If you're vacationing in Penang and are tired of the traffic and the busy beaches, then why not head off to a pristine, untouched jungle resort only 15 minutes by boat ride from Penang.
Known to the locals as Pulau Jerejak (Jerejak Island), the island is the largest of the small islands around Penang and is easily viewable when crossing the Penang bridge.
The island was first founded in 1907 by Sir Francis Light who used it as a disease containment camp before an Alcatraz style prison was set up on the island in the1960's.
Now there's a resort on the island but the prison remains are still visible and so s the detention camp.
My wife and I took a trip there last week, and here's our pictures and stories of the island.
Check out our story of Jerejak Island.
