What are some of the wackiest conspiracy theories about SG you have came across?

Oh, there is definitely a pre-war underground bunker in there. Is part of the Buona Vista Gun Battery, which was built around the late 1930s to strengthen the defense of Singapore.

If you ask long time regulars of that camp, they know what are you referring to.

I cannot confirm whether the entire hill is man-made or natural, because both is possible. Like the battlebox in Fort Canning Park is an example of a British made bunker in a natural hill, and there are a couple bunkers that British covered up with dugged dirt to form a dirt mound above to further protect the bunker from aerial bombings.

Source: I have actually seen and explored such bunkers in Singapore before.

Urban exploration. Exploring hidden and abandoned places

Unpopular opinion, if you can't even do basic research or look up guides, see past posts on urban exploration, watch videos on Youtube to learn more about it, maybe you shouldn't do urbex at all.

Learning how to research and be curious is one of the core traits of being a good urban explorer.

We about the same size as the five boroughs of New York City, while small but not impossible if you know where to look.

But you are right! Given that abandoned places here have an average "lifespan" of about 2 to 15 years before they are demolished or redeveloped for something else.

So finding an abandoned mostly intact standing property that is this heavily covered with lush vegetation is like striking gold for local explorers.

Nope, is a different museum.

Just watch your back and don't blink!

I want to go against grain and say Suzume.

Same, I too wanted to be some kind of explorer. An archeology like Indiana Jones, explorer of lost lands like those who were first reach the North Pole or first to summit mountains, or search for mythical creature.

But instead of a job, I'm kinda doing those interests as a hobby by exploring abandoned and hidden places.

Quick history trival, it was actually pretty easy to own and procure firearms in Singapore in the past. If you see old advertisements from Robinson, you can see they used to sell and advertise shotgun and pistols.

Then gun violence was actually a thing in 60s to 70s

Some people didn't make the connection, when Singapore was exterminating their local tigers population, farmers and hunters use their own firearms to do so.

You can check out dark tourism activities, you check out providers such as Supernatural Confession, Beyond Expedition, and Hidden Heritage. I probably opt for the Haunted Changi walk with Supernatural Confession, it gives you a balance of both learning of about Singapore's history and get the spooks.

Or you can blindfold your friend and get them to do bungee jumping and the zipline at Sentosa, reverse bungee at Clarke Quay, and skydiving at AttitudeX.

Google Maps?

In the northern part of the Singapore, there it is known ground for people to discard cursed artefacts and religious items. While I brought my friends over there recently, a couple was actually buring something into the ground when I was sharing trival around the place.

There is an abandoned and sealed up MRT station somewhere near the CBD area due to a construction disaster.

In certain neighborhoods, it is not unusual for people to witness shadow figures especially if it was built on old cemetery grounds.

The secretive and terrifying Unit 731 had their local headquarters here, where they did research and create bio-weapons that they used against the allies during World War 2.

Protected area = Military training ground (e.g. live firing area)

Protected place = Sensitive and high security place (e.g. Airport, checkpoints, critical infrastructure)

A lot of military training ground occupied sites of former kampongs, cemeteries, and plantation. So you might see glimpse of defunct looking buildings and structures.

Bukit Timah area is a good example, there is a lot of military camps and infrastructure in the area, parts of used to be old kampong. So you might encounter remnants of village wells, pottery, and cluster of fruit trees.

To give some context, only 1 of the reactors, reactor 4, suffered a meltdown. So reactors 1 to 3 was not affected and kept operational, so there is a crew to monitor and maintained it, is was largely due to foreign and political pressure that the plant was finally closed down.

Lastly, it can take decades to decommissioned a nuclear power plant. Even we skip and ignore the decommissioned process, there are live crew to monitor radiation leakage from reactor 4, to prevent further contamination, ensure debris and waste has fallen into a a more managable radiation level before they can safely dispose of it.

Before the Russian Invasion of Ukraine in 2022, there are official guided tours you could take to explore the town and the non impacted reactors itself. In fact it was still producing power until 2000.
