About Batam
Batam sits just 20 kilometers south of Singapore across the Strait, serving as a weekend escape destination where duty-free shopping and beach resorts attract affluent neighbors. This island's rapid industrialization contrasts with Singapore's developed modernity—a glimpse into Southeast Asia's uneven development pattern.
