Hi, how are you? I am Kelong "Adam". Welcome to the website and let me introduce my home to you.
My home is located at the south of Johore, outside of Sibu Island from the east cost of Malaysia . It is just
102 minutes to travel by car from Johore Bharu to Tanjung Leman dock. Then, you can reach here within
an hour by boat. During the past, Pulau Sibu was well-known by its "ikan bilis"- dried little fish and
lobster. There are also a few Kelong works around the island. But later, government decided to preserve
2 nautical miles of Sibu Island to be ocean park. Kelong was very lucky to preserve for tourism purpose. It
has become a main tourism location and fishing location which attracted the tourists from England , Korea ,
Singapore , Hong Kong , Japan and other South East Asia countries.
Time flies, I, Adam have been living here for over twenty years. Everything has changed greatly. Yesterday
was just like a dream. Today is vary from the past. Kelong has expanded to a larger scale. However, the
natural view, crystal clear water, the shadows of sea gulls and fishes never changed.
It is enjoyable to fishing in the morning with fresh air and relaxing wind. At night, the ocean waves come with
the wind are just like music, makes people feel carefree and no more worries.
Opposite the Sibu Island , there is a waving beach. From the beach at front side of the hill to the opposite
side, just need 5 minutes by foot. Anyway, it is a barely island in Malaysia . With cool wind, flourishing
coconut trees and wide plain, it is wonderful to have a coconut drink and enjoy the peace.
Actually, Kelong is a typical Unjang fish area. There are a lot if micro-organisms and sea shells in the
bottom of the sea. Little fishes are attracted to come over for food. It makes me feel hard to leave this
place when I watch those fishes moving freely in the water.
