[edit] name

Doesn't the name "Pulau Blakang Mati" predate WW2? At least this site says so. "Sentosa" is definitely a committee-selected name... Jpatokal 17:16, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

We need some disambiguation here. Keep Sentosa as a geographical name, but write a new article on Santosa, the sanskrit concept of contentment. Please.

[edit] opening date

Is there an official opening date for Sentosa in 1972? --Vsion (talk) 04:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Not sure about that. I think there should be since it was renamed from Pulau Blakang Mati to Sentosa. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 04:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Only know that Sentosa Development Corporation was incorporated on 1 September 1972. --Sengkang 04:57, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
