Going back to basics in Pulau Ketam


Clusters of houses on wooden and cement stilts is a natural sight all around Pulau Ketam. Getting from one place to another requires a RM1 boat ride.

JUST across the Sungai Kelang, via a 20-minute speedboat ride from the Port Klang jetty, sits a cluster of floating houses perched on wooden stilts.

As quaint and picturesque as it may be, we were soon greeted by whiffs of salty sea air plus a mild stench of sewerage emanating from beneath the murky waters.
