discovered when the resettlement reaches its final phase, where the once inaccessible south eastern coastal strip of Pulau Ubin became approachable.The discovery of the rich marine life along the coast did not escape the media and there was a frantic surge of interest , from the many nature deprived Singaporeans.
At the beginning of 2002, the government surprisingly conceded to appeals and granted a conditional extension for Pulau Ubin to remain in its current state for at least the next 10 years, until there is a need for its redevelopment . In the following couple of years, the government took interest on Chek Jawa and gingerly improve the common amenities on Pulau Ubin with paved roads, shelters, information kiosks as well as a visitor centre at Chek Jawa . The government also played its part in the conservation and protection of Chek Jawa's coastal and its wetland, in creating a enviornmental and visitors friendly santuary with an observation tower, boardwalks and viewing jetties, reaching to the coast and the lands between, where nipah plams, mangroves trees and other coastal vegatation thrives.
