Do you know that there is a Cambodian village in Pekan?

It is said that a dozen thousands of Cambodians have been staying in Kampung Pulau Keladi in Pekan for many years and they call Malaysia their home while some also claim themselves as Malaysians.

Cambodians in the village are mostly Muslims who live a simple self-reliance life. Some villagers are engaged in river fish farming, banana plantation, duck farming and fishing, while some are engaged in plantation, construction and business sectors.
