List of islands of Singapore
This is a list of islands of Singapore. Massive land reclamation work over the past centuries has removed many of Singapore's natural islands and islets and has created a few new ones. At present, Singapore has about 63 islands,[1] with only 3 being inhabited and 7 of them (including those in Western Water Catchment as they are in the SAFTI live firing area) belonging to the Singapore Armed Forces.
