MoneyFM 89.3’s Future Earth Segment with Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and Thien Kwee Eng, CEO of Sentosa Development Corporationlook at the just-unveiled Greater Sentosa Master Plan.

One of most ambitious transformations in island history, it's a bold, island‑wide reinvention that will redefine how Singaporeans and tourists play, relax, and connect for decades to come.

Greater Sentosa integrates Sentosa and Brani into an expanded island playground and sanctuary.  It will include the new Imbiah Canopy, Imbiah Lookout Walk, and Sensorium, alongside nature‑based attractions, heritage trails, and next‑generation experiences.

In the interview we discuss key elements: 

• Reimagined beaches built for climate resilience

• Sustainability innovations that make the island cooler and keep the green spaces

• A new islet‑hopping experience across Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong 

• SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ and the Waterfront Lifestyle Development

• A new People Mover System and transport hub 

 Kwee Eng explains how Sentosa will balance a doubling of tourism in coming years with deep local meaning.
