Port Klang Jetty<br />
Pulau Ketam, literally translated, means “crab island”, the reason of putting this name<br />

jams, finding car parking problem and so on.<br />
The other village on the northeastern side called Sungai Lima (Fifth River), this is the<br />
island that nearby Pulau Ketam, this island is smaller than Pulau Ketam. Sungai it<br />
mean river, why called Sungai Lima is because actuall Pulau Ketam actually have five<br />
river, Pulau Ketam located in the first river, second river is for aborigines, and river<br />
three and four have no people life at there, so Sugai Lima is located at the fifth river<br />
in Pulau Ketam, this is the reason of the name come from. In Sungai Lima it almost<br />

Hot Stops<br />
1. Mother & Son fishing-boat<br />
The fishermen that live in Sugai Lima they have a special fishing-boat call<br />
Mother and Son fishing boat, the reason of they put this name is because the<br />
big fishing-boat is do not have engine so it cannot move by itself, so the<br />
smaller fishing-bout will carry the big fishing-bout to fishing, the reason that<br />
they did I this way is because they out out fishing is not just go for few hours,<br />
some time they need to stay on the sea few day, so they bring the big fishingboat<br />
to there for them to sleep, washing, or eating.<br />
2. Wall Painting
Wall painting is ne of the big point that attarct people to come to the place, in<br />

family or partner get a beautiful picture at there.<br />
3. One-Armed Crab<br />
One-armed crab is a specific crab that you just can see it at Pula Ketam or<br />
Sugai Lima, the reason that they called this name is because this crab their one<br />

them one-armen crab.<br />

In Sungai Lima you can feel their life style is really tradition, they do not have<br />
much of technology in the island, the people that live at there most of them are<br />
vary kind amd friendly, this palce let me feel clam and peace, in this island<br />
you even can feel your time, in the city you are rushing here and there but in<br />
the island you will feel you have lot of time to let you to spend, and I like this<br />
feeling.

because the people that live in there they belief god can bring them a good<br />
weather so they build a lot of diferent type of temple.<br />

home stay that we can choice, most of the home stay they will prepare trip<br />
schedule for their customers, like go to feed eagle, eat seafood BBQ at home<br />
stay or experience fishing.
Pulau Ketam<br />
when you reach jetty Pulau Ketam, you can feel the sea breeze blow on your face, if<br />
that time is falling tide you can see at the beach have a lot of small crab walk here and<br />
there, and in this time you can try to fing the One-Armed Crab at the beach, it is like a<br />
treasure hunt, because at the beach that have few more type of crab it is not easy to<br />
find it, but actually for me the One-Armed Crab is easy to recognize, so this is the<br />
time to know whether you have good observetion skill or not.<br />
Fire Station<br />
This fire station is build from the year of 1972, the reason is because in year 1967 it<br />
had fire disaster in their island, the fire burn out almost 200 of house in the island, so<br />
after that they build a fire station in their island for emergency case and this fire<br />
station is the only fire station in th island.

This police station build from the year of 1896, the security in Pulau Ketam is good,<br />
you get know this from their life stey, all of their house it just have a small gate, when<br />
you stride then you can go into the house, so from here you can see the people that<br />
live at there they feel secure.<br />
Pulau Ketam is a small island, but at there they have all the facility that they need,<br />
example bank, clinic, post office, and also telecommunication system.<br />
When you already in Pulau Ketam you choice you want to use bicycle or walk around<br />
the island, my suggestion is using bicycle because this island use walk through is big,<br />
but if using bicycle it is easy for you to find all the hot stops that you want, and also<br />
you can experience how the people that they live at this island. You can use your<br />
bicycle to cycling around the island the find food, wall painting, or just enjoy the<br />
