Singapore Islands: The transformation of Pulau Sudong & Semakau

Singapore Islands: The transformation of Pulau Sudong & Semakau | The Islands That Made Us

As Singapore continued to develop, more space on the offshore islands was needed. In the late 1970s, residents of Pulau Sudong were relocated to mainland Singapore to make way for development. Today, Pulau Sudong belongs to a group of 3 islands used for military exercises.
By the late 90s, Singapore's only remaining landfill was filling up. Pulau Semakau and Pulau Seking were merged into a unique island that balances industry and nature, making it the world's first ecological offshore landfill.

===============
ABOUT THE SHOW: Up till the 1970s, Singapore's southern islands had vibrant island communities with unique identities. But today, names like Pulau Tekukor and Pulau Seringat have become largely unfamiliar to Singaporeans. Likewise, while reclamation has increased Singapore's land area by 25% in the last 200 years, some islands like Pulau Seking have been merged with other islands, and their names are now confined to history. But there is still much to be learnt from the 40-plus islands that make up Singapore today, and the people passionate about them.

As a foreign worker, I got opportunity to work there about a year ago for few months. We had permission to journey PSA to Semakuo through boat. I really would be enjoying working in the sea. It would help me get peace. Even I worked Pulau Tekong. Which is why, I would be going by boat a lot of time. Though I'm Bangladeshi but I have never been in the sea in Bangladesh🇧🇩. But I got the opportunity to visit Sea in Singapore 🇸🇬. I love really Singapore's sea. Nowadays I don’t get tranquillity like because I work at construction project. I guess, most of the local people don't know sweetness of sea. I urge them to visit by spending your half of a day to refresh your mind. Why do I say so, because the whole Singapore seems artificial. Only the sea looks natural such as Changi village to Pulau Bin. Much obliged to CNA for bringing this beautiful scenery. Hopefully you will bring more of this kinda things.
