Sentosa To Vivocity Temporary Walking Route Guide

 SINGAPORE - The Sentosa Express and buses going in and out of Sentosa Island gets very crowded during peak hours, leading to some considering exiting Sentosa by foot. However, did you know that Sentosa Boardwalk is partially closed due to redevelopment works?

A portion of Sentosa Boardwalk is currently closed due to redevelopment works as seen in this picture taken on 29 August 2025.

Our team visited the area on 29 August 2025 and has came up with a guide on how to exit Sentosa on foot during this period.

Finding the starting point

To begin your journey, find the starting point. Our journey starts at the Universal Studios Singapore globe, which is located opposite the entrance for Singapore Oceanarium.

Entering the walking route

To start your journey, find the escalator leading downwards located near the globe.

In this photo, we are facing Singapore Oceanarium. Behind us is the entrance to Universal Studios Singapore. On the right of this photo is a shelter that houses escalators going down to the basement.

Use the escalator to go down to the basement of Resorts World Sentosa.

South Korean Police Say No To PSY's Gangnam Style Of Prescription Collection

While it may sound convenient to have people collect medications on one's behalf, it is against the law in South Korea. Under the Medical Service Act in South Korea, prescriptions can only be prescribed after direct consultation with the patient, with the law barring any collection by other parties on behalf of the patient.

According to Seoul Seodaemun Police Station on August 28, K-pop star PSY and a university hospital doctor are being probed for charges of violating the Medical Service Act.

As part of the case, the university hospital was raided by investigators to secure medical records after a tip off was received and a probe was launched.

It resulted in the discovery that 47-year-old K-pop star allegedly received prescriptions for Xanax and Stilnox from 2022 until recently without going through in-person consultations with doctors. PSY's manager and other parties are alleged to have collected medication on PSY's behalf. Xanax and Stilnox are medications which are taken to treat sleep disorders, anxiety and depression.

The police also announced possible plans to summon PSY for further questioning once his medical records received further analysis.

Doctor denies wrongdoing

Xanax and Stilnox are classified as psychotropic drugs with high risks of dependency and addiction, making in-person consultations a need. It is reported that the doctor involved denies they did anything wrong, adding that they prescribed the drugs after remote consultations were done with the K-pop star.

Agency apologizes

On August 28, P Nation, which manages PSY, released an official statement concerning the probe and apologized.

In the agency's statement, the agency admitted and apologized for the 'clear error' and negligence that PSY's prescription which was cited to be sleeping pills had been received by a third party and a police investigation against the collection of the prescription did happen.

They also stated that the K-pop star was diagnosed with chronic insomnia and was then prescribed sleeping pills by his doctor.

It was also highlighted that there were no 'proxy prescriptions' and only instances where third parties collected medication on PSY's behalf, followed by a second apology from the agency causing concern.
