Singapore's Little India: One Of World's Coolest Neighbourhoods? | On The Red Dot | Full Episode

Little India was never intended by Sir Stamford Raffles to be an area designated for Singapore's Indian community. Instead, it developed its identity organically over the years becoming an enclave for the Indians. However, its reputation of rich culture, heritage and food options became tainted with the Little India Riot about a decade ago.

But, that didn’t stop Little India from being ranked #19 on Time Out’s world’s coolest neighbourhoods in 2022! So what helped Little India become the coolest neighbourhood? Join Joakim Gomez as he walks on the wow side of Little India and discover gems that are not even found on google maps!
