People and Places: Pulau Ketam
Pulau Ketam, literally translated, means Crab Island. It is a small island located off the coast of Port Klang, Selangor, Malaysia, and was founded circa 1880. Over twenty years ago, Pulau Ketam was a marsh land that was devoid of habitation. Some Chinese immigrants landed on the shore and decided to call it home. The name 'Ketam' literally means crab. It is derived from the shape of the island that bears the resemblance of this crustacean if viewed from a certain attitude.The island is easily accessible from the Port Klang jetty by ferry.
In the absence of proper motorway, the people in the island are using either bicycle/engine-powered bicycle or simply walk to move from one place to another.
