Seven hundred years ago, Sang Nila Utama stepped on the shores of a forgotten sea town called Temasek. It was believed that he saw a lion and named the island Singapura, the Lion City. Henceforth, Sang Nila Utama and his descendants, the legendary five kings of Singapura ruled the kingdom from a palace on Bukit Larangan, the Forbidden Hill.
Who was Sang Nila Utama? Where did he come from? Did he actually see a lion? Why did the kingdom come to an end? What happened to the last king?
The Sacred Hill gives a fresh view of the myths and legends of Singapore. Read the story with an open mind, be transported to the time of a bygone era and enjoy the discovery of old world charm and mystique.
