About
The Pulau Pisang Lighthouse (Malay: Rumah Api Pulau Pisang) is a lighthouse located on the highest point of Pulau Pisang, an island in the Strait of Malacca 15 kilometres from Pontian Kechil, Johor, Malaysia. Built in 1914, the lighthouse was constructed as a white 16 metre (52 feet) high circular cast iron tower with one support structure and a single storey keeper's house at the base. As of 2008, its functions remains as an aid for maritime navigation into the western entrance of the Singapore Strait. Due to its isolated location, the lighthouse is only reachable via boat and an access road.
