Pulau Hantu
Pulau Hantu is located to the south of the main island of Singapore, off the Straits of Singapore. Pulau Hantu is actually made up of two islets: ''Pulau Hantu Besar'' (Big Ghost Island) and ''Pulau Hantu Kechil'' (Little Ghost Island), with a total area of 12.6 hectares. At low tide, it is possible to wade across the shallow lagoon between the two islands, but not at high tide. ==Etymology== The name Pulau Hantu literally means "Ghost Island" in Malay. It may refer to the "disappearing" moment of the mid part of the island during the high tide. During the low tide, Pulau Hantu can be seen as one island with two large bays on the northern and southern side of the island. However, during the high tide, the water level in the bays would rise and the midsection of island (which is geographically lower than other parts) would disappear under the tide and resulting in two smaller islands.
