Does anyone have any clue as to how many western women have
been sexually assaulted in the Perhentian Islands? My LP
guide for Malaysia and the Malaysian Tourist Office don't
seem to be able to tell me. Anyone else out there able to
speak from experience?

    There isn't enough room to write the true stories I could
    tell! Let's just say, "It happens more than anyone wants
    to admit!" and "I'm still shocked by what goes on there!".

    I have just left the islands'. Unless you walk through the
    jungle at night on your own then I can't see there being
    any problems. Of course if you walk around topless then yes
    you may encourage someone - just don't do it and respect
    the locals.
    The Islands' are beautiful and you'll have a great time.
