・No toilets, parks, or shops
・There was a building that looked like a dormitory.
・It is classified as an inhabited island because it has permanent residents, but it is close to Jurong Island and should be uninhabited for military security reasons.
・In Singapore, there were also islands in this area where people used to live, and there were schools at that time. Two Malay graves still remain today.
