1. Introduction to Pulau Ubin
Pulau Ubin derives its literal translation from the Malay language for Granite Island. Harvesting of granites through explosion was an active activity of the past, thus deriving to its meaning. Abandoned quarries have then been converted to large water bodies due to the collection of rainfall. The island is located north-eastern coast off Singapore and expands to 10 square meters in area. Natives living on the island have then been resettled onto mainland Singapore, only an approximate number of 50 individuals still resides on the island.
Pulau Ubin offers a myriad species of flora and fauna, which are both rare and exquisite. Animals such as the hornbill, wild boar and Red Junglefowl, which are the island’s iconic animals, add to the biodiversity system of the island. 7 habitats of Chek Jawa Wetlands lives interdependently. A proposed long term plan of developing HDB units to meet with the growing demand of housing has been in talks recently and the government of Singapore is still weighing on the decision.
