Ubin is an island located northeast of the Singapore mainland, close to the border between the island republic and the Malaysian state of Johor. Famous for its rustic roads, immaculate beaches and shady nature trails, it is the only place where one could go to relive the Singapore of the 60s, immersed in the simple joys of life, away from the hustle and bustle of a modern-day city lifestyle.However, Ubin has assumed a different character to its name.
