"This island—10 minutes away from Singapore by boat—offers one of the closest experiences you can get to seeing the wild side of the country. It’s got a handful of human residents and traces of its granite-quarrying history from the ’70s remain, but the island remains largely untouched and is home to the Chek Jawa wetlands, a heron habitat, wild boars, monkeys, and more." - Audrey Phoon
