The Singapore Changi Airport is made up of terminals. Terminal 1, the main terminal, started operating 29 December 1981 and handles the main flow of passengers that arrive, depart or transfer, in and out of Singapore. Terminal 2, which only serves Singapore’s national airlines, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Silkair (a subsidiary of SIA), was officially opened on 1 June 1991. Currently, the Budget Terminal, which handles the flow of passengers that take budget terminals, had started operations.

Today, Sentosa is a name falmiliar to both Singaporeans and international visitors. For tourists, a visit to Singapore is counted as wasted and incomplete if they did not spend at least a day on Sentosa. As for Singaporeans, Sentosa has become our recreational playground, with increasing repeat visits as a result of the many events and promotions that the island introduces.

Shaped like a boomerang, Pulau Ubin is an island off the northeastern coast of Singapore. An island covered with low hills, it is currently being developed into a nature park complete with trails, shelters, camping sites, chalets, and other basic amenities. Works will be fully completed by the year 2000. Much of its natural environment will be preserved and visitors can still experience the rustic village atmosphere encompassing granite quarries, coconut and rubber plantations, mangrove swamps, fish and prawn farms, and traditional fishing kelongs or huts. Pulau Ubin also has a natural haven of plants, birds, and insects found in its mangrove and forest areas. This island is a great place for mountain biking, hiking, and camping.

Kusu Island is sacred to both the Muslims and Taoists. There is a legend attached to the Malay shrine and Chinese temple that is on the island. It is said that a giant turtle had transformed itself into a large rock, in order to save two shipwrecked sailors - one was Malay and the other Chinese. Taoists make annual pilgrimages to the Tua Pekong Temple during the 9th lunar month, while Muslims visit the Kramat Kusu, which is a Malay shrine. Stunning views of the mainland can be seen from Kusu’s beaches and its hilltops. The warm waters of the lagoon are ideal for swimming.
