Key Facts

Singkep is an island and administrative district (kecamatan) located in the Lingga Regency of the Riau Islands Province in Indonesia. Situated in the South China Sea, Singkep lies approximately 120 kilometers south of Singapore and forms part of the larger Lingga Archipelago. With a land area of roughly 757 square kilometers, it is the second largest island in the regency after Lingga Island itself. Historically, Singkep was renowned for its rich tin mining industry, which dominated the local economy for over a century until the mines closed in the early 1990s. The island is administratively divided into 9 villages (desa/kelurahan) and has a population of approximately 40,000 people according to recent estimates. The terrain features low-lying coastal areas with some hilly regions in the interior, and the economy has transitioned to focus on fishing, agriculture, and small-scale trade following the decline of mining.
