In my 60s now, I truly miss my kampong days. Recalling those simple life with us kids playing in the streets - no cars, only bicycles n motorcycles. Hari Raya was celebrated by both Muslims n Hindus, likewise Deepavali too. Everyone was invited for every functions. Everyone knew everyone, doors opened in the morning will only be closed at night. Most of us were not rich, but were good neighbours helping each other. Gone are those golden days, still living in the past with tears in my heart.
Masih ada yang tinggal di Pulau Ubin ye?...makcik saya berasal dari sini, tetapi dipindahkan ke Tampines. Suasana di sana yang tenang dan damai, sama macam kampung di Malaysia. Hi..I am Azrin from Desaru, Johor 😊
so nice chatting with these old folks... they're old but knows a lot about nature... the aunties and uncles on mainland singapore only quarrel over MRT seats...
The only place in Singapore which is dear to us.. The place we can find peace and tranquility.. Hope the government let it stay as it is.. A place for our next generation to know that the Singapore they know now started like this..
Such a lovely island with its charm and authenticity! I can still remember the simple but yet happy kampung life I grew up from in the mainland Singapore from mid 1960s to early 1970s. Pulau Ubin is now what we have left with to remind us all of the kampung days. Please preserve Ubin as it is and not turning it into another Sentosa island! I do hope the Singapore Government is generously funding the restoration of these termite-infected kampung houses so that our fellow Singaporean Ubin islanders can live comfortably in them. 🙏
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video of P. Ubin. I know many of the residents featured in this video and I hope they are in good health. There used to be an abandoned landrover somewhere around the vicinity of the house where the cemetery was filmed and wonder, whether it is still there ?
Ooh dear went to Ubin Is in 2006 and cycling around the island was a great fun. Wild pigs along the quiet small street, passed jerat Cina, went to see the lombong, kayaking along the island with big cargo ships passed by, saw wood-plank traditional house WoW! And during night time hang-out at the pier and saw Johore port infront... night sky filled with airplanes passed by... i will never forget my experience at Ubin Is... ❤️Ubin❤️
On of a few places left to escape the city and enjoy the nature. Whenever I’m sick of the city I come there for trail running. Drink stalls really help - even if you have water, cold drink saves the day.
That was great! I was fortunate to spend most of 1991-1992 on Pulau Ubin. Cycling, sailing, canoeing, hiking, riding motorbikes and driving powerboats every day. I have not since returned, so this is a welcome insight. Hope it hasn't changed too much, and hope it doesn't change too much in the future.
~Beautiful! Thank you for this video :') I think we all need to learn to cherish what we have in life. I went there twice recently...many residents featured in this video have moved out (I think). The temple and the coconut stall has closed down. With such a competitive economy, it's very difficult for Ubin to last :'( I do hope the government will continue to make plans to preserve Pulau Ubin, and more than that, to help the younger generation learn and appreciate it.
I went to Ubin just before covid happen...love the sight and pple there are warm and friendly.....but they claimed there not many left abt 30....soon there will be no life there...which made me very sad ..there should effort to preserve...or at least to make the Pulau Ubin as resort island for vacation purposes
Yesterday, I went camping in Ubin. It was a truly humbling experience. However, I was saddened to see the level of trash around Jelutong Campsite. I wish we could experience moments like these more often. Enjoying nature's bounty. Living simply. Rather than being self-absorbed in your screen like most SIMPs. Thanks for sharing.
I want to live in kampung where I got plenty of land to do gardening but I also want a home with gadget and WiFi connection and I prefer privacy away from crowds as I am an introvert.
Move to Sentosa Cove and turn your multi-million dollar house into a kampung style lodge. They have shops, ATM machines, gadget and Wifi connection there.
Malaysia is more developed.I have been twice to Pulau Ketam a bicycle only island.There are no cars there.There is a Maybank Branch,a police station,a school,lots of houses and lots of hotels.The bicycles have baskets.I took my study group once.This island is near Klang.
Nice quiet unspoiled island to spend on vacation, probably the only natural spot available in Singapore untouched by greedy skyscraper developers and corporate moguls. Seem like its natural beauty is not going to last long when Singapore is run out of land for government project development plans, then it will be a pity.
Notta sure it is wheelchair friendly. Looking it is simply kumpong, where the originals of difference races have started, left and remaining... Minus away trucks, mountain bikes, resurrecting, attracting difference race will definitely bringing former livelihoods back on to this island.
Palau Ubin is small island belongs to Singapore. Most the people staying in the island are mostly Chinese. There’s hardly any jobs for outsiders to grab because even the locals have to look jobs in Singapore. Nevertheless, most elderly people who didn’t who couldn’t find jobs outside Palau Ubin are doing farming. Palau Ubin has no entertainment nor restaurant. No hospital nor Clinic in the island. But there quite a lot is boats plying there as taxis to serve the people in the island.
The water at the sea is so clean better for others to go there and swim and better goverment get a toilet after their all go swimming so many people coming there
Government can make it better, not to worry, it will be like fairyland soon, with resort boat across and road connection to it, not MRT, we wish to preserve what it is now, only change for people to move to and fro
That's how we destroy our biodiversity. why catch or remove crabs that's have not reached maturity. What is even more amazing is that when told small size crabs has little meat and should be release back to grow, incorrigible folk can reply that if they dont someone else will do the same. How to reason with people to protect the wild life?
too much intervention and amalgamation....it should have been left as it was ...bringing in sand from god knows where brought sand flies to the seasides there ..building fences and roads and other structures makes the place just another tourist jaunt ....leave the damn place alone please
Show ubin culture not malay culture. U can do it by trying to ask government to build some small structures around. What u trying to implement by showing malay culture in ubin.

What a wonderful clip about pulau ubin...please preserve this place as it is. It is history incarnate.

I pray Pulau Ubin to remain as it is,.... for the sake of Singapore's future generation.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful clip. We must keep the spirit alive !!
Awesome insights of the past & present of P. Ubin. Keep it up with your wonderful effort..

Very Interesting! Thanks
missed the years visiting and living there in the 80s, the elders are no longer around....gone also the old houses....
I wonder how many would rather like to live there now. After such a great video.

Fantastic stuff! Very insightful and enjoyable documentary.
Sg must preserve the people ,island and houses there for our future generations
Nice sharing and vlogging
i was here a few days ago and i loved it, walked 13 kilometers and it had a lot of plants and leaves
Very well put together video. Good job
A beautiful place to live
We should continue to preserve the ecosystem here.
This video is such a treat! Love it! :D

Nice production, hope there are more such heritage production.
Malaysia is more developed.I have been twice to Pulau Ketam a bicycle only island.There are no cars there.There is a Maybank Branch,a police station,a school,lots of houses and lots of hotels.The bicycles have baskets.I took my study group once.This island is near Klang.

Lovely island.
Let it be like before. Dun change anything. It will be wonderful.
In 1919, Sultan Sir Ibrahim used those granite stones dugged from those quarries in Pulau Ubin to build the present Causeway today.
Nice place👍
Hope the Government preserve pulau ubin please.
how can i sleepover at ubin now? was there 30plus years ago
Just curious if there is an medical emergency how are they suppose to get medical attention fast?
which country are you all from
Nice quiet unspoiled island to spend on vacation, probably the only natural spot available in Singapore untouched by greedy skyscraper developers and corporate moguls.

Kalau dlm Bahasa melayu,dah banyak mulut puaka

希望政府能把島上蝦池的路從修能到迏島上所有地方，岛上的蝦池也可以從新发展，我小時是住在一片有经 榴莲红毛丹棷子和其果树，現在蝦池和那片土地以变成森林，人也無法到那里，还靠馬耒西亚有一海边过去很多洋人等到那里 划水等运动，野餐 露营等，現在路也長树草变森林通不了，希望政府能好好利用，或可发展一些農业养蝦，养鸡鸭等或可供新加坡人民一些必须生活食物。
