I am fine today.
My family went to Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) today with some of our church members. This is the first time we ever visit the island.
Pulau Ketam is a fishing island about 10 km west of Port Klang. We took a commuter train from Petaling station at Old Klang Road to the Pelabuhan Klang first and then proceed to Pulau Ketam using express boat. The train journey took us about 1 hour and the boat ride from the jetty to the island took about half an hour only.
The main objective for us to visit the island is to enjoy the seafood there, and besides this, we also want to see the uniqueness of this special island. There is no car on the island; the only vehicle that we saw was bicycle. So the air there should be cleaner than most places. Another interesting feature of the island is that all the houses there are built on stilt above the mangrove swamps.
Though the seafood was not as great as we expected, the island is definitely a place worthy to visit due to its uniqueness.
The Kereta Tanah Melayu's (KTM) commuter train, RM3.80 per adult from Petaling station to Pelabuhan Klang. Half price for children. Quiet and relaxing, but a little bit slow.

Many small crabs on the mangroove swamp at the jetty. We saw someone catching the small crab successfully using fishing rod with squid as bait.
Very colourful crabs - first time I ever see this type of crab (click to get a larger view)
