Wise, warm, and deeply respected, Teacher Anand represents the pillar of Singapore’s early education journey.
With over 40 years of teaching experience, he paints a vivid picture of life in the early days of independence, when chalkboards, wooden desks, and simple classrooms laid the foundation for a world-class education system.
Through heartfelt stories and gentle humor, he shares the transformation of Singapore’s schools, the resilience of its students, and the vision of its leaders.
Teacher Anand’s presence in the puppet show is both nostalgic and inspiring, reminding us of the value of knowledge in shaping a nation.

She takes the audience on a delightful journey through Singapore’s multicultural heritage, sharing tales of kampong life, traditional Nonya cuisine like ayam buah keluak, and festive customs that blend Chinese and Malay roots.
Auntie Aw celebrates the richness of our shared culture, showing how the Peranakan spirit adds flavor to Singapore’s vibrant identity. Her charm and wit make her a favorite for audiences of all ages.
As the proud descendant of the lion that inspired the name “Singapura,” King Leo is the noble storyteller of the island’s mythical beginnings. He recounts the legendary encounter between his ancestor and Sang Nila Utama, and how that moment sparked a roaring legacy.
With powerful presence and passionate pride, King Leo takes audiences through Singapore’s evolution from a humble fishing village to a dynamic, modern city-state.
His stories embody courage, strength, and unity—the very traits that define our Lion City spirit.
