| Sentosa Info + Photo Album | ||||||||
| Welcome to Sentosa. It used to be known as Pulau Blakang Mati (meaning 'the island at the back which lies death' in Malay). It was believed that the island got her name when a malaria outbreak swept out the whole Bugis villagers who was then dwelling on the island. The island was later turned into a British military fortress from a small fishing village.
In 1967, she was handed over to the Government of Singapore. In 1968, the Governement decided to transform the island into a recreation resort for Singaporeans & foreign tourists to visit and relax themselves. The public was invited to give the island a name and in the end, "Sentosa" was finally chosen to portray the island resort. (meaning 'peace & tranquillity' in Malay) |
