Individuals​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ must take a trip to the Singapore Discovery Centre to uncover the engaging tales, concepts, and novelties that have altered Singapore into the country it is today.

Every room reveals an entirely different side—its problems, its aspirations, and its relentless drive for progress.
