It
is the first and last time I ever visited Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)
with a friend Karina, back in 1999.
The
most memorable subject that I remember was the sight of the “floating
houses” - miniature, traditional and colorful.
One
can easily peep into the house and observed the livelihood of the
fishing residents, here.

| PULAU KETAM |
The
“floating houses” perched on wooden stilts 1 to 10 m above sea
level. The main thoroughfares are the narrow concreted pavements,
while in the residential areas, the older rickety wooden plank
bridges can still be seen. There are no cars on the island, except
bicycles and motorbikes as main means of transportation within the
villages.
Other
than the floating houses, visitors can take a walk around the island
and enjoy the breeze slapping onto your face. One can also notice
small shops selling packed seafood items, dried cuttle fish and
souvenirs.
Pulau
Ketam (Crab Island) is an island located off the coast of Port
Kelang, Selangor, Malaysia.
The
island is the intertidal zone and the chief vegetation is mangrove.
The
main economic activity on the island is fishing and also a tourist
destination.
Pulau
Ketam is featured as the filming location for the movie entitled
“Paint My Love” (2015)
