In this episode of Haunting History, host Eugene Tay and guest Hafidz uncover the layered past of Nee Soon once Singapore’s largest plantation empire and home to the legendary “Pineapple King,” Lim Nee Soon. From the rubber and pineapple fields that shaped the nation’s economy to the military barracks and naval base that transformed its landscape, Nee Soon’s history is steeped in toil, resilience, and quiet tragedy. Eugene and Hafidz visit one of the area’s oldest surviving spiritual anchors, Wah Sua Keng Temple, and stand along the glassy waters of Yishun Dam, a place tied to wartime executions, unmarked graves, and the chilling legend of a crying baby heard in the night. They share eerie tales of haunted kampung houses, lingering spirits beneath rubber trees, and forest shrines that punish the disrespectful. In Nee Soon, heritage bleeds into haunting, where the soil remembers, and the past refuses to fade.
