Main image

Pulau Anak Bukom is a very small islet immediately adjacent to Pulau Bukom in Singapore’s southern offshore island group. The name means “child of Bukom” and reflects its position beside the larger industrial island.

The islet has no public infrastructure and is part of the cluster of islands associated with maritime and petrochemical facilities in the area. It is functionally linked to the industrial operations on the nearby main island and is not open to the general public.

Located off the southern coast of Singapore, it lies within the waters controlled by Singapore’s maritime and port authorities and is visible from nearby industrial vantage points and some coastal viewpoints on the main island.

  • Restricted access: A very small islet directly adjacent to a larger industrial island, with no public facilities and no permanent public access.
