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。
