Western Islands, Singapore

Western Islands (Malay: Kepulauan Barat; Simplified Chinese: 西部群岛, Traditional Chinese: 西部群島, Pinyin: Xībù Qúndǎo) is a planning area in Singapore. Located in the West Region, it encompasses the cluster of islands off the coast of Jurong. The area comprises three subzones namely Jurong Island and Bukum, Semakau and Sudong.

The Western Islands comprise Jurong Island, Pulau Bukom and Pulau Sudong. They cover 39.47 square kilometers. Some of the islands, particularly Jurong Island, is the result of the amalgamation of several smaller islands to form one big island through land reclamation. The Western Islands are part of the petrochemical precinct of Singapore and are not open 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.
