Stay outside the boundary of Raffles Light House

Raffles Lighthouse is a beautiful lighthouse situated on Pulau Satumu. You can't visit and you certainly can't go closer than 300m from the Island. The Lighthouse is protected. The moment you stray into the imaginary boundary, 300m from the light, you'll be intercepted by the PCG (Police Coast Guard. There's no ifs or buts, stay out or face a heavy fine. I speak from experience... one that I do not wish to repeat again. I went to the lighthouse to fish on Sun 6 Jun. The fishing was good. I was distracted. My anchor was dragging. I wasn't paying attendtion... too busy trying to catch a big one. It was only when I saw a PCG boat heading straight for me that I instinctively checked the boat's position on the chartplotter. We had indeed dragged anchor. I was inside the Restricted zone. Too late. I quickly pulled up the anchor but before it was even half-way up, the PCG was already breathing down my neck. What followed was an hour of sending them my NRIC, PPCDL licence and boat documents through whatsapps. They were extremely polite to me, but I knew, the MPA would send me a summons soon. Alas! my quiet day of fishing on a sunny Sunday afternoon turned sour. AFTERNOTE: I didn't receive a summons. Not even a Notice or Warning. The PCG Officer was true to his word. He concurred that I was anchored outside the Restricted zone and saw my boat dragging on her anchor. I am grateful to that PCG Officer. He indeed has a Seaman's eye. I've since upgraded my anchor to a heavier 7.5kg Bruce and increased the chain from 30ft to 50ft. That should be more than enough to hold the 26ft Catamaran.
