Pulau Ular is the small island located to the immediate west of Pulau Bukom, and to the northwest of Pulau Bukom Kechil. As with its neighbouring island, it is used to house Singapore's petrochemical industry, chiefly by Shell Base Chemicals. You can see a number of chimneys and cylindrical tanks on the island. Today the island has been merged with Pulau Bukom Kechil.
The name Pulau Ular means "snake island", probably due to the presence of sea snakes found there.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
