Pulau Bukom

What started my interest in Pulau Bukom was this journal paper:

Phoon, W. O. and E. R. Alfred (1965). "A Study of Stonefish (Synanceja) Stings in Singapore with a review of the venomous fishes of Malaysia." Singapore Medical Journal 6(3): 158-163.

I got referred to it from:

Sharma, R. E. (1973). Noxious and Toxic Animals. Animal life and nature in Singapore. S. H. Chuang. [Singapore], : Singapore University Press: 229-250.

So the paper talked about 81 cases of stonefish stings at Pulau Bukom Hospital.

Pulau Bukom had a hospital! :) What I knew about Pulau Bukom was that it a petroleum installation owned by Shell Oil Company. There the people who work there, live there. There are homes, places from recreation, to do your groceries etc. It was self-sustained. But since went? Is there still a hospital there?

Pulau Bukom was the first islet to be leased by the colonial government. The oil fuel reserves were own by the Asiatic Petroleum company. Apparently, before the fall to the Japanese, the British tried to destroy these resources, afraid what would have become of them if they fell into the Japanese hands. Though the British were also hesitant as that would lower the morale of the people. They went ahead and prisoners of war had to rebuild the oil facility and other buildings.

So that's what I gathered in a few google searches. Hmmm... There was this ghost story about a man being sent to Pulau Bukom Hospital...

But... What I am concerned with is, what was P. Bukom like, before it was a petroleum refinery?

The hospital probably would still be useful now, as P. Bukom is still heavily populated. But why is it that a google search does not churn out any results about the present hospital? Should I try RedNano?
