Pulau Pisang Lighthouse

The Pulau Pisang Lighthouse is located on the highest point of Pulau Pisang, an island in the Strait of Malacca, 15 kilometers from Pontian Kechil, Johor, Malaysia. It was built in 1914 as a 16-meter high circular cast iron tower with a single storey keeper's house at the base. The lighthouse is a cylindrical tower with a balcony and lantern.

As of 2008, the lighthouse remains an aid for maritime navigation into the western entrance of the Singapore Strait. Due to its isolated location, it is only reachable via boat and an access road. The lighthouse is operated by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, despite being located on an island that belongs to Johor, Malaysia. This unique arrangement is the result of a 1900 agreement between Sultan Ibrahim of Johor and the British government of Singapore.

The Pulau Pisang Lighthouse has an interesting history, with management of the lighthouse remaining with Singapore even after the country separated from Malaysia in 1965. Since 1974, instructions to the lighthouse keeper have been to not fly any ensign at the lighthouse, and since 2002, lighthouse keepers and maintenance workers have had to clear Malaysia's customs before heading to the island. The lighthouse remains an important aid to navigation, and its management arrangement continues to be a unique aspect of the relationship between Singapore and Malaysia.
