Pulau Ketam is a small island located off the coast of Port Kelang, founded circa 1880. Visitors to the island could travel there by ferry. The island dwellers lived in houses constructed on long wooden stilts, that has come to be known as the ‘floating houses’. The reason being that when the sea level rises, the house is seen to be floating. These houses could be found surrounding the island.
Houses of these type are mainly found in the straits because they are protected against rough seas, sea such as the South China Sea.
The main source of income for these dwellers is fishing. By docking their fishing boats to their homes, these fishermen have direct access to the Straits of Malacca.
