Pulau Ubin is an island separated from the main island. The only way to reach the island (not counting dropping from planes and helicopters etc.) is by ferry. As such, while the country develops, Pulau Ubin remains undeveloped.

Is Palau Ubin considered a physical feature of Singapore?

Pulau Ubin, an island on the north-east of Singapore, is a island which is popular among many Singaporeans who visit the island on weekends to cycle and to relieve themselves of the stress of the fast-pace of modern working life. Pulau Ubin, which was formally named Pulau Batu Jubin, was a granite mining centre for Singapore. Pulau Batu Jubin, which is in Malay, means island of granite stones. The island has 1000 ha area. The island is famous for Chek Jawa. It is a place where there are a lot of species of endangered animals, like starfishes. It is a habitat that a lot of environmentalists in Singapore strive to protect. It might not seem to be a significant physical feature of Singapore to the world, but maybe it is in the hearts of Singaporeans. There are still villlages in Ubin, which is a sight for a country like Singapore. The people living there now currently run simple restaurants, drink stalls and bicycle rental stalls.
