Derived from the Malay language, the Singlish (aka Singapore English) colloquialism ulu is used as an attribute for
areas that people here deem to be remote and rural, a bit backward and undeveloped.
The label ulu is generously applied to any out of the way place where nature is still somewhat untamed and wild.
Really ulu places have plenty of wilderness and rustic charm to offer, but only limited mobile coverage and they lack
basic amenities of civilization, such as air-con or MRT stations.
Contrary to popular belief there are still places left in Singapore that match the above description.

Tucked away in the remote corners of the island mangrove swamps, coral reefs and rainforests survive and
thrive. They provide a place to unwind and a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore with its
sparkling shopping centers and popular tourist haunts.
The nature reserves of Singapore still harbour an amazing diversity of tropical flora and fauna and offer a rare opportunity
to enjoy the splendour of the tropics in a safe and comfortable environment. And less than an hour's ride from the city
center, they can easily be explored on short visits and are thus ideal for business travellers, stopover tourists and families
with kids.
