Synopsis:

 

Across the straits from Indo-China, comes a story of The White Elephant. When the King demands for a white elephant, a clothes washer and a pot maker try to get each other into trouble by telling lies to the King. In this humorous and witty story, the plight of the two tricksters teaches children about greed, selfishness and arrogance.

On our very own homeland, there is a story – an old story that took place at a time when not many people were living in Singapore. The king of the jungle is none other than Singa, who has our island as his home. Trouble begins to brew when Gumboonga, the Master of Shadows, tries to burn down the jungles, depriving other animals of their home. This struggle between the hero and the villain reveals the unknown story of Bukit Batok -Why The Hill Coughs.
