I'm looking for information about the Tenggah Island. There's not much of it in the net, except that it was a former Vietnamese refugee transit camp. Has its name been changed? Or does it belong with another group of island? Please let me know how to go there, activities in the island, transportation and facilities. Thanks.

Pulau Tengah is just about half hour boat ride from Mersing..
it's between Mersing and Tioman...
I've been there before (snorkeling, diving, fishing, etc).
The water is not as crystal as Tioman or Lang Tengah (much further away)...underwater visibility is about 30-40 feets only.
Quite easy to get there....1st go to Mersing...and but a ferry ticket. There's quite a few ferry/speed boats awaiting.
Accomodations...there are chalets and dorms. It's advisable to book early....
U could call +60 7 799 5212 (Mersing Tourist Centre) for more info.

Actually u r not getting the right answers from both Dina and Farah[sorry girls], youself also got the wrong info, Lang Tengah now named as Pulau Sibu Tengah lying just beside Pulau Sibu, P.S.T is much much smaller hence facility also lesser as compared with P.S. The Vietnamese Refugee transit camp was on Pulau Bidong near Merang[closer to Pulau Redang], Terengganu. For Pulau Lang Tengah, you need to get off from Kuala Besut, Terengganu, its on the way to Pulau Redang. You may visit www.island@malaysia.com or www.PingAnchorage.com, Sorry i would like to help but not sure which island you mean, if its Lang Tengah then good choice as its one of the diving heaven !

Hi! I'm traveling to Malaysia myself so I bought the "Insight Guide Malaysia", it has a lot of info but I have had much time to look at it yet. On page 253 there's a section called "Jewels in the sea" They name a bigger island with more facilities called Pulau Redang and a smaller and quieter one named Pulau Lang Tengah. They suggest booking your package in advance from the east coast or KL. You can go snorkelling and diving in the corals, even at night. There's a traditional fishing village and a Marine Park and a giant turtle hatching center.
Here are some websites:

I hope it helps and that we can exchange some info. I'll be traveling in January. Good luck!

I think it's now named Pulau Sibu, about 2 hrs north of Johor Bahru on the Mersing Rd.

it's not Tenggah Island, actually it is Pulau Lang Tengah. you can get there by speed boat by Mersing's Jetty. you can go for a snorkelling, diving and maybe island hopping...
