CW8888 : LOL! Too convenient then higher seafood price. leh!
Currently, Morning SIN to JB Larkin to Pontian (lunch) then to Kukup (1 to 2 night). 2 to 2.5 hrs by public transport on way.
Long time, didn't go to Pontian for seafood!
Speaking at Pakatan Harapan's rally for the Tanjung Piai by-election, Mr Muhyiddin said that the services would help transport tourists from Tuas in Singapore to Kukup more efficiently, and bring in more tourism dollars for the area.
"I've heard a few locals here asking why are there are no ferry services between Kukup and Tuas in Singapore, because many Singaporeans love to visit Kukup to eat seafood and enjoy the many activities in the area," said Mr Muhyiddin.
"I've asked the (Johor) chief minister if this was feasible, he said to me just now, god willing, yes. So if we win, we will ensure that ferry services between Singapore and Kukup are implemented as soon as possible," he added, drawing loud applause from the crowd.
Plans to boost tourism in Kukup has recently gained momentum, with campaigning for the Tanjung Piai parliamentary by-election intensifying before voting on Saturday.

KUKUP, Johor: More than 1,400 people live in Kampung Ayer Masin, a quaint fishing village at the south-western tip of Johor.
ReplyDeleteThe village is built on stilts on top of a muddy mangrove, facing dozens of fish farm platforms, or keramba, where most of the locals hold their catch.
The fishes and prawns here are sold to Singapore, Johor Bahru and Melaka, and the village is also popular among tourists who come to experience the rustic charm of a fishing village.

However, one of the fishermen in the area, Mr Ang Wei Xun, told CNA that he predicts the village would no longer exist within a decade.
“It’s getting impossible to catch enough fish to feed our families,” said the 28-year-old.

“Recently we all lost a lot of money because of sudden mass fish deaths. There are also a lot of development, which means the area for us to fish is getting smaller. This can’t carry on,” added Mr Ang.
