Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. 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.Hantu is the Malay word for ghost and Pulau Hantu is aptly named as island of ghosts. It was here that ancient Malay warriors once dueled to the death and their ghosts are said to wander the isle.There were once two great warriors locked in a fierce battle at sea. Many people died and the blue seas slowly became polluted with human blood, upsetting the Jinns at the bottom of the ocean. In anger, one powerful Jinn created a whirlpool and sucked the two warriors into the deep sea to drown them. Not deterred, they continued their battle. Suddenly, the Jinn sprayed water on one of them. The other warrior, seeing his opponent blinded, thrusted his sword into his abdomen. At the same time, the wounded warrior plunged his sword into the other man. Both collapsed and died.
