Bukom Island

About

Pulau Bukom, also known as Pulau Bukum (Chinese: 毛广岛; Tamil: புளு புகோம்), is a small restricted-access island belonging to Singapore that is located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the south of Mainland Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore. The size of Pulau Bukom is about 145 hectares (360 acres).

Pulau Bukom is also known as Pulau Bukom Besar, which has a small companion islet to its south called Pulau Bukom Kechil. This companion islet is currently connected to Pulau Ular and Pulau Busing by reclaimed land, making the three of them appear as one large island on satellite imagery.
