Also, as more and more people start to inhabit the island of Singapore, the waters around it become more and more polluted, killing the reef life. More supporting evidence is that people reclaim land because they need more space fro the inhabitants. Because of that, more people are living on the island- that means more people are polluting the water and eliminating reefs.

No matter what angle you look at it, you'll always be able see the parts of land sticking out. However, compared to the map from the 1950s , we have lost land.

Singapore added land in between the islands so it looks like the islands are gone.
