Pulau Aman, the island off Batu Kawan, was recently visited by my friend Michael, who took some photos of the surroundings. He provided those photos to me, so that you can have a better idea of how Pulau Aman looks like as of January 2012.

Among the sights Michael visited including the two ammunition storage houses (gudang peluru). They were the northern and southern battery.
