Legend has it that Pulau Ubin was formed when three animals from Singapore – a pig, a frog and an elephant – challenged each other to race from Singapore to Johor across the Straits and the animals that failed, would be turned to stone. The three animals all faced difficulties along the way and were all unsuccessful in reaching the shores of Johor. The frog was turned into Pulau Sekudu, or Frog Island (an island just off Pulau Ubin), whilst the pig and elephant turned to stone, together forming Pulau Ubin.
