History


During World War II, the island was where Freddie Spencer Chapman made his submarine getaway during the Japanese occupation of Malaya.[1] Luciano Pavarotti visited the island in 1994 and he declared the island a paradise. In 2002 Pavarotti officiated the opening of Spa Village, a spa facility attached to the Pangkor Laut Resort, with the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the event .[2]
