Tikus Island

Tikus Island is an islet off the northern coast of Penang Island in the Malaysian state of Penang. Located nearly 770 m (0.48 miles) off Tanjung Bungah, a suburb of George Town, this uninhabited outcrop is now home to a solar-powered lighthouse. This active lighthouse marks the northern entrance to the Penang Strait and hence, the Port of Penang. Also situated on the islet is a grave belonging to a local Muslim saint. The grave is still visited by local Penangites of various faiths, who occasionally come to seek blessings irrespective of their beliefs. Etymology The islet has lent its name to Pulau Tikus, a neighbourhood of George Town. The settlement of Pulau Tikus was established by Eurasian refugees in the early 19th century, who had earlier landed on Tikus Island. It was said that the name Pulau Tikus, which means 'Rat Island' in Malay, was inspired by the shape of the islet's rocks and dunes. Transportation Tikus Island is only accessible by boat. Whilst kayaks are available at the Penang Water Sports Centre at Tanjung Bungah, the rough sea current has hindered several approach attempts to the islet in the past.

Pulau Brani

Pulau Brani is an island located off the southern coast of Singapore, near Keppel Harbour. The island is situated between the main island of Singapore and the resort island of Sentosa, and is linked to the mainland via Brani Terminal Avenue. The area of Pulau Brani is 1.22 square kilometres (0.47 square miles). The island was previously home for Orang Laut, and in Malay, the meaning of Pulau Brani is “isle of the brave”. History Pre-independence The bulk of the island was occupied by the Malayan Command Ordnance Depot until 1937, when a new purpose-built depot was constructed at Alexandra on the mainland. The Straits Trading Co. built a tin smelting factory on Pulau Brani in 1890 to process the tin ores mined in mainland Malaya. The factory was on the island for more than 70 years before it had to move out to make way for the Brani Naval Base in the late 1960s. The British army had its maritime (water transport) base on the island, first with the RASC and then the RCT. Many families lived in the married quarters on the island. Primary children attended the British army school located near Buller Jetty, as did the children from army families on Blakang Mati (now Sentosa). Secondary age children had to go to the mainland by ferry, attending the Alexandra Schools at Gillman Barracks, then after 1964 either Bourne (in the Gillman buildings) or the then new St John's Comprehensive at what is now the United World College at Dover Road. Post-independence After Singapore's independence, Brani Naval Base was built on the island. In the year 2000, the base was relocated out of Pulau Brani to Changi and Tuas. The Police Coast Guard (PCG) took over the former site of the naval base in 2006, forming it into today's PCG Brani Regional Base. The rest of Pulau Brani was developed into the Brani Container Terminal. Redevelopment plans In 2019, then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced plans to redevelop Pulau Brani into a new tourist destination. Development will start after port operations on the island are relocated to Tuas Megaport, scheduled to be completed by 2027. In October 2025, the Sentosa Development Corporation began studying the possibility of implementing a people mover system connecting the island to the mainland, similar to the Sentosa Express to Sentosa. Popular culture Pulau Brani is featured in the 2021 video game Battlefield 2042 as the setting of multiplayer map Manifest.

Pulau Brani

La Isla Brani (en inglés: Brani Island; en chino: 布拉尼岛; en malayo: Pulau Brani)​ es una isla ubicada frente a la costa sur de Singapur, cerca del Puerto de Keppel. La isla está situada entre la isla principal de Singapur y la isla turística de Sentosa, y está vinculada con el continente a través de la avenida terminal Brani. El área de Pulau Brani es de 122 hectáreas (1,22 km²). Historia En un principio, sólo tenía Pulau Brani algunos pueblos malayos de pescadores a lo largo de la costa, como Saga Telok y Kampong Selat Sengkir. En 1845, se propuso la construcción de patentes de buques a Saga Telok que se encuentra en el lado norte de la isla. En 1846, Jacob Chinis publicó planes para la construcción de un dique seco en el mismo lado. El interés en Pulau Brani como base militar era ya evidente antes de 1822, con la realización de un gráfico basado en una revisión de la isla y sus costas en ese año por el capitán Franklin. En marzo de 1889, la isla se convirtió en una marina y en fuerte militar, a raíz de la decisión de transferir fuertes a las islas al sur del nuevo puerto de Keppel. En consonancia con lo anterior, la Comisaría y el Departamento de Artillería fueron trasladados a Pulau Brani. En 1890, la empresa «Straits Trading Company» inauguró una planta de fundición de estaño en Pulau Brani. En febrero de 1942, la planta fue destruida en vista de la rendición de los británicos en Singapur a los japoneses. Sin embargo, con el fin de la ocupación japonesa en 1945, la planta fue restaurada y se reanuda la fundición. En 1965, el arrendamiento a la «Straits Trading Company» había expirado y la empresa pronto se trasladó a otro lugar. Pulau Brani fue seleccionada para albergar una base naval a principios de 1971 por el entonces comando marítimo de Singapur (ahora Marina de la República de Singapur ). En aquellos días, había algunos asentamientos en la costa de la isla. En septiembre de 1971, el trabajo para el desarrollo de la base naval comenzó, y los aldeanos que viven en la isla con el continente fueron reasentados Singapur. Las obras para ganancias de tierras al mar de la Autoridad Portuaria de Singapur (PSA) se iniciaron en abril de 1972. La PSA también llevó a cabo la eliminación de los arrecifes, el dragado y la ampliación del Selat Sengkir (el canal entre Pulau Brani y la isla Sentosa) en febrero de 1973. La base naval nueva, entonces conocida como el comando marítimo de la base naval, fue inaugurada oficialmente por el ex primer ministro Lee Kuan Yew, el 26 de enero de 1974. La base fue rebautizada posteriormente Base Naval de Brani. Parte de la base naval fue reconstruida para levantar el Terminal de Contenedores. El 12 de octubre de 2000, el resto de la base fue cerrada oficialmente cuando sus instalaciones se trasladaron a la base naval de Changi. Las instalaciones vacantes serán asumidas por la policía de Singapur. Véase también Geografía de Singapur Referencias
Pulau Brani

Pulau Brani est une île située au sud de l'île principale de Singapour, entre Pulau Ujong et Sentosa. Géographie Reliée à Singapour par la Brani Terminal Avenue, elle s'étend sur un peu plus de 2 km de longueur pour une largeur approximative de 970 m. Elle contient de nombreux équipements portuaires militaires. Histoire En malais Pulau Brani signifie « île des braves » (berani). Dans un croquis de 1828 elle porte le nom de Po. Ayer Brani. Il y a au moins trois légendes malaises et plusieurs histoires concernant le nom de l'île. L'une d'elles propose qu'elle porte ce nom car elle était un lieu d'enterrement des anciens pirates guerriers. Simple village de pêcheurs au début du XIXe siècle, elle apparait comme base militaire dès 1822 et se développe comme port militaire en complément de Keppel Harbour en mars 1899. En 1890, une usine de fusion d'étain de la Straits Trading Company (en) y est ouverte. Sabotée par les Britanniques en février 1942 peu avant la capitulation de leur garnison de Singapour face aux Japonais, elle est restaurée et remise en activité en 1945 à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'île devient en 1971 une base navale de la Marine de Singapour. À cette époque, les habitants habitaient le long des côtes disposant d'un club sportif Pulau Brani, d'un club communautaire Pulau Brani et de deux écoles primaires, Tai Chong et Telok Saga. En septembre 1971 la base se développe et les habitants sont forcés d'abandonner l'île. Des terre-pleins sont alors ajoutés par PSA International (avril 1972), les récifs supprimés, un dragage et un élargissent effectués (février 1973). La nouvelle base navale est inaugurée le 26 janvier 1974 par le Premier Ministre Lee Kuan Yew et est baptisée base navale de Brani. Par la suite, une partie de la base navale a été réaménagée pour construire le terminal conteneur de Brani. Le 12 octobre 2000, la base est officiellement fermée et ses installations transférées à la base navale de Changi. Les locaux vacants ont été repris par la Garde côtière et par la Police de Singapour pour nouveau siège.

Labrador Park MRT station

Labrador Park MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line, located within Bukit Merah planning area, Singapore. Built underneath Telok Blangah Road near the junctions of Alexandra Road and Labrador Villa Road, this station was named after the nearby Labrador Nature Reserve. It is the nearest MRT station to the PSA Building and Gillman Barracks, the latter of which is now home to numerous art galleries. Etymology This station is named after Labrador Park, a historical site which held former fortifications and naval guns built by the British forces in Singapore before World War II. Another name is also Tanjong Berlayer. It is the name given to the craggy granite outcrop that formerly stood in the gateway of Keppel Harbour in Singapore. The rocky outcrop served as navigational aids to ancient mariners sailing through the swift waters of the narrow channel between them, but was subsequently destroyed by the British in 1848 to widen the channel for larger vessels to sail through. In 2005, a symbolic replica was erected by the Singapore government near its original site to mark the role in the history. It was also called Batu Berlayar in Malay, Dragon's Teeth Gate in English and Long Ya Men in Chinese. Art in Transit The artwork featured in this station under the Art in Transit programme is Without Which/Would Have Been/Impossible by Heman Chong. The art piece, located on the side of the lift shaft in the station, consists of the title of the piece and several coloured circles of different sizes arranged in a regular fashion. According to the artist, the motif came from a "microscopic view of a single rock" found at Labrador Park, highlighting the park's distinctive identity as the last surviving rocky sea cliff in Singapore.

The Sail @ Marina Bay

The Sail @ Marina Bay is a waterfront lifestyle condominium located in the Marina Bay area in Singapore. It was completed in 2008. The first tenants moved into Central Park Tower in July 2008. Residents moved into Marina Bay Tower a few weeks later. The structure of The Sail is 245 m (804 ft) with 70 storeys and is one of Singapore's tallest condominia/apartment buildings. This development offers panoramic city view of Marina Bay and the sea. It is close to some of Singapore's famous landmarks such as Suntec City, Marina Bay Sands, Esplanade, Telok Ayer Market and the Singapore River. The Downtown MRT station is built a few meters to the West of the building. The building was erected on reclaimed land, and the Central Linear Park is built on the South Side next to the building. History Before the site was sold to developers, City Developments Limited and AIG Global Real Estate, the .90909 ha (2.2464 acres) land parcel was sold as a "white site", which means the developer is free to use the site for commercial and/or residential use, by the URA. After the sale, the developer indicated their intention to use it predominantly for residential use with the first level or two for shop units. Their plan was approved by the government. Once completed, it included the first residential development in the New Downtown and is also the tallest predominantly residential development in the city. The 99-year leasehold site was launched for public tender on 14 March 2002. The original design for the building was 69 storeys for Marina Bay Tower, and 58 storeys for Central Park Tower. After the design was finalised by the NBBJ, the number of storeys was revised upwards to 70 storeys for Marina Bay Tower, and 63 storeys for Central Park Tower. Design The condominium was designed by Peter Pran and Timothy Johnson with leading design firm NBBJ. The two buildings include a glass facade, sculpted Marina Bay Tower to look like a sail, and configured the complex representative of a huge canyon, reflecting his utilisation of inspirations by the sun, the wind, and the water respectively. The site area is .90909 ha (2.2464 acres) with a maximum permissible gross floor area of 118,182 m2 (1,272,100 sq ft). It has 2,700 m2 (29,000 sq ft) of retail space, and an underground link to Raffles Place MRT station, offering 1,111 99-year leasehold residential units, 438 one-bedroom units, 418 two-bedroom units, 175 three-bedroom units, 75 four-bedroom units, and five penthouses, with the largest almost 840 m2 (9,000 sq ft). The architectural model of the structure was made by Richard Tenguerian. Construction The main-contractor, Dragages Singapore Pte Ltd, has allowed for many technical innovations in the design of the towers: seismic design - the towers can resist to earthquakes (although unknown to date in Singapore), construction over the MRT line, construction on a very unstable soil.

Farrer Road MRT station

Farrer Road MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Circle Line, located along the boundary of Farrer Court (Bukit Timah) and Tyersall (Tanglin) planning areas, Singapore. It is built underneath Farrer Road, the thoroughfare which gives the station its name, and is located near the Farrer Gardens Estate. Farrer Road was named after Roland John Farrer, who was President of the Municipal Commissioners from 1919 to 1931. To avoid confusion with Farrer Park MRT station, the station was renamed to Farrer Road on 11 January 2007. The station serves the nearby Farrer Gardens housing estate, many condominiums and private homes, schools, and places of worship. Farrer Road station is built underneath its namesake road, between the junctions of Empress Road and Woollerton Park. History The junction of Farrer Road and Empress Road had been realigned from 1 December 2004, this marks the start of construction of Farrer Road MRT station. The station was renamed from Farrer to Farrer Road on 11 January 2007. On 24 May 2008, a section of Cornwall Gardens above a section between Holland Village and Farrer Road stations along the Circle Line collapsed, creating a 3 metre deep hole. No one was injured, but some of the households lost their access to cable TV and Internet, as well as the water supply. This is the third road that caved in during the construction of the Circle Line. It is often mistaken for Farrer Park MRT station; as such, station masters have put up a sign informing both locals and tourists that Farrer Road MRT is not the one located near the famous Mustafa Centre that they likely wanted to visit. Art-in-Transit The artwork featured in this station under the Art-in-Transit programme is Art Lineage by Erzan Adam. In this community project, using lines as a key element to emphasise unity in art and in the community, members of the public were invited to paint coloured lines in any way they liked over three canvasses. The artist then digitised and overlayered the images to create a single piece, which is now displayed on the lift shaft in the station.
