On Easter Sunday, Sun 26 Mar 1967, sixty-one-year-old American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson walked out of the Moonlight Bungalow in Malaysia’s Cameron Highlands for an afternoon stroll. He left behind his passport, wallet, medication, and cigarettes on his bedside table. He carried no coat into a montane climate where temperatures plummet below fifteen degrees at dusk.

He was never seen again.

Over the eleven days that followed, more than 500 searchers—including British Army soldiers, Gurkha riflemen, Royal Malaysia Police units, tracker dogs, and indigenous Senoi Praaq scouts—swept the treacherous cloud forest. They found no footprints. No discarded belongings. No sustained scent trail off the pavement.

In this edition of Unsolved Asia, we strip away fifty years of folklore and geopolitical speculation to examine the case strictly through documented terrain geometry, official search logs, and public inquest records. Because decades may pass, and the jungle may cover its tracks. But people remember.

Someone, somewhere, knows the truth. Someone heard a car door shut. Someone noticed a passing shadow. Secrets don't vanish into thin air—they are kept.

In an era of mass-market ready-to-wear fashion, true bespoke craftsmanship requires patience, precision, and an intuitive eye for proportion. In this episode of the I❤️My Job series on The Chris Henson Conversation, we are joined by Suresh Mulchand, Chief Fashion Consultant and co-owner of Picadilly Custom Tailors.

Tracing back to his family’s trade roots along Bras Basah Road to their established boutique in Far East Plaza, Suresh shares candid insights on the tailoring business, managing client expectations, navigating economic shifts, and why the personal touch of a master fitter will never go out of style.

In September 1972, along the busy thoroughfare of Commonwealth Avenue near Queen's Circus, an inexplicable incident unfolded in broad daylight. Cheng Li Zhen, a 19-year-old seamstress walking with her sister, suddenly collapsed to the pavement.

Medical examiners later made an unexpected discovery: a low-velocity .22 caliber projectile, recovered without a single witness reporting a discharge, smoke, or a confrontation. Five decades later, the trajectory calculations, ballistics anomalies, and questions surrounding Block 21 remain officially unresolved.

We examine the forensic records, trajectory geometry, and investigative files of one of Singapore’s most enduring cold cases.

Anyone with historical information, archival context, or relevant recollections regarding the September 1972 Queen's Circus incident is urged to contact the Singapore Police Force cold case unit or submit an official confidential report via SPF online e-services.

In the 1990s, Orchard Plaza’s legendary three-storey Fire Disco was the epicenter of Singapore’s nightlife—and behind the decks setting the room alight was IvanRantung.

From commanding the dance floors of the golden clubbing era to becoming a household voice on Mediacorp’s Perfect 10 (now 987FM), winning the heart of television presenter LisaAng, and walking away with S$1,000,000 at the inaugural Changi Millionaire draw, Ivan’s journey sounds like something straight out of a movie script.

Join us on TheChrisHensonConversation as we sit down with IvanRantung to unpack the golden age of SG nightlife, vinyl beatmatching, broadcasting stardom, love, and life after the million-dollar windfall.

On Wed 14 May 1986, between 12:30 to 1PM, two 12-year-old boys vanished within a 500-meter stretch in broad daylight. Toh Hong Huat and Keh Chin Ann never made it to Owen Primary School for their afternoon session. What happened in that narrow half-hour window?

In this episode of Unsolved Asia, a special edition of The Chris Henson Conversation, we break down the geographic timeline and the unprecedented cross-border hunt that followed. We are revisiting this verified public record because those who lived, worked, or commuted along Owen Road and Dorset Road that afternoon are now in their 50s, 60s, and 70s. Even the smallest, seemingly insignificant memory could hold the missing link to bringing closure to their families.

On Sat 06 Jan 1979, an unimaginable tragedy took place inside a quiet residential flat at Block 58, Geylang Bahru. Four young siblings were lost in one of the nation’s most perplexing and haunting cold cases—leaving behind chilling contradictions, an unrecovered trail, and questions that remain unanswered decades later.

Welcome to the pilot episode of our new true-crime narrative series, presented as a special edition of The Chris Henson Conversation.

This initiative is our public service to Singapore and the wider region: to ensure that these stories and the innocent lives affected are never forgotten. By revisiting these verified accounts with care and accuracy, we hope that renewed awareness may bring crucial information to light, allowing members of the public to step forward to the relevant authorities so that long-overdue answers and closure may finally be found.
