		Sentosa was once known as Pulau Belakang Mati, which in Malay means the "Island (pulau) of Death (mati) from Behind (belakang)".

		Pulau Tekong is the largest island of Singapore's outlying islands (aside from the main island).
		As with all ghost stories, this last one is highly syncretic and is renegotiated and recast with every single telling, leading to much nostalgia for reservists who habitually try (but fail) to pin down an authoritative version every single time the topic is raised.
		Pulau Tekong was recently the hiding place in early 2004 for three Indonesian armed robbers who fled from Malaysia, unwittingly sparking off a massive, coordinated manhunt involving Air Force helicopters, special forces, ground surveiliance radars, and infantry troops of a Brigade size from 2nd Infantry Brigade.

		Wilkinson realised that the are of Changi facing Pulau Ubin was an ideal site as it was sheltered from the full brunt of the yearly North-East monsoon by the island of Ubin, and from sudden sumatras by Changi Hill, just behind.
		The members painted a large chart on the end of one of the dinghy sheds covering all marks from Serangoon to Pulau Tekong and sometimes prior to a race starting, the sailing committee filled in the course to be raced.
