Be transported back in time to 1960s Singapore as I take you embarking on a trip to Pulau Ubin. Shaped like a boomerang, this 1,020-hectare island is home to Singapore’s last village or kampongs, as well as the Chek Jawa Wetlands, one of Singapore’s richest ecosystems. On this walk, I am discovering important historical landmarks, wildlife habitats and restored buildings that have defined life on the island. Ubin, also simply known as Ubin, is an island situated in the north east of Singapore, to the west of Pulau Tekong. The granite quarry used to be supported by a few thousand settlers on Pulau Ubin in the 1960s, but only about 38 villagers remained as of 2012. It is one of the last rural areas to be found in Singapore, with an abundance of natural flora and fauna. The name Pulau Ubin literally means "Granite Island" in Malay, which explains the many abandoned granite quarries there. Pulau means "island", and Ubin is said to be a Javanese term for "squared stone". To the Malays, the island is also known as Pulau Batu Ubin, or "Granite Stone Island". The rocks on the island were used to make floor tiles in the past and were called Jubin, which was then shortened to Ubin. The island is known as tsioh sua in the Taiwanese Romanization of Hokkien, which means "stone hill". The highest point is Bukit Puaka (Puaka Hill) at a height of 75 m. Legend has it that Pulau Ubin was formed when three animals from Singapore (a frog, a pig and an elephant) challenged each other to a race to reach the shores of Johor. The animals that failed would turn to stone. All three came across many difficulties and were unable to reach the shores of Johor. Therefore, the elephant and pig together turned into Pulau Ubin whilst the frog became Pulau Sekudu or Frog Island. Appreciate how the landscape of Pulau Ubin has transformed into the idyllic island getaway that it is today. As of 2012, there are only 38 people living on the island. 0:00 About Pulau Ubin 1:39 Changi Point Ferry Terminal 2:53 Yak Hong 3:48 Chinese Theatre 4:19 Pulau Ubin Tua Pek Kong 5:08 Kayaking 5:37 Melah Cafe 8:14 The granites of Ubin 8:51 Hiking 9:26 Do's and Don'ts 10:15 Flora and Fauna of Ubin 10:52 5 dollar Coconut 11:32 Abandoned House of Japanese exchange student 11:49 Outro [orTsdd9Mkts] |
