Coffee-table book on Pulau Ubin by chua ee kiam
Pulau Ubin - Ours to Treasure
Only 10 minutes by boat from Singapore, Pulau Ubin is an island that offers visitors a glimpse into the remnants of the last remaining wildlife in an increasingly urbanised and over-planned society. This volume is a labour of love undertaken by Chua Ee Kiam, a dentist by profession but a passionate photographer and nature-lover.
Many of his weekends over five years were spent covering this island, where hornbills, sea eagles and flying lizards can still be easily spotted on a good bird-watching day.
There are 220 quality illustrations that capture the wildlife and
village life that is fast disappearing. Dr Chua discusses, in a well-tempered manner, the future of the island, and cogently argues why Pulau Ubin should remain largely undisturbed. This beautiful volume also contains checklists of plants, mammals and birds.
