About Singapore ->Islands -> Singapore

Sentosa was originally known as Pulau Blakang Mati (meaning 'the island behind which lies death' in Malay). It was believed that the island got this name when a malaria outbreak wiped out the entire Bugis community that was residing on the island.

From a fishing village, the island was later turned into a British military fortress until 1967 when it was handed back to the Singapore Government. In 1968, the Government decided to develop the island into a holiday resort for local visitors and tourists. The public was invited to suggest names for the island and "Sentosa", meaning "peace & tranquillity" in Malay, was eventually chosen to depict the island resort.

Today, Sentosa has evolved to become Singapore's favorite leisure island resort. Nature, history, recreation and fantasy - Sentosa offers all these and more in a fun, entertaining and educational way.
