00:17After the end of the Vietnam War in 1975,
00:19tens of thousands of Vietnamese people fled to Asia
00:22in the risk of their lives because of fear of the new regime.
00:24Malaysia is one of the most refugees-invaded countries.
00:27Due to humanitarian reasons,
00:28the Malaysian government placed these Vietnamese refugees
00:30on the island of Dengjialou.
00:32At its peak, it had received more than 250,000 refugees.
00:35These refugees relied on simple supplies
00:37to live on Bidong Island,
00:38waiting for the reception of the third country.
00:40In 1991, the refugee camp was closed.
00:42Bidong Island was returned to the Dengzhou government
00:44and listed as a protected island.
