I worked on an Exxon project on Jurong Island in Singapore. Today, Jurong Island looks like one singular island but it used to be a series of islands that were reclaimed. It was amusing seeing an old ship cleat in middle of the plant, hundreds of meters from any nearby water. The landmass of Singapore itself has grown by 40% since the 60's through reclamation. There's always been lots of rumors about how the sand was sourced from neighboring countries.
