Batam – an island in Indonesia, which is around 20km from Singapore. A ferry ride would take around 1 hour from Singapore to the island. Batam has a population of around 1 million and is actually one of fastest growing tourist destinations in Indonesia in terms of visitor arrivals.

There are many tourist especially Singaporean who likes to take a short break in that island. There was no exception to the residents in Bukit Batok East Zone 3. The Residents’ Committee (RC) had organized a 2 days 1 night trip to that island on 20-21 Nov 10.

The itinerary include island hopping, visit to the ‘kueh lapis’ factory, temple visits and many others. Golden View Hotel also one of the better Hotels in Batam, what else could you asks for when all meals were included including supper.

For those who have missed that, not to worry, I am sure the Bukit Batok East Zone 3 RC would organize more if there is a demand. You could click on the photos to see the wonderful time these residents had.

巴淡岛 - 在印尼，离新加坡约20公里的岛屿。由新加坡本岛乘渡轮要大约1小时。巴淡岛拥有大约100万人口，实际上是印尼增长最快的旅游目的地之一。

Kusu Island Trip (龟屿岛一日游)

Kusu Island - One of the southern Islands in Singapore. Many devotees would travel to the island on the 7th to the 9th month of the lunar calendar. There was a legend told about the island.

The legend has it that a giant sea turtle sacrificed itself; transformed itself into an island to rescue a Malay and a Chinese sailor. In order to show gratitude, the Malay and Chinese sailors built a Malay island shrine, a Chinese Taoist temple and a statue of a giant turtle.

Every year during this period, Bukit Batok East Zone 3 RC would organise a trip to the island. Devotees and non-devotees enjoyed a relaxing and fun-filled day.

龟屿岛 - 在新加坡南部岛屿之一。每到农历7月到9月都会有许多信徒们前往岛上。世间也流传了有关这一个岛屿的传说。

传说一只巨大海龟为舍身救助遇难的一位马来水手和一位中国水手，把自己变成了一个岛屿，为了感恩,这两名马来及华族水手便在岛上建了一座马来圣祠、一座中国道观和一个巨型海龟雕像。

每年这个时期，武吉巴督东3区居委会会举办到岛上旅游。信徒或非信徒也一起享有一个轻松和充满乐趣的一天。
