Today, that responsibility falls to the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. The access of Singaporean workers to the lighthouse has been a subject of contention in recent years.

[updated: 00:32 / 27 May 2008] If we fail to take drastic actions, then we will lost this island to our neighbours soon or later. The authority must take over the administration of this Light House otherwise we are opening the room for claims to our neighbours.
