While it is common knowledge that Jurong Island (off the southwestern coast of Singapore) is a manmade island that forms the heart of Singapore’s chemical and energy industry, and serves as the operational headquarters for leading petroleum and petrochemical companies, not many of us know about the canine population there.
Yes, there are dogs living on Jurong Island! In fact, the island is currently home to about 150 of them.
Interestingly, 80 per cent of the dogs on the island are black, and because of superstitious beliefs, many consider such dogs as evil and aggressive - which couldn t be further from the truth (see adoption profiles below).

The Sandcrawler is part of a tech cluster in One North
One of the world’s biggest private equity firms is pushing its real estate bets into the fantasy world, as recently filed documents show that Blackstone is in the process of buying a Singapore building based on George Lucas’ Star Wars movies.
The Manhattan based firm is offering to pay S$175.8 million ($133 million) to purchase 1 Fusionopolis Link, better known as the Sandcrawler Building, from a unit of Lucasfilm, according to sources familiar with the deal, which was first reported by Bloomberg.
The eight-storey office block is located close to the University of Singapore in the One North tech park, and is designed to look like the Sandcrawler, a tank-treaded fortress where Luke Skywalker purchased R2D2 in the original Star Wars film.
