  Pedra Branca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pedra Branca or Pulau Batu Puteh (both meaning "white rock" in Portuguese and Malay respectively; Chinese: 白礁) (1°19′48″N, 104°24′28″E) is an outcrop of rocks situated where the Singapore Strait, specifically Straits of Johor, meets the South China Sea, measuring at its longest, during low water spring tide, a mere 137 meters.
It is known as Pedra Branca in Singapore and Pulau Batu Puteh in Malaysia.
The island was recorded as early as 1583, by the Dutch voyager Johann van Linschoten, that Pedra Branca is "where ships that come and go to and from China pass in great danger and some are left upon it".

 Pedra Branca Skink 
The vulnerable Pedra Branca Skink has a remarkably restricted distribution, being only found on the barren, widswept island of Pedra Branca, where they feed on small invertebrates and on fish scraps dropped or regurgitated by the seabirds on the island.
Pedra Branca, which is about 55 m above sea level at its highest point, has a total area of about 2.5 ha but only about 0.14 ha provides suitable habitat for this skink.
Threats: Pedra Branca skinks face a number of potential threats, including the introduction of rats or other animals to the island, climate change, an increase in the number of silver gulls which feed on the skinks, or loss of food source through a decline in seabird colonies.

The arrival of US President George Dubya Bush in Singapore was delayed by several hours when Air Force One pilots landed on the island of Pedra Branca by mistake.
As Malaysia also claims sovereignty over Pedra Branca (the subject of an impending case before the International Court of Justice at the Hague), Kuala Lumpur was insisting that President Bush be arrested for entering Malaysian territory without a valid visa.
On the contrary, he told the media that it was a blessing in disguise to have wrongly landed on Pedra Branca.
