Sentosa Cove is all show, no substance.
1. the boat you see parked behind the house - has to wait for the sluicr gates to open, then can go out of the calm longkang
once out of the cove, the waters IS extremely choppy with VERRRY Strong undercurrents,..and it really takes the skills of a sesoned, skilled boatman to navigate thru this churning water,.. I have seen even experienced tongkang boatmen, losing control of the boat to the elements, and crashing onto the embankments,..
2. The yacht - belonging to Nippon Paint Boss - got hit by some hazards - and therefore Owner said, No more Sentosa Cove berthing.
3. a member of The Lee Family - bought 2 bungalows at the beginning,...already cashed out with at least S$ 3 million profits during the early days,...
4. Visitors to Sentosa has to pay entry fees,..pay for parking,..walk a distance,....roads outside bungalows - too narrow,..cannot park
5. Bungalows built too close to one another,...house owners can egage in tek-kou fencing
6. the ground, especially along the roads in the inner island IS sinking. Note the road level below the man-hole covers.
7. When the tide is low, one can smell the heavy oil and pollution from the containerships at the terminals
8. sometimes at night (when it's moonless) some hungry Indonesians "orang Laut" would use the MBS lights as a navigation becon,..to sneak into Sentosa cove and try to steal stuff ( or park contraband cigarettes), ..smuggle humans,etc,.....
9. Driving towards the place - speed limit, traps to summon speedsters,...not possible to "rush home" or "rush to work",..
10.Constant pressure from the other neighbours to upgrade status symbols,...a newer car, boat, mistreess,...etc.,..it fucking fake
11. One Deg 15 marina - service like in a Pinoy Marina,...staff only sucks up to white skinned devils,..
12. <please add.,..>
Conclusion: The Truly Rich Does not want to be in Sentosa Cove,..this is a place full of "credit-linked-wealth", instant-made,..and only god knows how long such can be sustained.
