Help me find documentary about Singapore, please

Really good, wide, moderately deep.
Did my due diligence, searched streaming services, news sites, etc. A lot.
I recently watched a rather good documentary about Singapore. It covered the food courts, ambivalence about Raffles/colonial rule, the Indian Chettiars, the influence of three cultures, Malay, Chinese, Indian, the outbreak of man-eating tigers, WWII, and the history of sanitation and toilets in Singapore. It is not the National Geographic shows. Might be a travelogue.
Ring any bells? Please help if you can. Going nuts here, remember all the details of the show but NOT where I came across it. Thanks in advance.

Either way, you should also check out this BBC Four documentary that aired in 2005. It's about a road trip (yes, road trip) from London to Singapore in 1955: Timeshift: The Lost Road (Overland to Singapore)
