Bidong Island

Bidong Island is a small island in Malaysia where people used to live a long time ago. It was a very important place during the Vietnam War because people who were trying to escape from the war would come to Bidong Island to try to find a safe place to stay.

The island was very popular because it was close to Vietnam and was one of the few places where people could find shelter. People from all over the world came to Bidong Island to help the refugees, including doctors and aid workers.

However, things changed when the war ended and the refugees were able to go back to their homes. Bidong Island was abandoned and left empty for many years.

Today, the island is a popular tourist destination for people who want to see the beautiful beaches and learn about the history of the island. People can take a boat ride to the island and explore the old buildings and remnants of the past. It's a special place that holds a lot of meaning for many people who were affected by the Vietnam War.
