This pretty tree with the blue berries is actually a home-grown native to Singapore! Funnily enough, I saw some specimens while walking the coastal boardwalk in Changi today. The Wildfilms blog tells us more about this tree.

In Hsuan Keng’s The Concise Flora of Singapore (1990), it is reported to be found near seashores at Loyang, Tuas, Jurong, Pulau Tekong and Pulau Bayan. These areas on the mainland have experienced a great deal of development. So the tree we saw might be among the rare survivors on a natural shore.
