2. Short Briefing of Perhentian Islands

Located 21km from mainland Terengganu, Malaysia under district Besut and approximately 64 km border to Thailand. Consists of two main islands which is Pulau Perhentian Besar and Pulau Perhentian Kecil.

“The name “Perhentian” means “stopping point” in Malay, referring to the islands’ traditional role as a waypoint for traders between Bangkok and Malaysia. The islands were sparsely inhabited by fishermen for centuries, although tourism now accounts for most economic activity.

The Perhentian Islands appear on many maps of the nineteenth and twentieth century as ‘The Station Islands’. This arises from the British colonial period, as an English translation of “stopping point”.

Pulau Perhentian was one of the islands where Vietnamese refugees or boat people landed during the 1970s.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perhentian_Islands
