Travel : Mabul Island of Semporna, Sabah



Mabul is an island off the south-eastern coast of Sabah in Malaysia. It first became popular due to its proximity to Sipadan island.

Few years back, it has gained its recognition as one of the best "muck diving" sites in the world. Mabul Island is a small oval shaped island surrounded by sandy beaches and perched on the northwest corner of a larger two square kilometer reef.

It is more correctly recognised now that the reason for the quality of the MUCK Diving is simply a result of overfishing uses of cyanide and dynamite by the local people of this area.

The reef is on the edge of the continental shelf and the seabed surrounding the reef slopes out to 25 to 30 m deep. There are several dive resorts operating on Mabul island.

Park : Tiong Bahru Park, Singapore ( Part 1/3 )

Tiong Bahru Park was first developed around 1967 to serve the residents in Henderson, Bukit Merah and Lower Delta Road.


In 1977, the park incorporated a nursery site. The park was later redeveloped in 2000 to reflect a theme of 'Old Frame, New Images'.


The upgraded park features many new facilities to meet the recreational needs of different groups of park users and provides a livelier ambience to the park. An example is the tilting train in the adventure playground that is loved by children. More trees and palms were planted to provide better shade, more greenery and a cool environment for visitors
