This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2406:3003:2077:7fd:d1ec:f39e:ae79:c795 (talk) at 15:38, 24 July 2020 (→List of Islands: Changed some info). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of islands of Singapore. Massive land reclamation work over the past centuries has removed many of Singapore's natural islands and islets and has created a few new ones. At present, Singapore has about 64 islands[1], with only 3 being inhabited and 4 of them belonging to the Singapore Armed Forces.
