| Additional information |
Pulau Ubin is a small island off Singapore's northeastern coast that became the subject of quiet political anxiety in the early 2000s as urban development pressure mounted. The island retained a kampung lifestyle long after mainland Singapore had modernized entirely, and by 2007 it was one of the last places in Singapore where residents still lived without a mains electricity supply. This coin was issued during a period of active government debate about the island's future — a debate that has never fully resolved.
