►History of Saint John’s Island:-
Saint John’s Island was once where new migrants to Singapore, as well as returning pilgrims , were quarantined if their ships arrived with cases of infectious illnesses such as cholera, smallpox and plague.
Later, parts of the island were also used to detain political prisoners and as a drug rehabilitation centre but all that has changed now into something totally different!
At present, St John’s island is a popular getaway spot for locals and tourists alike and If you’re looking for pristine beaches with clear turquoise waters, look no further than St. John’s Island.
