Back-of-House Guided Tour: Former Supreme Court – Unseen, Unheard ($25)

Usually off-limits to the public, this experience takes you through secret passageways, the prisoner’s dock, and even the Chief Justice’s private lift. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of Singapore’s most high-profile cases since 1939 and get a courtroom view from both the judge’s bench and the accused.

Accused of a crime you didn’t commit, can you prove your innocence?
