Tuas is a place on the western part of Singapore. It is regarded as a planning area within the West Region of Singapore. Once a fishing village, Tuas has metamorphosed into a public housing and industrial area since the 1970s. The area is further divided into 6 subzones namely Tengeh, Tuas Bay, Tuas North, Tuas Promenade, Tuas View and Tuas View Extension.
Tuas is located in Singapore Postal District 22.
Located next to the Jurong Industrial Estate, Tuas is the located for the placement of heavy industries, as it is a distance from downtown Singapore. Since the late 1980s, the coastal areas south of Tuas proper has been extensively reclaimed, to house what is planned to be the largest oil storage facility in the world. The area is known as Tuas Peninsula and Tuas South.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
