Girl’s guide to Singapore’s past.
