As a child, my family was in the Vietnames refugee camp during 1978-79. I always remembered it to be Pulau Besar but based on recent Google searches, I now have some doubt that it might have been Pulau Tengah. Does anyone know for sure?
I would like to revisit that beautiful island. Has anyone been there?

It definitely wasn't Pulau Bidong, which became a much larger Refugee camp soon after I arrived at Besar/Tengah. My father escaped later from Vietnam and he was housed at Bidong.
Answer
i am sorry i dont know the answer - i wasnt even born yet.
just dropping by to say i appreciate your thoughts about this place. my colleague who happened to be a vietnamese refugee in Malaysia after she was born does not even want to know anything about malaysia. i also have a group of vietnamese friends who were once refugees in indonesia and they are always not at ease when we mentioned the camp or even the country names. i guess i can understand the feelings they have... thats why i am just dropping by to say...mmm i will try to ask around if anyone knows which island it was.

Should I go to India or Malaysia for school camp?

I can't choose!
Answer
If this is about the school camp then in my opinion, you might wanna try Malaysia. In Malaysia, you'll meet more people with different ethnic/race/culture(Malay, Chinese, Indian). I'm not trying to say one is better than the other. India and Malaysia both is a beautiful country. India have 1 of the richest culture in the world. You have to choose, both country is amazing.
Update: Yeah, like what Deepak said. India have more place to visit, since it is 5 times bigger than Malaysia. Good Luck and have fun.
