Singapore's southern islands: a shared heritage with Indonesia | The Islands That Made Us

The villages on Singapore's southern islands once shared close cultural ties with the Riau Archipelago, a group of 3,200 islands in present-day Indonesia. When Singapore became a nation state in 1965, maritime borders were drawn and the southern islands became part of the nation's identity.

ABOUT THE SHOW: Up till the 1970s, Singapore's southern islands had vibrant island communities with unique identities. But today, names like Pulau Tekukor and Pulau Seringat have become largely unfamiliar to Singaporeans. Likewise, while reclamation has increased Singapore's land area by 25% in the last 200 years, some islands like Pulau Seking have been merged with other islands, and their names are now confined to history. But there is still much to be learnt from the 40-plus islands that make up Singapore today, and the people passionate about them.

It is so wonderful to see people coming together to do something they enjoy.

My grandparents had some connections with the riau archipelago such as Pulau Batam and Pulau bintan ( known as tanjung pinang. My father would tell me alot about island in Singapore and in riau😂😂

[@liongkienfai104]

Pulau Bintan and Tanjung Pinang are not synonymous. The latter is a town within the former, and also the capital of the Riau Islands province.

[@xs6702]

Tanjung pinang is tanjung pinas , different with bintan

[@milkybar06]

Very informative.

How hypocritical that Indonesia claims everything but afraid of Singapore.

what what. why would Indonesia claims everything. we just claim what is ours not stealing. besides, why we have to be scared but respect each other, okay gurl. next time you sayin this shit, im gonna hold on to my hoop and gonna come swinging at ya. or talk. -from an Indo.

[@laurence82]

Indonesian hasn't claim anything from Singapore. I think mostly the fight is between Indo and Malusia on culture and food, but don't bring Singapore in
