Pulau Ubin's Constant Vulnerability to Redevelopment

Image
Updated: Jan 17th, 2020 06:52 PM Hi all; and considering that this is the first post of 2020 on WUJ, a very Happy New Year to you! I came across this Facebook article by Ria Tan from WildSingapore which reminded me of the constant vulnerability that Pulau Ubin faces when it comes to redevelopment in an ever rapidly-modernising Singapore. Photo courtesy of Ria Tan As highlighted in her post, among the more notable features conceptualised in Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) Master Plan 2030 include a road link from Punggol which cuts across Ubin and into Pulau Tekong, before circling back into the mainland at Changi East as well as the reclamation along the eastern shores of Ubin, which would potentially bury Pulau Sekudu and the entire Chek Jawa Wetland Reserve. Her other concerns raised include the reclamation along Pasir Ris and Changi shores. However, the proposal for a "Pan-Ubin" road link and reclamation along the eastern shorelines of Ubin

Putting the Saga in Saga Seeds

Image
Hi All! According to Dictionary.com , a saga is something used to define a "narrative or legend of heroic exploits". So we can already guess that saga pretty much has a very deep and powerful meaning in it - so what is up with saga seeds? Photo courtesy of NParks Known to the scientific community as  Adenanthera pavonina,  their bright red and shiny seeds sure are an eye catcher for those who walk by them; but are they powerful enough to be associated with "saga"? Why, yes of course! There's a story behind why these saga seeds are notorious in Singapore's pastime, especially for our younger children at the time. Collecting these seeds were almost as cool as collecting marbles, stamps and postcards. Some would place them in special glass jars or bottles to use as a beautiful ornament or decoration in their home while others might even give it to their crush or love partners to express their love and affection for them. Speaking of which in Chinese,

The Legend of Pulau Ubin - The Elephant, The Pig and The Frog

Image
UPDATE (15/02/2023): This post is outdated and the information presented here is not in accordance to the actual narratives told by the original inhabitant Ubin Orang Pulau community. Please find the revised and true account of the legend here . Hi all, Today I would like to share how the island of Pulau Ubin came to be. If you were someone with quite a knowledge in geology, you would know that islands are formed in various ways; such as through volcanic eruptions, continental plates movement, land erosion or even man-made reclamation. While it is possible for Pulau Ubin to have been formed by at least one or more of the above-mentioned ways, what if I told you that Pulau Ubin was formed because of a legend? Singapore's offshore islands are filled with legends and folklore. Some of you might be more familiar with the legend of Kusu Island - where a Chinese and Malay fisherman, whose sampans capsized in the midst of stormy seas, were rescued by a large golden tortoise w
