The new Punggol Coast MRT station is open! Tied to the Punggol Digital District and near the SIT University's new campus, the architecture is a sight to behold. Let's meet at the Punggol Coast MRT and walk through the SIT University's new campus together. Then we head towards Coney Island! Formerly known as Pulau Serangoon ([English](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language): Serangoon Island), Coney island was once owned by entrepreneur siblings [Aw Boon Haw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aw_Boon_Haw) and [Aw Boon Par](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aw_Boon_Par), before being sold to an Indian businessman, Ghulam Mahmood, in 1950 with the intention of turning the island into a resort modelled after the amusement area at [Coney Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island), New York.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island,_Singapore#cite_note-5) Unfortunately, things didn't work out.
