Barn Island (Pulau Senang), Singapore

Barn Island, Singapore

Barn Island (GPS: 1.17039, 103.73454) is the other name for Pulau Senang, a 81.7-hectare coral island located near the southernmost part of Singapore's international boundary. It was the site of a failed penal settlement that was established in 1960, but closed down after just three years following the rioting by detainees there.

Today Barn Island, along with Pulau Sudong and Pulau Pawai, both to its north, is used by the Singapore Armed Forces for live-firing, and is therefore off limits to casual visitors.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
