A Pangkor Odyssey

The Dutch arrived at 1670 and built a fort that came under frequent attacks by the natives.

The engraving on the rock here depicted a Dutch child being abducted by a vicious tiger, dated 1746.

The locals will tell you that the real 'tiger' were their ancestors.

Soon after, the Dutch abandoned this island — the rebellions and the piracy proved to be too costly.
