It seems that the National Parks Board has disallowed overnight camping on Sisters' Islands.

I have frequently taken my children there for overnight camping trips over the past years, and we have always enjoyed it.

We do not have untamed wilderness here in Singapore, nor a hinterland where we can do some serious camping.

The small secluded islands allow us a unique chance to have a real camping experience.

Why is camping no longer allowed there? Surely, if there is an important reason for the ban, it would be better to try and solve it instead.
