'Where we live': Portraits of Pulau Ubin
“Where we live”: Portraits of Pulau Ubin
SINGAPORE — Following the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and Housing and Development Board’s (HDB) apology yesterday regarding the confusion over a notice served to 22 households on Pulau Ubin last month that was misconstrued as an eviction notice, TODAY photographer Alex Westcott visited the island kampong to compile a series of environmental portraits of eight residents in their homes.
All of the residents featured have lived on Pulau Ubin since they were children; some are second generation residents of the island, having inherited their houses from their parents.
Favouring a peaceful, remote existence, the majority of the residents are elderly with their children living on mainland Singapore.
