Pulau Semakau & Pulau Sakeng  -   islands untouched by the development and modernisation of mainland Singapore, stayed pure and true to its roots. These islanders called themselves the Orang Laut (Sea People) and Orang Selat (People of the Straits). They were communities that grew among nature and lived dependant on what the island provided them. This meant that natural forces such as water, wind, and sun crafted their daily capabilities, thereby accepting the fates bestowed onto them. An islander recounts the virtue to have a  “peace of mind”, by accepting whatever came their way, with no worries no cares - A much simpler time and life than in mainland Singapore.
