Pulau Ubin...

"Pulau Ubin is a small island (10.19 kmĀ²) situated in the north east of Singapore, to the west of Pulau Tekong.It is one of the last rural areas to be found in Singapore.
(...)
Pulau Ubin is one of the last areas in Singapore that has been preserved from urban development, concrete buildings and tarmac roads.
Pulau Ubin's wooden house villages and wooden jetties, relaxed inhabitants, rich and preserved wildlife, abandoned quarries and plantations, and untouched nature in general make it the last witness of the old "kampong" Singapore that existed before modern industrial times and large scale urban development."
