ACKNOWLEDGMENT
As a part of foreign study tour we were nominated for Sri Lanka and
Singapore. After having completed the tour of Sri Lanka we flew to
Singapore. After landing at the beautiful air port of Singapore and
completing the immigration and custom formalities we travelled
towards our booked hotel. Singapore was looking a neat, clean and
modern city.
We checked in the New Park Hotel in the downtown, which was very
good hotel and I found it very comfortable to stay in.
Once again, I reiterate to acknowledge the role of Mr. Dawar Husain,
our Chief Instructor, National Institute of Public Administration and
Government of Pakistan.

SENTOSA ISLAND
Sentosa Island, or Sentosa, is an island located off the Southern Coast of

Singapor’s Main Island. The island is separated from the main island of
Singapore by a channel of water, the Harbour and a smaller island between
Sentosa and the main island. Sentosa is a resort and tourist destination. In
December 1993 when I visited the island with my friend the attractions included a
long beach, a Cable Car, Musical Fountain, Under Water World, Mono Rail etc. I
visited the island with my friend and enjoyed almost all the attractions. A few
photographs taken at that time are placed in this travelogue as memoir.

SENTOSA MONORAIL
The Sentosa Monorail was the main means of transportation on the
island of Sentosa we moved from one attraction to another in this
monorail when required

who also danced with the rhythm
