Pulau Palawan is a small isle off the western coast of Sentosa Island. The name is said to be a derivation of the Malay word pahlawan, meaning warrior. The island was originally just a reef known as Serembu Palawan. Land reclamation turned it into a proper island. It covers 0.4 hectares, about the same size as Pulau Biola.
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.
