Then, more than 50 families from Singapore joined him as it was a good strategic place for farming and fishing on the island. Soon, other industries such as granite quarrying took off. Once a busy village, Ubin accommodated a school, temples and shrines and the famous historical site in the island, near of Chek Jawa, is the 'House No. 1'.
