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.

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.
