Lonely Planet review

Preserved British coastal fort that proved famously useless when the Japanese stormed Singapore from the north in WWII. Documentaries, artefacts, animatronics and recreated historical scenes will absorb history buffs, while their kids tug them towards the exits.

From 1989 until 1993, Siloso housed Sentosa's most unusual 'attraction', political prisoner Chia Thye Poh. Arrested in 1966 for alleged Communist sympathies, Chia served 23 years in jail before being placed under house arrest in Siloso - Sentosa's holiday delights sprang up around him.
