History overview
Chia Soon Kelong is situated offshore from Pasir GoGok - Johor, near to Pengerang
The traditional family orientated business is founded by Mr Tam Ka Sin, a Hakka Chinese man.
The History of this kelong business dated back to early 1942 where its main operation was net fishing and fish farming. Back then, live and fresh fishes from the kelong were supply to the former Kangka fishery, and then the Ponggol Fishery port. Both fishery ports have since been demolished due to the need for urban development.

Both fishery ports have since been demolished due to the need for urban development.
The catch from the sea gradually decreased due to environmental factors, while the operation and maintenance cost of the kelong continued to increase. As a result, the kelong started to welcome visitors on board starting from the year 1987. The kelong has been expending in its floor area over the years. Partition rooms have been increased from 3 to 8 and a floating platform has been added for visitors to organise their own games, fishing, BBQ and other activities.
