Though she grew up on Pulau Blakang Mati, Mdm Mustainah’s heart was anchored to Brani — where she went to school, fell in love, and started her married life. Her reflections offer a rare, cross-island perspective on community, kinship, and gotong-royong.
Pulau Brani was once home to vibrant kampongs, football fields, open-air cinemas, and a community bound by sea and song. This eBook gathers first-hand memories, photographs, and stories from islanders who lived through its celebrations, struggles, and resettlement.
