PERHENTIAN ISLAND
The Perhentian Islands (Pulau
Perhentian in Malay) lie approximately 10 nautical miles (19 km)
off the coast of northeastern West Malaysia in the state
of Terengganu, approximately 40 miles (64 km) south of the Thai border.
The two main islands are Perhentian Besar ("Big
Perhentian") and Perhentian Kecil ("Small
Perhentian").
The small, uninhabited islands of Susu Dara (Virgin Milk),
Serenggeh and Rawa lie off Kecil. The Perhentians belong to Pulau Redang
National Marine Park, which means that fishing, collecting coral and littering
are strictly prohibited. Like Besut, people here generally
speak Kelantanese Malay.
