2 Jul (Sat): Free talk "Southern Haunt" by Debby Ng

In the past years, Pulau Hantu has remained mostly unheard of and even shunned by the same community which once celebrated her. Debby Ng, founder of The Hantu Bloggers, revists the jewel of our Southern Islands, and shares a year of discoveries.

Time: 3-4pm
Venue: The Programme Zone, library@Orchard, Ngee Ann City
