Palawan ."Pulau Palawan, also known as Palawan Island (zh-cp|c=巴拉湾岛|p=Bālāwān Dǎo), is an
islet located just off the southwestern coast ofSentosa , south ofSingapore . It is linked to Sentosa via a suspension bridge. It is said to be the "southern-most island of Sentosa", and hence the southern-most point ofcontinent alAsia . [cite web|url=http://www.answers.com/topic/sentosa|title=Sentosa|accessdate=2006-11-28|year=2006|work=Sentosa|publisher=Answers.com ] However, this is disputed by some who argue that being an island linked to Sentosa by only a bridge, Palawan is not part of continental Asia. It is also apparent thatTanjong Beach , another beach on Sentosa is more southernly than Palawan.Palawan Island also has two lookout points where visitors can see the Southern islands as well as Sentosa.
