This video animation of the Istana Open House Adventures children storybook titled “The Curious Sounds Of The Istana” is a collaboration with Ngee Ann Polytechnic. The story brings forth the joy of four young intrepid children who visited the Istana during its May Day Istana Open House and discovered the hidden history and the beautiful grounds of the Istana. The children uncovered many trees and palms, and birds from the Istana grounds with a mystery map presented by Uncle John, a volunteer gardener.
The voice-over roles were dubbed by President Halimah Yacob, Nur Elmelda Shayriza Bte Abdullah from New Life Stories, Xander Lee Zhuo Yi from Club Rainbow (Singapore), Bhavya Bala and Iman Nuh Bin Rizal from Chua Chu Kang Primary School.
