Pulau Tekukor (Turtle Dove Island) is one of the Southern Islands of Singapore formerly serving as an island warehouse for explosives[1] and ammunition. The island was also known as Pulau Penyabung (formerly Pulau Penyabong) - island for deadly duels[2] - with legends of it being a pirate-infested area.
There have been former proposals to turn the island into a residential area, resort or eco-park (Monkey Island).
