You can see what they are trying to make on Sentosa. They want to make some sort of Singaporean mini-Disney land with the Merlion, Singapore's emblem as their Mickey Mouse.
Of course, Sentosa is hard pushed to live up to that. The cable car ride there across the busy shipping ports, an entrepot to Asia, is good fun - if not for those of you who have vertigo! But the island is a good idea badly carried out. The water park has some great rides, but safety is neglected and the pools aren't particularly clean. In addition most of the rides seem to be shut.
Transport, by free monorail on the island, is good. So are some of the museum-like attractions. The central plazas are pretty but deserted and so perhaps the best part of the island are the cool, perfect beaches to its south.
Overall, the island is worth a day-trip to, to contrast Singapore - but probably only if you want to do one thing on the island in particular that you can base your day around.
