Pulau Jerejak - Pulau Jerejak or 'Jerejak Island' has a rather colourful and dubious past. In the early 19th century, the British used it as a health quarantine centre immigrants heading to the main island. A hospital for tuberculosis patients was later built on the island. Later, a prison colony was established called the Jerejak Rehabilitation Centre. It's also known as the Alcatraz of Malaysia because of its remoteness and inaccessibility. Nevertheless, several inmates actually managed to escape. Nowadays, the island is a favourite amongst nature lover with its rich flora and fauna. It's also a great place for birdwatching. On a good day, you can catch a glimpse of exotic species such as the White Bellied Sea Eagle.
