Moulmein @ Pulau Semakau Landfill

Moulmein residents visited this island on 5 November 2011.

Before the birth of Semakau Landfill, Pulau Sakeng and Pulau Semakau are two Singapore southern islands located next to Pulau Bukom where the refinery of Shell Eastern Petroleum is located since 1970s. The distance between Singapore mainland and the two islands is about 7km from Pasir Panjang Ferry Terminal.

In the late 1980s, when it was clear that the only dumpling ground at Lorong Halus on mainland would not be able to cope with the increasing amount of solid waste, Singapore Government decided to develop a new offshore landfill to meet the disposal needs well into 21st century. The offshore landfill, named Semakau Landfill, was created by enclosing the sea space between Pulau Sakeng and Pulau Semakau. In addition, a transfer station, named Tuas Marine Transfer Station, was to be built to receive and transfer the waste from mainland to Semakau Landfill.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

For Information:

Pulau Sakeng was home to a small Malay Kampong community of about 40 families of fishermen, According to the legends, “Sakeng” is the name of a young lady. To make way for the development of Semakau Landfill, all residents were resettled to mainland in early 1990s.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulau Semakau is an uninhabited island since 1980s. The name “Semakau” originates from the indigenous plant on the island called “Bakau”, which is mangrove in Malay. A prefix “Sri” was added and the name evolved over time to become “Semakau”. In addition to the mangrove, Pulau Semakau is also rich in other flora and fauna and its shorelines are habitats of a wide variety of marine biodiversity.
